To the fourth Interrogatorie hee saith tha … To the fourth Interrogatorie hee saith that the sugars that were<br />
aboard the said shipp before and when the said hurricane or tempest<br />
happened, and which were to that quantitie (in his iudgement) of<br />
tenn tonnes as aforesaid, were laden for the proper accompt of the<br />
said Percivall Gilbert, and were really and truely belonging unto him<br />
as his owne proper goods as this deponent understood both by the<br />
affirmation of James Abby who put them aboard and otherwise,<br />
saith that the hogsheads and other casks wherein the same were laden, were<br />
marked '''P.G'''. all which hee knoweth being present and seeing the<br />
said goods soe laden, and helping to stowe the same. And otherwise<br />
hee cannot depose, saying hee doth not remember the<br />
[?iust] number of hogsheads and other caskes wherein the said sugars<br />
soe laden for Mr Gilberts accompt were contained.
To the fifth hee saith that the said three tonnes of beer<br />
and eight puncheons of brandewine that were alsoe cast<br />
away in the said shipp as aforesaid, were alsoe the proper<br />
goods of the said Percivall Gilbert, who laded the same<br />
aboard her at the Cowes as his owne goods, and were not<br />
landed at the Barbada's by reason the store house was<br />
soe full of sugars and other commodities that there was noe<br />
room for them; And otherwise hee cannot depose, saying that<br />
hee cannot estimate the valew either of the said sugars, brandewines<br />
and beere of the said producent soe cast away, or of the sugars<br />
that were provided and readie and intended to be laden for<br />
him.
To the sixth hee saith that hee verily beleeveth in his conscience<br />
that besides the said goods soe laden for and lost to the said<br />
producent, hee the said producent Percivall Gilbert, in the<br />
leaving of the other goods at the Barbada's that were provided and not laded<br />
(by reason of the said shipps casting away) hath suffered very<br />
greate losse and dammadge, whereas had the said storme not<br />
happened, nor the said shipp cast away, the said goods soe<br />
provided had bin laded, and they and those that were cast<br />
away as aforesaid,<br />
would in all probabilitie have come safe to<br />
England. And otherwise hee cannot depose.
Repeated before doctor Godolphin.
