her Company could not have Comand of her, and therefore
they were necessitated to let slip their best Bower Anchor
but the Mary Rose came soe fast upon the John that shee
dragged the same home soe that it could not take hold
or bring the John up, And saith that hee this deponent was
the said time one of the Company of the John, and an
Eye and eare Witnesse of the Premisses, And as hee beleeveth
the Master and Company of the Mary Rose did come foule of
the John, wilfully, for that Cozen the said Marriot bee called [?out]
to the said Cole (though hee heard and understood him) hee the said
Cole would not slacken saile, but in a tart manner replyed to the
said Marriot that hee might meddle with his owne ship, and
not meddle with his saying that hee could worke his ship well
enough without his calling to him, or to that effect, et alr nescit.
Ad 7um dicit that at such time as the foresaid Anchor was slipped
the Master and severall of the Company of the John called out
to the Master and Company of the Mary Rose to lett fall an Anchor
to stop their ship, and they well heard and understood what
the Johns Master and Company said, and the Master replyed and made answer
that heee would neither lett fall an Anchor nor slacken
sailes, but get out with the tyde as other ships did or
to that effect, and notwithstanding they were told that they
would sincke the John if they did not slacken saile or let
slip an Anchor Yet they kept on their course and runne
the said ship John ashore in the River of Newcastle, where
shee soone after suncke with her said Lading of Coles although
her Master and Company used uttmost Endeavour to prevent
her soe doing, All which hee saith came and happened by
the Willfullnes or carelessnes of the said Cole and Company
for had they slackened saile and let fall an Anchor as they
were desired to doe (as aforesaid) the said ship would not
in all likelihood and probability have bin there sunck, et alr nescit./:
Ad 8.um dicit that the said ship tackle Rigging Gunns furniture
and things belonging to her were worth at the time of her
said sinking the summe of Eight hundred pounds and upwards
and the said Coles would have here yeilded above two hundred
pounds Cleare of Charges, This deponent having bin a seaman
for about two and thirty yeares, and oftentimes sailed to and from
Newcastle./.
Ad 9u. 10. 11. et 12 dicit that the said Marriot and Company with
the assistance of others did at the great charge of the Owners
weigh the said ship and preserved most of her Coales which
were very much dammaged, and the same were there sold
and saith hee verily beleeveth that the same were sold
for fifty pounds or neere thereabouts, And the said ship by reason
of her sinking and lying there, and weighing againe was
much hurt and broken, and her tackle and Rigging thereby
by the meanes aforesaid were much torne and damnifyed, And
saith that hee verily beleeveth that it would have cost the said
