soe much was well observed by this deponen … soe much was well observed by this deponent and the rest of the sayd<br />
shipps company then on board her, And saith the fowerteenth day of the sayd<br />
moneth the weather continueing still stormie and the winde bloweig<br />
then northerly soe that there was noe likelyhood (in this deponents Judgment)<br />
of gaineing Porto Port without the winde altered and weather proved<br />
lesse stormie, the sayd Jeggles did carry the sayd shipp and goods to<br />
Lisbore arlate where shee safely arrived about the fifteenth day of the<br />
sayd moneth, but by whose direction or order hee carried her thither hee knoweth<br />
not, yet beleeveth, (for that the arlate Cowses brother who went supracargoe<br />
of the sayd shipp was on board) the same was done by his order, or consent<br />
at least, it being a thing usuall for Masters of shipps if they have a Supra<br />
Cargoe on board to advise with them, And further hee cannot depose/
To the 7th article hee saith that after the sayd ship came to Lisborne<br />
the greatest part of her ladeing was there receaved on shoare by the<br />
arlate Edmond Corse or his order, and there by him selfe or otherwise<br />
disposed of and other goods by him put on board her, by which meanes the<br />
sayd shipp was there deteyned in enladeing the goods brought, thither, and<br />
takeing in the other goods there laden aboard her, from the tyme of her sayd<br />
arrivall in November 1654 till december next following, the premisses<br />
hee deposeth of his owne sight and knowledge being one of her company and<br />
on board And further cannot depose./
To the 8th hee saith that the sayd shipp being laden and by the sayd Edward<br />
Cowse discharged, a Pylott was put on board her (and by the sayd Cowse<br />
as hee hath heard and beleeveth) and shee ordered to proceede for<br />
Porto Port, And the sayd Jeggles in obedience to such order did presently<br />
endeavour to goe out with her but was hindered sometymes by fowle weather and<br />
sometymes by other accidents, as by being made staye of, by the<br />
Governour of a Castle neere Lisbone, upon pretense of searching<br />
for a fryer who (as it was sayd) was runne away), and saith shee was by him<br />
stayed divers dayes, but how longe hee remembreth not, all which<br />
staye there at Lisbone was occasioned either by fowle weather or<br />
Crosse windes, or by Commands of the sayd Governour and his officers,<br />
and not through any default of the sayd Jeggles or any of his<br />
Company the premisses hee deposeth for the reasons aforesayd And further<br />
cannot depose/
To the 9th hee saith that the moneth of ffebruary 1654 and about the<br />
beginning thereof (the tyme neere certainly hee remembreth not) the<br />
sayd Jeggles gott with his sayd shipp the ''Ann''e out of Lisbon with the<br />
sayd Pylott on board him, and but the winde and weather proceeding crosse<br />
and stormie, the sayd shipp beate up and downe before the Port of Porto Port about<br />
a weekes space before shee could gett in, and at length in the sayd<br />
moneth of ffebruary (but what day therof hee remembreth not) shee<br />
with much difficulty gott safe into Porto Port, with her ladeing, this<br />
hee deposeth upon the grounds of knowledge as aforesayd And further cannot depose/ge as aforesayd And further cannot depose/ +
