==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
Twenty-nine year old John Moor deposed on November 7th 1655 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on a livell on behalf of John Bayly and Company in the case of "John Bayly and Company owners of the shipp the ''Imployment'' against the shipp the ''James and Marten'' (wheref Phillipp Stafford is master and against the sayd Stafford and company coming in for their interest therein and against whomsoever els appearing in this behalfe."<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.679r Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.679r]]</ref>

The case involved damage to the ship the ''Imployment'' as a result of sitting on the anchor of a second ship, the ''James and Martin'', when they were both riding near Execution dock in the River Thames. The ''Imployment'' was a large ship of about three hundred tons burthen.<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.680r Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.680r]]</ref>

John Moor stated that John Bayly owned one sixteenth part and one thirty second part of the ship the ''Imployment'', having bought the shares sight or tenn months ago from a Mr Bowle.

The damage done to the ''Imployment'' was dramatic, with John Moor describing one hundred men being caused to come from other ships and from on shore to help them bail the ''Imployment'' to save her from sinking and to get her to shore to stop her leak. It took a considerable time. The crew "could not get her a shoare till five tydes after shee bilged upon the sayd Anchor as aforesayd, although during the sayd five tydes the sayd master of the ''Imployment'' kept sixty men and upwards besides the company of the ''Imployment'' to pumpe her and endeavour to get her on shoare".

The rate at which the cole heavers and labourers were prepared to unload the ship's coals skyrocketed once the coal was wet. John Moor reported that "hee heard the sayd Master of her before the damage aforesayd happened saye that hee had sold the Coales on board the sayd shipp for twenty three pounds at tenn shillings a score, and had agreed with seaventeene labourers to unlade them at the rate, some of them, of 9 ''s'', some of 10 ''s'', and some of 12 ''s'' a man soe to unlade her, and hee saith that after the shipp ''Imployment'' was bilged and damaged as aaforesayd hee knoweth that the sayd labourers by reason the coales had receaved much water and that they were of necessitie to stand neere upon middle deepe in water to unlade them, did refuse to unlade them at the prices which the sayd Master had before agreed with them for, whereupon the sayd master in this deponents hearing and presence did for that there was a necessitie of lightening the sayd shipp of the sayd coales agree to give them some of them twenty fower shillings and others twenty six shillings a man, to unlade the same".<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.680v Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.680v]]</ref>
