[Lebanon] March 18th, 1777.
A letter came in from Capt. Seth Harding requesting some advice, whether to allow one Cornelius Dunham of the brig Defence, who was wounded in their fight in Boston Bay 2 and was at home lame in time of a cruise made afterwards, his share of prize money and his wages whilst disabled to serve by reason of his wound; to which an answer was given that no reason appears to this Board against it.
