the rate they had formerly agreed with him for, for that the coales were
very wett and they must stand deepe in water to worke upon them or words
to that effect, but what the sayd Master paid for their worke hee knoweth
not nor what their first agreement was but hath heard the sayd labourers
some of them saye that by their first agreement they who wrought in hold were
to have 14 s a man and they who wrought between decks and at the falt
9 s a man And further to this article hee cannot depose./
To the 16th hee saith that for these 15 yeares last (during which tyme or the most part thereof hee
hath used the trade of a Collyer from Newcastle) hee hath observed that
Newcastle shipps doe usually and constantly measure out their coales on
shipp board, And saith that by reason of the dammage aforesayd the
coales were soe wett that the Master and Company of the Imployment for
speedier cleereing of their sayd shipp and easeing her of her ladeing to
prevent further dammage which might happen thereby were forced to cause
her ladeing of coles then on board to be heaved out at the
portholes and carried on shoare un lighters without
being measured on shipp board, and beleeveth that by reason of the wett
received the sayd Coales could not chuse but arise to a lessse number
of chalderons, then they would have done if the sayd dammage had not
happened And further hee cannot depose./
To the 17th hee saith hee knoweth that by reason of the leake arlate a
barrell and a halfe of powder belonging to the owners of tghe sayd shipp
and then aboard, was utterly spoiled, And further hee cannot depose
not knowing the rates of such commodities and therefore cannot value the same/
To the 18th hee saith hee well knoweth that by reason of the damage
aforesayd the shipp Imployment did loose at least a weejes
tyme of her imployment, wherein (the winde and weather favouring)
shee might have performed about halfe a voyage to Newcastle,
whereby her owners were damnified but to what value hee
knoweth not And further hee cannot depose./
To the 19th hee saith that all the dammage predeposed happened
to the Imployment by her resting upon the Anchor of the James and
Martin, which hee the better knoweeth for that hee helped to under runne
the Cable of the James and Maartin at a lowe tyde after the dammage
receaved and under runne it soe farr as till hee could feele the stock
of her Anchor with an Oare, and saith the sayd dammage was occasioned
meerely by the neglect and fault of the Master and Company of the
James and Martin aforesayd, and their lying at Anchor as aforesayd
without a boy, and alongst the River partly water shott, And further saving
his foregoeing deposition hee cannot depose/
