GEORGE TORRIANO.
[NOTES ON DOCUMENT No. 154.) (1) The two attorneys left in charge of Scattergood's affairs in Madras in 1722 were both in the Com. pany's service, George Torriano being a factor and Nicholas Morse a writor at Fort St. George.
(2) See notes (5) And (6) on document No. 115 (p. 223). (3) See note (7) on ditto. () See note (2) on ditto. () See note (6) on document No. 114 (p. 218).
(6) It must be the respondentia note that was lost and not the ship, for the arrival of the "brigantine Prosperous, Captain John Tawke, from Bengall" on 17 Aprill and her departure for the same Presidency on 30 May 1722 is chronicled in the Fort St. George Diary.
(7) See ante, p. 256. (8) Captain J. Dabbadie or Daberdie, who was then with the John ketch at Cochin (see p. 255).
(9) Captain Marmaduke Crompton was in command of the Mary Ann brigantine trading to and from Bongal. She sailed from Madras on 7 May 1722 (Fort St. George Diary).
(10) It ia doubtful to which of the many ships called Ann or Anne this remark refers. There is no record of the wreck of a vessel of that name at this period.
(11) It was in the voyage of the Duke of Cambridge to Madras and Bengal 1719-1721 that Scattergood was now concerned.
(12) Here again it is difficult to understand what Soattergood means by "lost ", for there are references to the sailing of the Harriot or Heriot in both Madras and Bengal records from 1718 to 1722, with no allusion to any accident befalling her.
(13) There are no details of this "obligation." For the London see note (4) on document No. 114. (14) See p. 162 for Scattergood's interest in the Britannia. (15) Thomas Cooke, member of Council at Fort St. George, dismissed in 1721. (16) There is no other reference to this individual in the Papers.
(17) This refers to the voyage of the Hanover, a Company's ship, Captain James Osborne, 1719-1721, to Bombay, Tellicherry and Madras. She was at this period again outward bound to Bombay under Captain John Bond.
Two days after the above list of papers was drawn up, on 30 June 1722, as the Fort St. George Diary records, "Ship Bonita, Captain John Harry commander, sail'd for Canton,"
