Thames before Greenwich and went aboard her, and were there informed that<br />

had notice they used all diligence for cleering and to avoide the<br />
fishermans dammage, and this deponent sawe them very helpfull and<br />
industrious to cleare the said wedles, some of them going into the boates<br />

any dammage should happen albeit they could not help it, comming<br />
to anchor in an usuall place in the midst of the river where shipps upon<br />
like occasion usually ride, which hee knoweth having used the river as<br />
