they conditioned with the sayd Jeggles to have the hundred fifty
and odd hogsheads of tobaccoe they laded aboard the Anne caried to
Ireland and that Jeggles should stay there five dayes for the sale thereof
and in case it could not in that tyme be there sold then to bring it for
England And this deponent knoweth the sayd Jeggles being by
reason of the smale quantitie thereof unwilling to goe with it to any
place but to England the sayd Laders fell out with the sayd Jeggles
after the same was laden, and would have had it from on board
againe, where upon the sayd Jeggles was constreyned rather to yeild
to carrye it for Ireland than altogeather to loose the freight thereof
And this deponent well observed and is well assured that the sayd
1Jeggles did not omitt or neglect any tyme or oportunitie

from Virginia to Barbados and soe for England for that

neede of to fitt her for soe longe a voyage/
