Transcription

Instruments, and the heat thereof was soe excessive and the stench thereof is
noysome and stifeling that this deponent and the rest of his felloe
Labourers in the hold were forced to putt off their garments and worke
naked, and the one of the sayd Labourers by the sayd noysome heat and stench
videlicet Edward Spaiggs arlate grew distemoered fell sick and dyed
of his sicknes and distemper then gott, and one Robert Brockett one
other of the Labourers gott by the same meanesa shrewd distemper
which hath continued upon him and made him weake listles and
unfitt for hard labor ever since, and severall others of the sayd
Labourers receyved much hhurt and preiudice in their health and some
were forced to leave the worke before it was finished. And saith
the sayd vessell was very leaky so as 2 men during the whole
tyme of her such unlading were imployed att the pumpe constantly
And the wheat neere the port holes and att the bottome next the matts
to the quantity five quarters att the least was all crusted black and
so noysome and wholly perished that it was nott fitt for any use
noe not for hoggs, nor any way worth the carrying away
but was as an uselesse thing throwne and cast over board: And
saith in case the sayd corne had not bene removed but had continued
in the sayd shipp by the space of 16. or 20 dayes longer the
same would in all probability have all of it bene rendred uselesse
and have utterly bene perished and in great danger to have
taken fire and consumed itselfe and the sayd shipp the heat
thereof was soe excessive, All which he knoweth having bene
for theis 6. yeares last past a Cornemeter and beinge Imployed
in the foresayd worke from the beginning to the end thereof by the Commissioners for prize goods
as were allso his Contests Richard Staples and John Natshaw
for part of the sayd tyme being froced to leave the worke before
it was finished by the heat and stench aforesayd And further cannot depose./

To the eighth article of the sayd allegation This deponent saith that the foresayd
Commissioners did by removing the sayd wheat into Granaries, and dressing
and skraeneing use their best endeavours and diligence to care the
same and make it merchantable. And he hath heard that Justice
Vincent of Peckham bought the same of the sayd Commissioners and is
like to be a looser by it. and otherwise cannot depose.

To the nynth article of the sayd allegation This deponent saith, he cannot
depose.

To the tenth article of the sayd allegation This deponent saith that by reason
of the present great plenty of Corne in England good sound
wheat undamnifyed is usually bought and sold att present in and
about London for 20 s per the quarter, and in other places att
distance from London as hee hath heard and beleiveth att cheaper
and easyer rates. And otherwise cannot depose./

To the Crosse Interrogatories.

To the .1. he saith he hath for theis .2. or three yeares past wrought for
the Commissioners of prize goods in Corne shipps, according as corne prizes came
in to be unladen, and saith the foresayd shipp fortune was the last shipp
he wrought upon for the sayd Commissioners and the names of the rest he hath forgotten
and
