Transcription

And fasten their roapes thereto and ride thereby for one tyde
provided they vere and make way for goods to come aboard the
outward bound shipp if occasion serves, and saith if the shipp soe
making fast doe not vere and make way for the outward bound shipp to
take in such ladeing as cometh while the other shipp is soe made fast to her
by the Custome aforesayd the outward bound shipp may recover such damage
of the shipp soe fastening to her as shee is put to for the tyme the goods
to be taken in are soe hindered And this hath hee knowne to bee the Custome
for the most part of the tyme hee this deponent was a waterman videlicit for these 20 yeares last and hath
heard it hath bin the Custome of the sayd River in that case tyme out of
memory of men now living, and saith hee hath found the same often
done and remembereth about a yeare since hee sawe some of the Company of the shipp the
Planter (being then come laden from Virginia) goe aboard and fasten upon the shipp the
Loyalty shee then lying at the middle chayne at Lymehouse (Captain Limbre then Commander of her) without the leave and
good likeing of the sayd Captaine and his Company this hee knoweth for
that hee sawe the same done, and sawe and observed the botswaine of the Loyalty to be
much offended thereat
And saith hee hath knowne the like done by divers
other shipps but remembereth not at present the names of the shipps or
their Commanders or the place where or tyme when, but well knoweth
it is a usuall thing for shipps soe to doe And further to this Interrogatorie hee
cannot answere.

To the 6th Interrogatorie hee saith saving his deposition to the second third and 4th articles of the allegation to which hee referreth hee cannot answere./

To the 7th hee saith the hawser of the Exeter Merchant which was fastened
to the Cable of the ffrancis and Mary was made fast thereto after the
Interrogate Thomas Smith had forbidd the sayd Woodfins company to fasten
any hawser to his shipp the ffrancis and Mary And further hee cannot
answere./

To the 8th hee saith that at the tyme Interrogate the Exeter Merchants company could
not (as hee beleeveth) if they would have brought her safely to an Anchor
in any other parts of the Thames beside the lower chayne at Lymehous
for that shee came thither iust upon the topp of a tyde very little
before ebbing water soe that shee had noe better way at present to prevent danger
to her selfe and ladeing than to fasten to the ffrancis and Mary, as
this deponent verily beleeveth, And saith other shipps did then lye safe
in other places of the River of Thames besides the lower chayne at
Lymehouse but hee beleeveth they came to their places where they soe lay before
the tyde or ffludd was soe much spent as it was when the Exeter Merchant came to the
Lower chayne at Lymehouse And further to this Interrogatorie hee cannot answere/

To the 9th hee saith the Exeter Merchant came on the outside of the
ffrancis and Mary And further saving his foregoing deposition hee cannot
answere./
