Twenty-eight year old Robert Lillicrep deposed on November 15th 1654 in the High Court of Admiralty.[3] He was examined on an allegation on behalf of Robert Yaxley, George Blowers and Company in the case of "Robert Yaxley George Blowers, Arthur Blowers and Companie owners of the shipp the Mary of Alborough against the shipp the freeman, John Whitty master and her tackle and ffurniture and against Thomas Delabarr and other".[4]
Robert Lillicrep stated that he was "a person long accustomed to those voyages" and was of the opinion that "the shipp the Mary being a vessell of about sixescore tunns and constantly employed in the Newcastle trade, might very well, (if the miscarriage predeposed had not happened whereby shee hath been necessitated to stay to be repayred) have cleared upon an employment to Newcastle and back to London with coales in the time of her stay here about 60 li sterling to the owners besides the benefitt of about 10 li sterling to the Master which hee saith the said Master and owners have lost and are damnified by the meanes aforesaid".[5]
