lading, and saith shee was of the burthen of eightie tonnes or thereabouts<br />
and seemed to this deponent to be very strong and tight, and hee beleeveth<br />
shee was not then above three yeares old, and saith the port of fflushing<br />
is a drie port, soe as shipps when the tide is out, alwaies<br />
lie drie, and rest upon the ground; by meanes whereof shipps there<br />
doe many times [?mark] or [?crush] and their goods receive dammage; soe<br />
that (as hee taketh it) it is the use and custome there amongst merchants and masters to [XXXX] any dammage there<br />
received from beneath, to casualtie<br />

to mr vanbrugghs fat of thredd in question came by a leake which shee there received beneath in soe lying, and<br />

shipp, before the said ships departure from<br />

or suspected to have received wet, and told this deponent (to his best remembrance) upon determination to<br />
him of his said fatt of linnen, that hee had taken out all goods that hee<br />
suspected to be damnified with the leake, And further hee cannot answer.
