as this deponent hath constantly receaved … as this deponent hath constantly receaved from and by credible information of<br />
Masters and Commanders useing that voiage to expresse a certaine summe<br />
according at the Masters can agree, for the said average, whereas in<br />
other ordinary Charterparties average primiage and petiladmonage accustomed<br />
are expressed without mentioning any particular summe, This deponent sayeing<br />
has knoweth not of any allowance in the Brazeele voyages in lieu<br />
of such primiage average and petiladmonage, but onely the averages soe<br />
particularized in such Charterparties, usually due payable to such Masters and<br />
their Companies as undertake and performe such voiages to the Brazeele,<br />
And further to this Article hee saith hee cannot depose, not knoweing<br />
what is expressed in the Charterpartie in this Cause allate./

between England and fflanders to send diverse goods and merchandizes<br />
from flanders to dover in England to be transported thence in English<br />
shipps to Cadiz Saint Lucas Genoa and Leghorne, and that such goods soe<br />
transported did ordinarily and usually pay one royall primiage for<br />
and upon every duckat freight, and soe much this deponent saith hee hath<br />
received upon the like occasion, which primiage hee saith, belonged to the<br />
Masters and Companies of the shipps soe employed, and was usually<br />
allowed and payd unto them, without any pretence made thereunto by the<br />
Owners of such shipps, And further saith hee cannot depose./
To the 8th hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true./

of the shipp the ''hannibal'' of london aforesaid, and that hee never<br />
made a voyage from Portugall to the Brazeele interrate; And<br />
therefore hath nothing more to answer to the other demands of this Interrogatorie./
To the second hee saith that this rendent hath credibly heard that Masters<br />
of shipps upon Brazeele voiages have beene necessitated to give<br />
double wages, and wages and halfe as they could agree, because it is an<br />
extraordinary voiage for English men to adventure upon in regard of<br />
the unholesomenesse of that Climate, and dangers [XXXXXXXX] they are<br />
exposed by the Portugalls enemies; This deponent not knowing nor having<br />
ever heard that such great averages as are allowed in such voiages<br />
were or are upon any consideration of such weare and teare at is interrate<br />
And further cannot depose, saving that shipps in that voyage are<br />
usually much prejudiced by the worne./
To the third hee saith hee was never present at the making of any such<br />
Charterpartie at is interrate./:-
To the 4th hee saith, That Masters and Companies employed from Lisborne<br />
to the Brazeele have their certaine salaries or wages agreed upon<br />
betwixt them and their Owners, before they goe from England to Portugall<br />
and that besides the Averages aforesaid agreed upon with the freighters<br />
in Portugall, And otherwise saving his foregoeing deponent, to which hee<br />
referreth hee saith hee cannot depose./
To the 5th hee saith hee referreth himselfe to his precedent deposition to the<br />
4th article interrate, And further cannot depose./
To the 6th hee saith hee knoweth nothing therefore, otherwise then that the<br />
Master of shipps making such agreement as is interrate, doe usually make<br />
them at Lisborne, their Owners being for the most part here in London, but<br />
beleeveth the averages in such Cases are usually regulated proportionable<br />
to the freight more or lesse, and that it is not in the Masters power to<br />
make the averages higher then the Custome there in due proportion to<br />
the freight allowes them./
To the 7th hee referreth himselfe to his deposition to the 5th article interrate<br />
And further cannot depose./
