A manuscript in a single hand, signed by the clerks and witnesses, providing a record of the answers to fifteen questions, prompted by an 1814 parliamentary investigation into the living conditions of ‘Lascars and Chinese’ which ended with the publication of a report from a Committee on Lascars and Other Asiatic Seamen in 1816. As part of their investigation, the clerk Isaac Newton records the answers of 'Boodoo' and 'Mamood', both of whom attest to the statements with their marks of an 'x', which provide very detailed evidence of the living conditions, the kind and amount of food and drink provided, clothing and health care and the physical safety in cramped living quarters, the way in which these sailors were buried
