Transcription

To the 20th Interrogatorie hee saith hee sawe divers goods which came
out of both the shipps William and Thomas and Mary Rose weighed at Porto fferrara
and sawe divers of the same goods at their arrivall at Legorne weighed againe
there and well remembreth that they were found to weigh more at Legorne then
they weighed at Porto fferrara And saith there is much deceipt many tymes used
in parts beyond the seas in weighing of goods, and hee hath observed that the weighers
doe usually favour the factors in weighing And further hee cannot answere/

To the 21th hee saith that in his Judgment there will bee of necessitie wast
in galls in the ladeing and unladeing though none of them bee stolne by the shipps
|Company for that there is usually dust amongst them for that if they be shott
loose into the shipp out of their baggs the losse will be the greater, but whether they
bee shott or not shott there will bee some losse in them, And as to Cotton wools
hee beleeveth there can bee little or noe losse therein if it bee not imbeziled by
the shipps Company And further hee cannot answere./

To the 22th Interrogatorie hee saith hee never was at Cyprus nor Scanderoone, And
saith hee this rendent thinketh it a hard and unequall thing that a Master of a shipp
receiving in his goods by tale should be forced to dliver them by weight
and to make them good in case they fall short of the weight of them expressed
in the ffactory And further to this Interrogatorie hee cannot answere/

To the 23th hee saith that Cottons are usuall in the streights steeved soe hard
as that it is impossible to get them out without tearing some of the baggs and saith
it is customary for the owners of such goods as Cottons and galls when a ship
arriveth at her designed port, (upon notice given) to send Canvas and twine
to make new baggs or mend the old And further hee cannot answere/

To the 24th hee saith hee hath satisfied the contents thereof in his answere
to the 10th Interrogatorie to which hee referreth And further hee cannot answere/

Upon the rest hee is not examined by the direction of the party ministrant/

Repeated before doctor Clerke/
