which hath bin for these 15 yeares last past or thereabouts that shipps doe usually ride
at Anchor in any river with a boye fastned thereto and beleeveth and hath heard that if they doe ride at
Anchor without a boy they are punishable for the same and liable to make good what dammage

Thames ride with their Cables crosse the river and not alonge the streame and
hath heard and beleeveth they sought soe to doe, And saith hee well remembreth
that at such tyme as the Imployment receaved the damage in question by sitting upon
