deponent met the producent Thomas Browning at Cadiz in the<br />
shipp the ''ffortune'' arlate whereof the said Browning was the master,<br />
and where with the said Browning from from Santa Cruz as this deponent was informed<br />
by him, And while hee was soe at Cadiz this deponent sawe the said<br />
Browning severall dayes on shoare about his shipps busines, And<br />
otherwise hee cannot depose.
To the Interrogatories. [CENTRE HEADING]
To the first hee saith hee cometh in the instance of the said Thomas<br />
Browning to speake the truth in this cause, and that hee hath noe<br />
relation at all to him; and saith hee this deponent sawe the said<br />
Browning severall times in the house of the interrate Mr Wilson in<br />
Cadiz about the shipps business, and that this rendent was not in her<br />
that voyage, And otherwise hee cannot depose.
To the second hee saith that as hee hath heard the said Thomas<br />
Browning had an Adventure of his owne on board the said shipp<br />
the said voyage, and this deponent holdeth the said allowance of<br />
a peece of eight per day in the case aforesaid to be a duety from the<br />
owners and not a gratuitie, in as much as a master or purser cannot<br />
well be at lesse daily expense on<br />
shoare; and hee doth not conceive that the owners having a factor<br />
on shoare shall not excuse the said allowance, for a master is seldome<br />
or never consigned to a port, where[?in] the owners have not some<br />
factor or other person to give him assistance and that the masters<br />
going ashoare to him and staying there and waiting on him about<br />
the shipps business is for the most part equall expense to him as if there were noe<br />
factor there, and that rate of a peece of eight per diem is a<br />
mans ordinary expense there, and often more than lesse. And<br />
otherwise cannot answere saving as aforesaid.
