Transcription

To the sixth article he deposeth that the shipp the
Desire was rendred soe unfitt to make any voyage by
reason of the Sisters running aboard her that noe man
would venture in her untill she was repayred, and
that during the time she was in repayre of the
damages she received by the Sisters she might (as he
beleiveth) have made a voyage, which voyage (had
not the said shipp been in repayring) might have
bin worth to the said Jackson and Company 20 li
and upwards, And further he cannot depose.

To the last he saith his former deposition is true.

The marke of G Christopher Gryne [MARKE, RH SIDE]

*******************************************************

On the 22th of September 1655.

3)

Thomas Jackson of South Shields in the
County of Durham Mariner where he hath lived
about fower yeares last past, aged about 26
yeares, a wittnes, produced and sworne and being
examined deposeth as followeth.

To the first article of the allegation he deposeth and saith
That he the deponent was One of the arlate shipp the
Desire her Company when (which was on or about the
fourth day of february last) she was bound in for
Tinmouth haven, and that she being come a little within
the barr of the said haven, she could not possibly gett
further by reason of crosse and contrary winds, and that
therupon the Master and Company of her were forced
to cast anchor, and did cast anchor there to ride there untill
the wind showld fitt for her comming into the said haven/
The premisses he deposeth for that he was aboard her all the
said time being a ffore=Mast man of the said shipp, and
therby well knew what he hath predeposed And further
he cannot depose.

To the second articler he deposeth and saith that the place
where the said shipp the Desire did lye at anchor, is the
usuall place for ships to lye at anchor and ride when
they cannot gett further in by reason of contrary winds, The
which the deponent well knoweth aving many times before
the time arlate layn there when contrary winds [?letted] from
getting into the haven, And that the said place where the
said Desire did ride was a very fitting and convenient place,
and that she did soe ride that there was roome enough for
shipps (as many did) to sayle by her either a head or
asterne of her without comming to neere to her, The
premisses he deposeth because that he being aboard he did see
divers shipps to passe by the Desire both ahead and
asterne of her in the very same tide before the arlate
shipp the Sisters did fall foule of the Desire, and
that the said shipps he the deponent saw soe passe by the
Desire did not come neere her to have in the least wise
hazarded or endangered her And further he cannot depose
