17. Lawrence Cronin, was born in Belfast, Ireland, age 33, although marked in the muster book as “Volunteer” Cronin was “almost certainly pressed.” Cronin was literate and had recently been promoted from AB to Surgeon’s mate. Pope, pp.176 -175

18. James Dick, purser RN, was the naval purser, and storekeeper at the Jamaica dockyard from 1796 to 1803. The accidental discovery in 1797 of some boxes of this currency, addressed to him, had caused Vice-Admiral Sir Hyde Parker2 to write to the Admiralty and to the Navy Board, who eventually came to the conclusion that Dick had been doing no more than that which was an accepted practice in the Islands; but they were induced to inquire minutely into his general financial conduct, and found that he had been tampering with government money. Only in 1803 were James Dick’s misdemeanors made public. As a result he was dismissed from the Royal Navy for “tampering with government money.” Dick apparently failed through either “negligence or ignorance to credit Government with the premiums which he exacted on bills drawn for official purposes by various naval officers” See J.D. A. Thompson, Documents Illustrating the Export of Counterfeit Currency to the West Indies,  (British Numismatic Society, London ,1952), pp.80-85 https://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1952_BNJ_27_9.pdf
