Transcription

voyage at haver de Grace upon the said deliverie, being two and
twenty hundred gilders, and average according to the custome of the sea,
and primage after 2 stivers in the gilder, and foure and twenty gilders
for a new hatt for this deponent the mastewr, and that hee that should
receive the said fish was to pay the said freight and other duties,
and that hee this deponent hath not as yet received ought thereof.

To the sixth hee saith that his bill of lading and Charterpartie were as
aforesaid sent over land, and that his seabrief and all other papers which
hee had aboard came to the hands of Captaine Gittens that seized
him, saving two little scrowles, one being an accompt of his stiersman
for the said lading of fish (no. 1.) and the other (no. 2.) being the accompt
of the cost of the said fish laden by this deponent and companie
for their owne accompt, the said cost amounting to 478 gilders, both
which hee leaveth for the further information of this Court, and saith
there were not any papers burnt, torne or otherwise made away.
And otherwise hee cannot depose, saving that tis likely there may
be two or three hundred lesse of the marchants fish than that
accompt mentioneth (as his stiersman saith) such a mistake
easily happening in the tale of such greate a number. And
otherwise hee cannot depose, saying hee doth not knowe that there
are fewer fish for the marchants accompt then 35000, only
his folkes and the Captaine and company have eaten some thereof.

Repeated before doctor Godolphin and Collonel Cock.
