James Jauncy, grocer and citizen of London, deposed in the High Court of Admiralty on Nov 8th 1658. He was responding to an allegation made on behalf of Watson and How in the case of "Warren against Watson and How." There had been two prior deponents on the same day in the same case - Simon Messinger, a forty year old cooper of Shadwell in Middlesex and John Goodman a thirty-four year old cooper of Saint Catherin Colman.[1]
Jauncy's testimony concerned the tonnage of Virginia hogsheads of tobacco and the relatove space taken up by hogsheads of Virginia tobacco versus hogsheads of wine.
Jauncy attested to his own expertise, saying that he had used the trade of Virginia and other tobaccoes as a feeman and apprentice for "thise seaventeene yeares last".
He signed himself James Jaunceye, with an "e" after the "y", in contrast with the spelling of his name by the notary public in the High Court of Admiralty, who rendered his surname without a final "e".
