To the first second third fourth fifth sixth seaventh eighth ninth tenth<br />
and eleventh articles of the allegation hee cannot depose/
To the twelfth article of the sayd allegation hee saith that hee hath bin a<br />
trader for tobaccoe to Virginia these fifteene yeares last or upwards<br />
and thereby knoweth that if shipps came not thither to receave their ladeing<br />
of tobacco by or before the middle of March in any yeare the Inhabitants of<br />
Virginia and such as have tobaccoe to send from thense for England doe<br />
usually then give over any expectation of shipps their arrival there from<br />
England that yeare, and therefore usually after the middle of<br />
March is once past send their tobaccoes for England by any ship after that,<br />
and if noe shipps<br />
bee present then they doe usually barter away for a quantitie of<br />
tobaccoe to be given them the next harvest, or else for other Commodities,<br />
or else send it for New England or other places, which they soe doe in<br />
regard that tobaccoe is in Virginia a very perishing Commoditie by<br />
reason of the heate of that Country in summer tyme in soe much that<br />
of this deponents knowledge it will not keepe from one harvest to an<br />
other and is therefore usually disposed of if possible by the middle<br />
of March at furthest next after the growth thereof And hee this deponent<br />
having some yeares tobaccoes (which for want of<br />
shipping Comming in convenient tyme have not bin sent for England but<br />
kept in Virginia till the next yeare after their growth, well knoweth that the<br />
sayd Tobaccoes have by being soe kept bin rendered of little of<br />
or noe value And further to this article hee cannot depose/
To the 13th hee saith that hee this deponent was in the moneth of October<br />
1654 in the downes on board the ship the ''Crescent'' of which<br />
Captaine Thomas Thurrowgood was master of the sayd ship being then bound for Virginia<br />
and saith at the same tyme the ''James'' of London the ''Goulden Lyon''<br />
the ''Seaven Sisters'' and the ''John and Katherine'' with severall other shipps<br />
all then bound for Virginia, laye then in the downes, and this deponent saw<br />
them all sett sayle from there in the sayd moneth of October 1654,<br />
And as hee hath heard and beleeveth they arrived in Virginia as in the<br />
moneth of January or ffebruary next following and as hee hath<br />
heard and beleveeth returned there without any dead freight And soe<br />
hee beleeveth might the arlate Ewers if hee had arrived in Virginia<br />
soe some that yeare as they did And further hee cannot depose./
To the 14th article of the sayd allegation hee saith that hee this deponent<br />
and some others as one Arthur Bayly and Mr Kent and others had in the<br />
