A sworn deposition by John Casen, servant to Lord Strange, testifying to the poor health of Captain Edward Christian, governor of the Isle of Mann, as of March 1633. Casen delivered letters from Lord Strange to Christian in late January and observed him bedridden throughout his stay. The document attests to Christian's incapacity to travel by horseback due to a lingering sickness that began in September 1632.
