Transcription is about 500 leagues, which is about 80 leis about 500 leagues, which is about 80 leagues out of the very direct<br /> way from Zant to the Straights mouth and so commonly accompted. And<br /> such that to saile from Zant first to Legorne and thence to the Straights<br /> mouth is faster by tenn leagues or thereabouts, than to saile from<br /> Corsica to the Straights mouth, all which hee knoweth for the reasons<br /> aforesaid, having often sailed in those parts. To the nineth article hee saith and deposeth that from Salina Roade<br /> in Cyprus to saile to the Straights mouth by the way of Zant, and 740 [LH MARGIN] thence to Corsica is about 740˹ ˹795˺˺˹ seven hundred and fortie˺ leagues, which is about XX ˹ninetie˺ leagues<br /> out of the direct course from Salina Roade to the Straights<br /> 1mouth; parting a reason of his knowledge as aforesaid. To the 16th árticle hee saith and deposeth that the way of steeving<br /> cotton woolls is to lay a certaine number of baggs underneath and<br /> as many on the topp of them, and then to steeve in betweene<br /> them as many as the space or placeX betweene them are capable to contain GUTTER<br /> and otherwise to this article hee saith hee ćannot depose, not<br /> knowing of any such necessitie of steeving such a quantitie in a day<br /> saving hee saith that if there be eight<br /> bagges steeved in a day there may be 24 baggs received aboard in that<br /> day; which is small, especially the first day, and afterwards there<br /> are usually sixteene baggs or more received aboard each day,<br /> which hee knoweth having bin severall times at Cyprus and at<br /> the receiving Cottons aboard shipps, and seein{g} the lading and steeving<br /> thereof: him and saith that each day after the first there may<br /> be so many baggs receaved aboard as to lay and steeve as may<br /> amount one day day with another to the 17 or 18. baggs per diem. And<br /> otherwise cannot depose. To the seaventeenth hee saith that fourtie foure men working<br /> 20 houres or but 16 houres in 24 houres. for 12 dayes together<br /> may lay and steeve within that time 170 or at least 160 baggs,<br /> and may receive within the said 12 dayes 50 baggs more (winde and<br /> weather permitting) and may steeve them afterwards, And otherwise<br /> hee cannot depose. saving that if there be roome in the shipp [?over ?and]<br /> upon the rest hee is not exámined by direction of the producent. To the Interrogatories. [CENTRE HEADING] To the first hee saith that hee cometh required by Mr ffrancis<br /> ffooke to be a witnes in this cause, wherein he hath noe interest<br /> nor will it be any dammage or advantage tohim which sale seeing<br /> prevailes or be overthrowne therein. To the 2 hee saith hee hath bin at Ciprus steeving woolls twice<br /> namely once in the Mercury and once in the Chase, which Mercury<br /> was of the burthern of 330 tonnes or thereabouts, and the Chase of<br /> 180 tonnes or thereabouts, and had 38 men and the Mercury betwixt<br /> 40 and 50, and the Mercury had 3 decks and the Chase two, and<br /> that hee was last there in the yeare 1654 in or about [LH MARGIN] 1654 July, and saith that Cyprus baggs are for the most part bigger<br /> than other baggs [LH MARGIN]<br /> aboard the receipt of 38<br /> baggs of cotton woolls and<br /> 400 sacks of galls, to steeve<br /> 38 baggs and yet have 30 tonnes<br /> of dead tonnage left, there must be<br /> roome [?sufficient] [?and]<br /> take in 50 baggs more<br /> and steeve them afterwards<br /> Ben Gunson [SIGNATURE, LH MARGIN]br /> Ben Gunson [SIGNATURE, LH MARGIN]  +
