To the 8th. Interrogatory he saith. the sayd hoy ''Primrose'' was not a packet boat, but was a vessell imployed for trade betwixt this Port and Ipswich att a freight certayne for goods putt on board her. and accordingly the sayd Complayne was to have payd for his goods. and would have done as hee doth beleive. And he saith It is true there was an Embargo or stay of all shipps by order of State att such tyme as he went with the sayd hoy for Ipswich out of this River of Thames: and that he, (the sayd Order notwithstanding) not having victuall sufficient to stay till the sayd Embargo was ended, did in the night tyme gett out of this River with the sayd hoy and goods in her. but there was not any shott att all made at or after him from the Blockhowses so farr as hee heard.

And otherwise he cannot answer. To the 10th Interrogatory he saith the sayd hoy the tyme interrate wanted neither sayle nor tackle, but was able and sufficient and that he never did complayne of want of sayles or tackle to his owners nor any of them having noe cause so to doe. and referring himselfe to his foregoeing depositions answereth negatively to this Interrogatory and every part thereof.
