Transcription

that the sayd wheat in 3 weekes or a month longer if it had not
bene removed out of the sayd shipp would in probability have
bene utterly perished and in danger to take fire by its owne
heat and thereby have consumed itselfe and the foresayd shipp
And otherwise cannot depose.

To the 8 and 9th articles he saith he knoweth not whether the wheat
in question were sold by the Candle or what that manner of sale
is, but saith he hath heard that Justice Vincent bought all
or most of the wheat of the ffortune and he hath heard he
hath overbought it and is like to be a greate looser by it
and incase he have payd att the rate of 19 li 10 s by the
store of quarters for the same as this deponent hath heard he
hath payd, corne being now so good and good cheape in
England he must of necessity by this deponents skill in corne
be a great looser thereby. And othewise cannot depose saving
that the sayd Commissioners used their best diligence to recover the
sayd wheat into as good and saleable a condition as it might
or could be brought into after so great dammage done to it by
the leakines of the sayd ship and heat thereof as aforesayd.

To the tenth article of the sayd allegation This deponent saith that of his
certayne knowledge good sound undamnifyed merchantable
wheat is commonly now sould in London for 20 s the quarter
and at other places in England as this deponent hath heard
and beleiveth the like sound wheat is commonly bought and sild
in open marketts att easyer rates by reason of the great plenty
of good corne in England att this present. And otherwise cannot
depose.
