Edward Sprigs and his contest Henry Walter and others for the
unlading of a certayne shipp lyeing over against Lyme house
dock in the River of Thames being the shipp arlate commonly called
the ffortune of Statin which was then laden with wheat. And
saith the sayd wheat was then in a very perishing condition and
some of it actually perished, and that after the removall of about

and great quantityes of water were daily pumped out, and such
corne as lay neere the sayd port holes and in the bottom of the
hold next the mattes was quite perished and unfitt for any use
and indeed not fitt for hoggs, to the quanitty of about 12
quarters which was as he beleiveth throwne overboard. And this
deponent having bene a Corne porter for theis eight yeares now
past by the skill and experience he hath in wheat thereby knoweth
