The four new companies were commanded

respectively by Sir Abraham Shipman, Kt.,

who had been appointed Governor of

Bombay; Col. John Hungerford; Capt.

John Shipman; and Capt. Charles Povey.

Each company had a lieutenant, ensign,

two sergeants, three corporals, two drummers

and a hundred privates. From the MS.

dated London, Feb., 1661 [1661/2]," and

headed Monies disburst for his Majties

Acct by mee Sir Abraham Shipman, Knt.,

for ye expedicon of ye following officers and

soldiers for ye Island of Bombay in East

India," it appears that each of the aforesaid

captains received 1007. for levying one

hundred men. John Shipman's company

was mustered on 2 Feb., 1661/2, when it

consisted of only half its strength; but at

the second muster, on 7 March following,

it was complete. Povey's company was

mustered on 4 Feb., 1661/2, being then at

its full strength. The two remaining com-

panies were mustered on 11 March. All

four companies were paid their arrears on

the last-named date, and at the same time

received advance pay up to 6 April, when

they embarked on board the Earl of Marl-

borough's fleet for Bombay. From Sir A.

Shipman's well-kept accounts it appears

that he, as Governor and Commander-in-

Chief, received 27. per diem. Col. Hunger-

ford got 128. per diem*; while the other

two captains had 88. a day each. Under

date of 6 April, 1662, Sir A. Shipman gives

this entry :-

"Paid to all ye officers fower months advance,

commencing from 6th Aprill, at which tyme they

went aboard shipp, till ye 27th July following."

The pay per day was at this rate: lieutenant,

48.; ensign, 38.; sergeant, 1s. 6d.; cor-

poral, 18.; drummer, 18.; private, 9d.

Sir A. Shipman's subalterns were Lieut.

Price and Ensign Thomas Fowlkes; John

Shipman's were Lieut. John Cole and Ensign

Squire; Povey's were Lieut. Forster and

Ensign John Thorne; Hungerford's were

Lieut. Twyning and Ensign Garth.

addition to the four companies of infantry

sent to Bombay, a small detail of artillery

formed a part of each company. A surgeon,

surgeon's mate, provost-marshal,

*The amount is torn off in the MS., but as Col.
Hungerford received 157. 128. for 26 days' pay, it
works out at 12s. per diem. This officer probably
acted as lieutenant-colonel of the British garrison.
He was third son of Sir Anthony Hungerford, by a
second wife, and half-brother to Sir Edward Hun-
gerford. Col. John Hungerford commanded the
Royalist garrison at Farleigh Castle when it was
besieged and taken in September, 1645.
