Transcription

that the losse of the said wines must in his opinion of necessitie
have happened by drawing out or ill stowage. And otherwise hee cannot
depose.

To the 5 and 6 hee saithh that this deponents servant and precontest
henry Carter, being imployed to watch the wines aboard the said shipp
told this deponent one morning as hee came aboard that hee had found
the Cooke, the Gunner and Cookes boy taking away a number of wines
which they had got out on a false scuttle in the Cooks roome, and
this deponent blaming them, therefore they confessed that they
had drawne it out of a pipe marked R. B. (which hee saith was mr
Bakers marke) and prayed this deponent not to acquaint the
merchant therewith, saying that if hee did they should loose their
wages and be undonne, or to the same effect, And saith there was
of his sight a false shuttle out of the cookeroome into the hold.
And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the 7 hee cannot depose.

To the 8. and 9. hee saith that in all probabilitie some of the
pipes would have bin stavd or broken in case the shipp had met
with much stresse and fowle weather, whereas the caskes were all
very firme for ought hee could perceive to the contrary.

To the tenth hee saith the said pip wines lost and [XXXXX]ties
out of the said eight pipes and a halfe, would have yeelded and bin
here worth thirtie pounds per pipe one with another in his
estimation, which hee knoweth being a wine Cooper.

To the Interrogatories. [CENTRE HEADING]

To the first hee was not in the voyage.

To the second hee saith hee neither knoweth nor heard any such
matter.

To the last hee hath not soe deposed.

Repeated with his precontest before doctor Godolphin./.
