out such water as shee had receaved and soe went ashoare and left her lying
by the sayd shipps side with the goods controverd in her, And

belonging to the sayd lighter with their scoope in the evening the plug

which meanes the goods controverted were wett and damnified, for this
deponent and others of the sayd shipps Company early in the morning sawe
and found that the sayd lighter was almost full of water to the great damage
of the goods in her which being perceived the sayd shipps Company did heave [?out]
the water that was in her and there found that her plugg hole was open, by
reason of which (as this deponent verily beleeveth and is perswaded in his
conscience the damage Controverted happened, And further hee cannot
