And saith the said Allert huberts received the said number of deales
aboard his said shipp, and undertooke and promised to carry and
deliver the same at Waterford aforesaid, and set saile thence with
his said shipp and the said deale boards therein, this deponent seeing
him soe sett saile, and looking after till the said shipp came about
a league off at sea. But saith the said huyberts proved soe
unfaithfull, that in stead of Waterford hee carried the said shpp and
deales to Boston in lincolne shire, and there disposed thereof, for hee
saith that this deponent being advertized of such miscarriage of the
said master, and ordered by letters to goe and looke after him and the said deales,
this deponent departed from Lerwick in a shipp bound for London, which
put him ashore at dunwich, whence hee rode to Boston, where hee
arived about a fortnight since, and there found the said shipp the
Golden Wine fatt lying at a Sluce called the Goate
where hee went round her and viewed and knew her to bee the same
and there this deponent understood that the arlate John Ellis, John
Atkins, Thomas Cheyney and Elisha kell had gutten the said deale
boards into their custody from the said master, and that the said master
having gotten some money there upon his shipp and
goods, had quitted the same, and was run or gonne away, And
otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the third article hee saith that this deponent after such his arivall
at Boston and making in quirie into the said busines, heard it there said
and affirmed by severall persons that the said Ellis, Atkins, [?Cheyney]
amd kell were informed and told by divers, that the said deales were
belonging to the said Mr Smith, and that the said master had nothing to
doe to dispose thereof, but was to carry them to Waterford to be delivered
for the said Mr Smiths account, and further tere heard that they
paid or gave the said master a summe of money very
inconsiderable and nothing answering the rates of the said shipp and lading,
[?yet] soe inconsiderable a summe then they could not but be convinced that the
said master had noe power to sell the said shipp and lading, but would get
what hee could for the same of any that would be soe dishonest as to buy
them, and soe run away. And further deposeth not.

To the fourth hee saith that the said eight thousand six hundred sixtie
and three deale boards were well worth the summe of seven pounds
sterling per hundred (on hundred with another) and rateably for a lesse
quantitie) or thereabouts at Boston aforesaid at such timme as the said Ellis, Atkins,
Cheyney and kell got the same there into their possession, as this deponent
understood there, and as it was there commonly said by persons there
knowing as that commoditie, with whom this deponent had
conference about the valew thereof at that time and place. And
soe much hee saith they would have yeelded at Waterford if they had
bin carried thither and arived there in November, december, or
January last, and saith that as hee heard the said shipp arived at
Boston on or about the one and twentith of November last and that the
said Ellis, Atkins Cheyney and kell got the said shipp and lading of
deales into their possession, presently upon the said arivall, and
might there have sold the said deales at or after the rate aforesaid. And
saith the said shipp, tackle, furniture and necessaries were commonly
said and esteamed to be at the time of such comming to Boston worth about
foure hundred pounds sterling. And further to this article hee deposeth not
