The humble Petition of Charles William Stutley< no role >

Humble Sheweth

That yr. Petr. by Indenture of Apprentiship
bearing Date the Twenty sixth Day of November 1733. was bound
Apprentice to Jerrom Johnson of the Parish of St. [..] Martin in the Fields in
the County of Middx Glas Ingraver< no role > for the Term of Seven Years from thence
next ensuing to learn the Art of Glass Ingraving. And tho' ye Petr. hath
faithfully sewed his [..] Master the sd. Jerrom Johnson ever since Yet his sd.
Master hath not instructed him in the sd. Art, but (as ye Petr. verily
believes) to conceal the same from yr. Petr. put what work of that kind
he has for two Years past had to do, to be wrought by another Person &
has imployed Yr. Petr. only to scollop Glass (an Art which his sd, Master did
not follow before nor at the time ye. Petr. was bound to him as aforesd.)
which has been very prejudicial to yr. Petrs. Health whereby yr. Petr.
has been twice poisoned & is now so weak That he is unable to work
at any Business & is afraid he shall never recover his Health again.

Yr. Petr. therefore humbly prays that his sd.
Master may be compelled to teach & instruct him
in the sd. Art of a Glass Ingraver as by hissdIndre
he is obliged to do, or that yr. Petr. may be discharged
from his sd. Indre of Apprenticeship or have such
further & other Relief as to yr. Worships shall seem
meet

And yr. Petr. shall ever pray Etc
