further hee saith hee cannot depose./

To the 8th Article of the said Allegation hee saith That the said french Officers and
Companie who were as aforesaid putt on board the said shipp Endeavour immediately
after her said surprizall did declare and affirme to this deponent that the said french
shipps were ordered and designed to goe for Lisbone in Portugall to have taken
in their provision of wynes, from which designe they had bin diverted bye
crosse and contrary wind and weather soe that they were necessitated to sayle
towards the Canaries, where they expected to meet with shipps laden with
wynes whereby they might be furnished and accomodated with the Commodity
or words to that or the like effect And further hee cannot depose./

To the 9th Article hee saith That at or about the time of the surprizall and taking up the
said shipp Endeavour the said La Roche his Companie did take away and
plunder from this deponent and the rest of the said shipp Endeavours Companie of the
greatest part of their wearing apparrell together with all their Sea Instruments

with others of his Companie And further cannot depose./

To the 10th hee saith That the said shipp the Endeavour at the time of such her
surprizall and taking was really worth the summe of Two Thousand Five
hundred pounds or thereabouts in this deponents judgement shee being a shipp of about two hundred tunne
about five yeares old, having aboard her 16. peeces of Ordnance, and being every
way very well fitted and furnished with tackle apparrell and all manner of
necessaries, and that the Companies wages did and doe amount to about fower

cannot depose./

To the 11th hee saith That the said Three hundred and thirteen pypes of
wyne were really worth, and would have yeilded at this Port of London
Thirty pounds per pipe cleare of all charges in case they had there safely

1655. produced, and soe much wynes of the sort did yeild at and in this City of
London at or about the time of the said surprizall. The premises hee declareth
upon the grounds of knowledge predeposed, and by and upon the credible and constant
