Transcription

stayed there with the sayd horses and mare till about eleven or twelve
a clock at night, and noe body then coming, they all went away and left
the sayd fower horses and one more there tyed, and returned all to their
boate which they had left an other of the shipps company to looke to
while they went with the horses, and soe they all returned on board
the sayd Shipp according to Command, And further to this article
hee cannot depose./

To the 3 hee saith hee knoweth that in the sayd Shipps outward
bound voyage the arlate Viber was for a while Boatswaine
of her by appointment and order of the arlate Captaine Tottey and
as boatswaine did take charge of all goods laden aboard the sayd
shipp, And saith that in the downes of the sayd Viber and his Mate
Abraham deverin having imbezelled (as it after appeared) divers
goods from on board the sayd shipp did loose the shipps boate from
her sterne and ranne away therewith, which being discovered by
this deponents Contest John Watson hee presently gave notice thereof to
the rest of the shipps company where upon the sayd Watson and this
deponent and henry Turpin and others of the shipps company to the number
(in all) of about fowerteene or fifteene rowed after them in the
shipps longboate, and before they could get to shoare over tooke
them, and the sayd Watson and some others went into the boate which
Viber and his mate had taken and seized upon them, and rowed them back
to the sayd shipp, and left this deponent and some others to come after
with the longe boate, And hee saith that as this deponent and others
were coming back with the longe boate they espied something floate
upon the water and thought it had bin some Capp or hatt belonging to
some of the Company and made neerer to it, and
the foresayd John hunt one of the Company tooke it up, and being
taken up, it proved to bee a browne paper wherein were about
a dozen or fowerteene taffat hoodes for women wrapped up, which
the sayd Viber or his Mate (as the sayd Viber after confessed)
threw overboard when they sawe them selves soe closely persued and
the sayd Tottie being made acquainted therewith put the sayd
Viber by his Boatswaines place, but continued him still in the shipp
as a quarter Master till the shipps arrivall in the Barbados, where
hee suffered him to goe away without presenting the lawe against
him for the goods imbezelled and found wanting, and without any
satisfaction made for them that this deponenet ever heard or knew
of, And beleeveth that what other goods are imbezelled and missing were
imbezelled by the sayd Viber and his Mate, And further hee cannot
depose/

To the 4th hee saith hee was imployed at London about the shipps
busines with the shipps longboate when the servants arlate made
an escape and heard not the arlate Totty make any such promises
arlate and therefore cannot depose to this article nor knoweth whether
the shipps Company men chargeable with them or not./
