To the Interrogatories [CENTRE HEADING]

To the first hee saith hee cometh to testifie at the request of the producent
Lee to whome hee is not of kinne and saith hee hath no interest in

To the 2 hee saith hee was on board the Samuell the tyme interrogate

and doe other worke according to Command and saith the dammage
predeposed of was done in the day tyme about eleven or twelve of the
Clock and further saving his foregoing deposition hee cannot

To the 3 hee saith that of his certayne knowledge the Samuells Company
did beare up imediatly upon the sayd Otters waving to them soe to doe
and soe tymely that Otter might have avoided comming fowle if
hee had not borne up with full sayle upon the Samuell as hee did
and by [?pretence] of this oath declare that in his Judgement the
Samuells Company were not any cause of the dammage aforesayd
but did observe the waste made to them by the sayd Otter and worked
accordingly but the sayd Otter bearing up after hee had waved
to the Samuell to beare up was to cause the shipps come fowle
and the dammage aforesayd happened And further saving his
