Transcription

constantly about three score hyred men (beside his owne company and other
freinds who laboured gratis thereabout) labouring at he two pumps and bayleing
and whipping up water to keepe her froms sinkeing and to endeavour the getting her
on shoare) Abd this deponent verily beleeveth and is perswaded in his
conscience that it could not cost the Master of the Imployment lesse nor did
cost him lesse then five pounds sterling a tyde for every of the sayd five
tydes to thise labourers soe hyred And further to these articles hee
cannot depose./

To the 13th hee saith that the shipp Imployment is of the burthen of
thre ehundred tonnes or thereabouts, and for that hee hath belonged to her
for these 6 or 9 moneths last past hee well knoweth that before her setting
or falling upon the Anchor of the James and Martin shee was a stronge tight
shipp And hee saith that having happened that disaster shee was alsoe
by her hawling a shoare to have the same leake mended (shee having
a greatest part of her ladeing aboard her and much water in her which
made her very heavie) unavoidably much strayned and weakened
and much of her tymeber worke broken, soe that in this deponents Judgment
and estimate it wil cost her owners at the least twenty pounds sterling
to make her in soe good condition as shee was before shee receaved
the damage aforesayd by sitting on sayd Anchor of the James and Martin
And further hee cannot depose saving hee saith if the Imployment
had not bin a stronge shipp her dammage would have bin farr greater
then it is, and that if shee had sunke in the middst of the river (shee
having the greatest part of her ladeing on board) the weighing of her
up would have bin very chargeable/

To the 14th hee saith that hee was present when the Master of the Imploy
ment did agree with certaine labourers to give them twenty shillings
to digg and make way for Carpenters to stopp the leake in her bilge
caused by the Anchor aforesayd, and beleeveth hee payd them soe much, And
what hee paid to the Carpenter for stopping the sayd leake hee knoweth
not And further hee cannot depose/

To the 15th hee saith when the damage predeposed of happened to the Imploy
ment, shee had the greatest part of her ladeing on board wheich consisted
of Coles, And saith before the dammmage aforesayd happened hee heard
the Master of the Imployment say that hee had sold the Coales aboard
for twenty three pounds tenn shillings a score, and had hyred labourers
to unlade her, And saith that after the dammage aforesayd happened
the sayd labourers (although they wrought the day before upon deliverie
of some of the Coales aboard) refused (of this deponents knowledge)
to worke any longer upon them at the rate the Master agreed with them for,
and told him in this deponents presence that they would not worke upon them at
the
