Caleb Burton of dover Merchant aged 34 yeares
or thereabouts sworne before the right Worshippfull
Charles George Cock Esquire, one of the Judges
of the high Court of the Admiraltie, saith
and deposeth by vertue of his oath.

That in the moneth of September 1653, a certaine vessell
named the Hopegood (whereof henry Sherwood was master) came
into Dover Peir, and there continued intill March next
following, and that during the time of such her being there, the
precontest Nathaniel Lansdon, (who was reputed Sopra=cargo of her
did severall times require and urge Isaac Bowles (who was put
master of her after her comming into dover Peir in place of the said
Sheward) to proceede on her voyage for hamborough, which request
and urging was donne by the said Mr Lansdon severall times in the
presence and hearing of this deponent at dover, And saith
when the said shipp was fitted (as was supposed) and
ready to proceede to sea, the said Bowles made excuse for[X GUTTER]
not proceeding because part of her Skey was beaten off, and
that that must be repaired before hee could proceede with her
and this hee saith was after the said shipp had bin above five
monethes in the said Peir; And saith that severall times before when and
when the said shipp (as the said Bowles avowyed) was ready to
goe to sea. and that the winde served, the said Bowles excused and
putt off his going, staying one while that her rudder was [XXX GUTTER]
and that shee must be haled ashore, and at other times hee made
other excuses, as that his men were prest away, and that hee
wanted a mate, and otherwise, albeit hee from time to time
pretended to be ready, and being requested by Mr Lansdon [?sXXX GUTTER]
to proceede, promised to goe to sea the next day, yet still when
time came hee would put it off with excuses, And saith [XXX GUTTER]
further that the said Lansdon during all the said time of the
shipps being in dover Peir (saving the time of an imbargo which GUTTER
lasted about a moneth) was constantly and continually in dover [XXX GUTTER]
and lodged neere the waters side, still attending the proceeding
of the said shipp to sea, and used all diligence for her proceeding
frequently
