made in the bilge of the ''Imployment'' but what they or the Carpenters had for their<br />
paines thereabouts hee knoweth not. And further hee cannot depose/
To the 15th hee saith that hee well knoweth that the ''Imployment'' was neere fully<br />
laden when shee receaved the damage and that by the sayd Anchor as aforesayd, shee<br />
having delivered little of her ladeing before the same happened And hee<br />
saith hee heard the sayd Master of her before the damage aforesayd happened saye that<br />
hee had sold the Coales on board the sayd shipp for twenty three<br />
pounds tenn shillings a score, and had agreed with seaventeene labourers to unlade them<br />
at the rate, some of them, of 9 ''s'', some of 10 ''s'', and some of 12 ''s'' a man soe to unlade<br />
her, and hee saith that after the shipp ''Imployment'' was bilged and damaged<br />
as aaforesayd hee knoweth that the sayd labourers by reason the coales had<br />
receaved much water and that they were of necessitie to stand neere upon middle<br />
deepe in water to unlade them, did refuse to unlade them at the prices which<br />
the sayd Master had before agreed with them for, whereupon the sayd<br />
master in this deponents hearing and presence did for that there was a necessitie<br />
of lightening the sayd shipp of the sayd coales agree to give them some of them<br />
twenty fower shillings and others twenty six shillings a man, to unlade the<br />
same And further to this article hee cannot depose./

a Collyer (which hath bin for these fifteene or sixteene yeares last past)<br />
that it hath bin the use and custome of Newcastle shipps to measure out their<br />
Coales on shippboard And saith that by reason of the samage predeposed<br />
hee knoweth the Master was forced to make all the speede hee could to<br />
heave the Coales from aboard the sayd shipp into lighters and carry them on shoare without measuring<br />
them on shippboard And hee this deponent is well assured by reason of<br />
the wett the sayd coales had receaved and the heaveing them out at the port<br />
holes into lighters there could not chuse but bee much losse as to the<br />
quantitie of the sayd shipps ladeing, And further hee cannot depose/
To the 17th hee saith hee well knoweth, that a barrell and a halfe of<br />
powder aboard the ''Imployment'' and belonging to the Owners of her was by the wett receaved by the sayd<br />
leake utterly spoiled but as to the value thereof hee cannot depose./
To 18th hee saith hee knoweth that by reason of the damage aforesayd<br />
the ''Imployment'' did loose a weekes tyme at least, and was deteyned<br />
longer than shee needed to have bin if the sayd damage gad not happened<br />
by at least a weeke, in which tyme (if winde and weather serve) shee<br />
might in probability have made halfe a voyage to Newcastle, And<br />
further hee cannot answere saving hee beleeveth her Owners are<br />
damaged by the sayd stay but to what value hee knoweth not./
