To the Interrogatories [CENTRE HEADING]
To the first and second Interrogatories hee saith hee was none of the Company
of the shipp dolphin the voyage in question nor helped to take in any of her
ladeing nor did see her fully laden with goods nor sawe her ladeing
delivered out but only measured her as aforesayd at the request of her
owners And further hee cannot answere./
To the 3 and 4th hee saith the sayd shipp was measured at the request
of Bartholmew Collier one of the Owners and of John Soly the master who
desyred the same to be measured in behalfe of them selves and the rest of the
Owners and saith the same was twice measured vicelicet once not long before the 14th of
October aforesayd and saith the same was first soe measured by John Wadmore and
Nathaniell Westland shippwrights servants of this deponent who
tooke the dementions of the same from them and upon casting up thereof found her to bee in tonnage
soe much as is predeposed, and saith that afterwards vicelicet after the sayd Wadmore
and Westland had soe measured her by rule, this deponent and his sayd Contests
Obee and Yethebridge did upon the sayd 14th of October 1656 at the request
of the sayd Collyer and Soly measure her againe by hoopes and staves
and found her her by that way of measuring alsoe to be able to carrie
the burthen of three hundred fifty odd tonnes And hee this deponent
is by such his measureing able to depose and doth depose that the sayd shipp
is able to carrie three hundred fifty odd tonnes in Casks small and great
from any ports to which it is fitt for her to trade to England (the danger
of the seas excepted./
To the 5th hee answereth negatively verily beleeveing that the Master and
Mariners of a shipp that doe actually lade a shipp cannot soe
exactly depose touching what a shipp can carrie as they that measure her
can, for that the Mariners take in much ballast of the quantitie whereof
they keepe noe Accompt, as alsoe for that they many tymes want smale
goods to fill up where greater goods will not stowe./
To the 6th hee answereth negatively to every part thereof./
To the last hee saith hee hath satisfied the contents thereof before /
