them, where they would bee, and that the Master of her
or one of her Company then aboard her answered this
deponent that they would be aboard her the said shipp the
Desire, and that the sayd shipp the Sisters did willfully
and purposely (for he saith they might easily have prevented
it) came firectly aboard the said shipp the Desire
and therby brake downe her quarter, and her missen Mast,
and three beames in the hould wherof onne was the maine
beame, and did alsoe (by reason of her violent running upon
the said shipp the Desire) runne her Anchor into the
sides of the Desire, and that by meanes therof the desire
received three or fower foote water in her hould, and that
without doubt had not the said shipp the Desire bene
a strong and tight shipp, and had not the Company
of her bin very diligent in breaking downe her [?seelin]
and stopping her leakes (which the Sisters her Anchor
had made) with beefe she and all her Company had
beene sunck and drowned The premisses he deposeth and
well knoweth being aboard the said shipp the Desire
all the time And further he cannot depose./

To the fourth article, he deposeth and saith that the arlate
shipp the Desire lying at Anchor as is predeposed, and
the shipp the Sisters comming out right before the wind,
the Desire could not avoyde nor [?XXXX] her being
runn over by the Sisters, but the Sisters might with a great
deale of ease (if she had pleased) have avoyded running ober
the Desire And further he cannot depose.

To the fifth and sixth articles he deposeth and saith
that of the deponents certaine knowledge, who hath belonged
to the arlate shipp the Desire for theise two yeares last past
she was a strong and tight shipp before she
received the samage by and from the shipp the Sisters,
and that she had made but one voyage since she came out
of the Carpenters hands, in repayring wherof there was
(as he beleiveth) about 50 li bestowed upon her, and that
Let it cost what it will, the said shipp was soe shaken
by the Sisters violent running upon her that she will
never be soe good a shipp as she was before the dammage
happened unto her by the said Sisters, and that by the said
dammage or hurt she soe receaved the arlate Jackson and
Company lost that voyage, wherby they were at least
dammaged twenty pounds, And that the reparation of
the damages she sustaynmed by the said shipp the Sisters in
running aboard her (as is predeposed) cost the said Jackson
and Company about thirteene pounds sterling, And
he further deposeth that the said shipp the Desire
was soe much shaken by the said shipp the Sisters that he
esteemeth her as allmost past service, and that therfore
he guesseth that she is lesse worth then she was before the
damage happened unto her by the Sisters nigh upon 100 li
And further he cannot depose.

Tpo the last he saith his former deposition is true./
