The 8th of November 1656.

The Widowe and heires of Rasmus}
Rasmusson against John Southwood.}

Exámined upon the foresaid allegation.

dt. [?Limks]

4.

Henry Blackborow of Wapping Marchant
aged 33 yeeres or thereabouts, sworne and exámined.

To the third árticle of the said allegation (upon which alone hee is
by direction of the producent exámined) hee saith and
deposeth That the arlate Edward Lander (sometime before the
arival of the Justice arlate) retourning to this citie from Berghen
in Norway, and having occasion shortly after to goe to Bristol, told
this deponent that hee had freighted
the said shipp the Justice at Berghen to bring
goods thense hether, and did expect her arivall, and desired
this deponent upon her arivall, to send him downe word to
Bristol, which this deponent accordingly did by letter,
written by this deponent and sent away about
eight dayes after such arivall of the said shipp, And saith that
Mr Lander comming to towne and meeting with this deponent
told him, that Mr Southwood (speaking of John Southwood
partie in this suite) had not written to the said Mr Lander
of the said shipps arivall - till after this deponents writing
(which was not till eight dayes after the said shipps arivall
as aforesaid) and that this deponents letter was the first
which then hee had of the shipps comming; and that further
that mr Southwood had received the goods or most part thereof
before the said Landers comming up, and for his part hee [?would GUTTER]
not meddle with them, for hee was but a factor in the said
cargo, for Alderman hooke and the said mr Southwood, and
severall times before the said Lannders going hense for Norway
the said voyage wherein hee laded the said goods aboard the Justice
hee told this deponent that hee was going the same only as
factor to the said Alderman and mr Southwood aforesaid
And this deponent verily beleeveth that hee was only a factor
therein, and that the said Southwood received the said goods for
account of himselfe and mr Alderman hooke, and [?nothing GUTTER]
thereof for the said Lannders account, and therefore hee
ought (as this deponent conceiveth) to pay the freight for
transportation thereof. And for the further manifestation of
the said Southwoods proprietie, hee saith that mr Southwood had
sold severall parcells of the said goods to severall persons, and
that at such time as mr Lannder was here, who left the
businesse and did not meddle therein, namely the said Southwood
sold tarr to mr Greene, and Timber and deales to [?Mr GUTTER]
Morris, which goods came out of the said shipp. And otherwise hee
cannot depose.

To the Interrogatories in the first place. [CENTRE HEADING]

To the 7th and 8th of the said Interrogatories hee saith hee cannot answer

To the rest not exámined by the ministrands direction.

To the Interrogatories in the second place. [CENTRE HEADING]

To the first hee saith hee well knoweth the Interrate John Southwood

[FOLLOWING TEXT VERTICAL IN LH MARGIN]
and hath soe donne about two yeares, and saith hee did not see Mr Southwood receave any of the goods in question and otherwise
hee cannot answer saving as aforesaid.

To the second hee saith hee knoweth nothing thereof, and therefore cannot answer thereto.

To the third negatively for his part, and otherwise cannot depose.

To the fourth hee saith hee knoweth the said Launders, and for his part hee answereth negatively saving his
foregoing deposition, and saving the same hee cannot depose.

To the fifth hee saith hee knoweth the interrate Peter Johnson who as hee saith hee came to this deponent
with a note from mr Lemkuel, whereby mr Lemkuel wrote to this deponent to come and be sworne to speake
the truth in this matter, and otherwise negatively for his part, and further cannot answer.
