==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
Thirty year old Richard Atkinson deposed on November 12th 1658 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on an allegation in the case of "Warner against Watson and How".<ref>[[HCA 13/72 f.667v Annotate|HCA 13/72 f.667v]]</ref>

In his deposition, Atkinson stated that he had lived in Crooked Lane, London, for the last seven years and "useth the said trade of a tobacconist or worke man in tobaccoes". Asked about his net worth he replied that "hee knoweth not his worth in cleare estate having many debts owing him which hee knowes not when hee shall get in". Asked about his relationship with Mr Warner he stated "hee sometimes cuts and makes up tobaccoes for the said Mr Warner as hee doth for other men". Atkinson had taken up tobacco for Mr Philip Allen which came to London in the ship the ''Alexander''. The hogsheads of tobaccoe in the ''Alexander'' weighed variously three hundred weight, three hundred and fifty, three hundred and seventy-five and four hundred weight. For the last three or four years Atkinson stated that Virginia hogsheads were larger than they used to be.<ref>[[HCA 13/72 f.668r Annotate|HCA 13/72 f.668r]]</ref>
