To the first and second articles of the sayd libell hee saith and deposeth
that the arlate Gyles Travers in the moneth of January last was and is commonly reputed the true Owner and
Proprietor of certaine pipes of Canarie wines laden aboard the arlate
ship the John and Mary (William Webber arlate Master) And saith that in the
sayd moneth of January severall pipes of the sayd Canarie wines were laden from
on board the sayd ship John and Mary into and on board a certayne lighter whereof
the arlate Thomas Tayler was Master in which lighter the sayd wines
were carried to, and safely arrived at Bottolphs Wharfe, and there were
safely moored with a stronge and sufficient hawser, and there continued soe safely
moored from 10 of the clock at night till betwixt 5 and 6 of the next morning
the premises hee deposeth being on board the sayd lighter, and imployed
to helpe to watch and looke to the sayd wines while they were aboard the sayd
lighter, And further to these articles hee cannot depose./
To the 3: 4th 5th and 6th articles of the sayd libell hee saith and deposeth
that after the sayd Lighter laden with the sayd wines was soe moored at Buttolphs
Wharfe, a lighter of the burthen of about 80 tonnes whereof one Pomeroy
(as this deponent hath heard and beleeveth) was Master, which laye moored to a certaine shipp
at Buttolphs wharfe which laye on head of the sayd lighter soe laden with
wines as aforesaid, did unadvisedly and rashly veere (there being then
a very stronge tyde of ebbe) towards the sayd lighter soe laden
with wines, which hee this deponent and other Coopers on board the lighter
laden with wines perceiving, and fearing the sayd Pomeroys lighter would
fall fowle of the sayd lighter laden with wines as aforesaid and doe some
mischeife and preiudice thereto, did call out to the sayd Pomeroy and Company
and told him that there was a ladeing of wines on board the lighter hee
this deponent was in, and wished him to have a care of falling fowle of her
least they damaged her and her ladeing, which notwithstanding the sayd
Pomery and Company still veered nearer the sayd lighter and with all
gave this deponent and the rest of the Company of the sayd lighter laden
with wines evill and uncivill language, (but the partuculers thereof this deponent
remembreth not at present) alsoe continueing on their course in a willfull and carelesse manner fell fowle
first of the shipps boate whereto the lighter laden with wines was moored,
and split and sunke the sayd boate, and still continueing on their course by
the like willfullnes and neglect fell fowle of the sayd lighter wherein the
sayd wines were, and thereby brake her hawser
and put her a drift, by meanes whereof and by reason of the sayd Pomeroys
lighter falling soe violently fowle upon the lighter laden with wines
a pipe of Canarie wines in the sayd lighter worth 30 li sterling or thereabouts
was staved and utterly lost, which losse had not happened (as this deponent
beleeveth) if the sayd Pomerie had not through his negligence and willfullnes
fallen fowle with his lighter upon the sayd lighter laden with wines, the
premises hee deposeth for that hee was on board and eye wittnes [?XX]
as aforesaid imployed to looke to the sayd wines and thereby well observing
all the passages predeposed And further to these articles hee cannot depose
