 Prydyth was sent aboard the ''Oporto Merchant'' by Mr Bence to "view the stowage of the sugars in question". Prydyth observed "that the water that lay above the kilson of the shipp and in the dennage under the sayd chest" and heard members of the ship's company say that "the reason why soe much water was in the sayd shipp was for that a pype of oyle was staved at the ladeing of the shipp which oyle (as they sayd) leaked out and came amongst the ballast and dennage of the sayd shipp and thereby choaked the shipps pumpe that it could not voide the water soe well as otherwise it would have done". Prydyth ordered the disputed fifteen chests of sugar to be removed and "did observe that the water lay then among the dennage above the killson or plumbes of the shipp in the hold in puddles, and there continued after the sayd sugars were removed from their dennage."<ref>[[HCA 13/72 f.293v Annotate|HCA 13/72 f.293v]]</ref>
-Prydyth observed that "the fifteene chests of sugar aforesayd or the most of them were stowed abaft the mast and all of them in the ground tyre, and this deponent observed that they that lay neerest the pumpe by the mast were most damnified, soe that it was evident that the dammage which happened to them came by the water that was in the sayd shipp, which as the sayd seamen sayd could not be pumped out by reason the pumpe was choaked in manner aforesayd." Moreover, "the covers of all the fifteene chests were drye, but that divers of them were wett five or sixe inches deepe toward the bottome, soe that the dammage happened only in the bottoms of them by reason of the water aforesayd And saith that hee this deponent beleeveth that all the rest of the sayd shipps ladeing, which lay above the sugar in question were dry and well conditioned for that hee knew divers of their Owners and heard none of them complayne of any damage." The view of members of the ship's company who unloaded the sugar was that the damage amounted to £5 per chest of sugar for the fifteen chests in question.  According to Prydyth, Mr Bence requested Joseph Careswell to inspect the sugars or to send a man to do so and " the sayd sugars were kept at Chesters Key in a warehouse above a weeke at the charge of the sayd Bence in expectation of the sayd Careswells coming to view them <ref>[[HCA 13/72 f.294r Annotate|HCA 13/72 f.294r]]</ref>

 Prydyth stated that his observation of the sugar in the ''Oporto Merchant'' took place between December 18th and 23rd 1657. He added that "it is usuall for sugars to bee weighed by the officers of the Custome house when they are landed and therefore beleeveth there could noe losse or dammage happen to the sayd sugars after their unladeing for that hee knoweth they were brought ashoare the same day they were unladen and that one John the servant of Mr ffowler a Cooper (imployed to that purpose) came with them in the lighter."<ref>[[HCA 13/72 f.294v Annotate|HCA 13/72 f.294v]]</ref> The Mr Fowler named by Lewis Prydyth would have been [[Alexander Fowler]], a winecooper of Saint Olave Hart Street, who worked for Alexander Bence, and the servant John would have been [[John Tuffley]].
