for the freight thereof (having not seene … for the freight thereof (having not seene the bills of lading for the same) hee knoweth not nor what is the usuall rate of the freight of a tonne of oyle<br />
thense to London And saith that those who brought the sayd oyle aboard did not come as the usuall<br />
manner is and deliver them aboard at the shipp side but laye with their vessell about a<br />
pistoll shott from the ''Catherine'' and with their tackle hoysed the butts upon their owne deck<br />
and thense heaved them into the sea and the reason as hee beleeveth why they did soe<br />
was for that they knew the shipp came from Genoa where the Plague was very hott, by which<br />
meanes the ''Catherines'' Company were fayne to hawle them to their shipps side with a roape which<br />
went from the shipp to the Vessell through the sea and then hoist them aboard, and they being [soe GUTTER]<br />
put aboard all wett were stowed upon the shipps O[?u]lopp abaft the mayne mast in a very [safe XX GUTTER]<br />
place and nothing stowed upon them but some loose hempe and bundles of hempe and some few [XXX of XXX GUTTER]<br />
And the same being soe laden the sayd shipp departed therewith from Vado in the sayd moneth of June<br />
and safely arrived therewith at this port of London in the moneth of August last and there delivered them<br />
to the Agents of the sayd Bonnell who disposed thereof according to their will and pleasure, this hee deposeth<br />
being boatswaine and entering the sayd butts in his booke and helpeing to take them in and alsoe<br />
unlade them And further to these articles hee cannot depose./
To the 5th and 6th articles hee saith that for that hee sawe the sayd oyles soe stowed as aforesayd hee knoweth<br />
they were well and carefully stowed and soe as noe dammage could or did happen to them by the de[fault GUTTER]<br />
of the Master or Company of the sayd shipp ''Catherine'' or by want of good stowage but what dammage<br />
happened to the sayd oyles, hee verily beleeveth soe happened by the leakinesse and badnesse of the Caske[s GUTTER]<br />
alsoe for that the caske were not drawne over with plaister of parris in the heads of them and usually<br />
Caskes of oyle are, but only drawne with a little resin round about the [XXXds] which melten off in [the GUTTER]<br />
heate of the hold And the sayd butts of oyle before their delivery at the Port of London [were GUTTER]<br />
of this deponents knowledge viewed by two able masters of shipps who tooke a view of their [dammage GUTTER]<br />
at debtford and did upon view made declare in presence and hearing of this deponent and others of the sayd<br />
shipps Company that the sayd twenty seaven butts of oyle were well and sufficiently stowed and<br />
what the dammage which had befalne them proceeded not by ill stowage or by any weighty goods layne<br />
upon them but by the leakinesse and insufficiencie of the Caske And further to these<br />
articles saving his subsequent deposition hee cannot depose./
To the 7th hee saith that upon the arrivall of the sayd Oyles at London there came a Cooper<br />
whose name hee knoweth not who sayd hee was sent aboard to view the sayd twenty seaven<br />
butts of oyle in behalfe of the sayd Bonnell and to receave them from abroad and see<br />
what condition they were And the sayd Cooper having viewed them did finde that<br />
they were all in some measure leakie and but some more than others of them and<br />
did in presence of this deponent and his precontest William Smith acknowledge and<br />
declare that the butts of oyle were all well stowed and that the cause of their l[XXXX GUTTER]<br />
was the badenesse of the Caske, and the sayd Cooper speakeing to the sayd Smith [sayd GUTTER]<br />
lett them bee taken out and put into lighters and I will give you a noate [and GUTTER]<br />
my hand that there is noe fault in the stowage but what dammage is happened is<br />
by the leakinesse of the Caske or words to that effect And this deponent [XXX GUTTER]<br />
remembreth that the sayd Cooper having soe viewed them there were platters and basons sett under the heads of such butts as could bee come at and the Cooper coming<br />
the next morning found that the platters and basons were full and some runne [XXX GUTTER]<br />
oyle that had leaked out in that one night tyme And further hee cannot depose/
To the 8th hee saith for that hee knoweth not how many tonnes of oyle the sayd twenty<br />
seaven butts conteyned hee cannot depose to this article
To the 9th hee saith hee referreth him selfe to the Registry of this Court And<br />
further cannot depose./
To the 10th hee saith hee beleeveth the sayd Young by not receaving his freight is<br />
damnified thereby over and above his principall to the value of twenty pounds sterling<br />
in this deponents Judgment and estimate And further hee cannot depose
To the 11th hee saith cannot depose/
To the last hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true./
