Transcription

shee were before of this deponents knowledge a tight and stronge lighter yet shee was in very
great danger of sinkeing downe right in the River had not the carpenter
and some other of the Company of the Mary aforesayd presently came
aboard the lighter and helped to stopp her leakes with Oakham, and
Clay which they tooke off some barrells of new beere brought aboard
the Mary which not with standing this deponent and the sayd other labourers
wrought about the [XXXX XXX] almost up to the middle in water to heave out the rest of her ballast
into the Mary thereby to lighten the sayd lighter and keepe her from
sinking, all which hee saith was occasioned by the willfullnesse of
the Company of the Thomasin and Alice in not lowering their sayles and
bearing southward as they were desyred, they habing tymely notice soo to
doe, and well hearing such notice as by their obstinate answere
aforesayd plainely appreared, and saith that the sayd shipp Thomasin
and Alice her Company ought having such tymely notice to have
taken care not to fall fowle of the sayd lighter and might easily have
avoided the same if they would habe endeavoured soo to doe, And
further to those articles hee cannot depose/

To the 6th hee saith hee well knoweth that imediately before the sayd
shipp Thomasin and Alice fell fowle of the sayd lighter the Ellen and Anne,
shee was a very strong and staunch lighter, and in deede had shee
not bin soe, shee bin without doubt sunke downe right by the
meanes aforesayd, And what the repaire of the dammage done her
rest hee knoweth not, but saith when she was repayered yet by
reason it doth appeare shee is patched and preserved hee beleeveth
shee will not yeild soe much by five pound sterling in the price
of her as shee would have done before the dammage receaved
And further hee cannot depose/

To the 7th and 8th hee saith hee referreth him selfe to the Registry of this
Court and further cannot depose

To the 9th he cannot depose/

To the 10th hee referreth him selfe to his foregoeing deposition and to the
lawe and further cannot depose./

To the last hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true/

To the interrogatories/ [CENTRE HEADING]

To the first interrogatorie hee saith hee cometh to bee examined at the
request of the producent and hath receaved of her two shillings sixe pense
toward his hinderance of his labour by comming and attending to bee sworne and examined
and expecteth that the same shall bee made up two shillings a day beeing only
soo much as hee could earne by his dayly labour) for soo long tyme as hee shall
bee enforced to attend thereabout hee having all ready spent
fower dayes tyme thereabout and saith hee was one of the labourers aboard
the sayd lighter when the dammage happened and to the rest of the
interrogatories hee answereth negatively well knowing that the Thomasin and
Alice was not thrust on by any other Smack./
