Read the Petition of John Pettifer 52 years of Age, of the Parish of St James Garlick Hill, by trade a Baker. He has been at sea since the year 1794. From the time of his discharge he has worked as a Porter at Tower Stairs upon which Station he was accused of stealing ?3 - from one Thos Green who works at Billingsgate, for which offence he has been privately whipped in Newgate, Applying to the Lord Mayor for relief, his attention was directed to the Refuge for the Destitute; & he now solicited protection for 3 or 4 weeks, until his wife may have completed her engagement with a Lady whom she is nursing. The Surgeon having reported his legs to be in a bad condition from a scorbutic* disorder which the poor man stated to have been brought into large wounds by the Irons in Prison; the Secretary undertook to see the Lord Mayor on the subject of sending him to an hospital or to his parish. Ordered that 7s/ be given him for present subsistence. [*Scorbutic meant 'diseased with the scurvy' Johnson's Dictionary (1792 ed).]
