'''John Nutshall''' of the parish of Saint Saviours Southwarke<br />
Corne Porter aged 55 yeares or thereabouts a<br />
witnes sworne and examined deposeth and saith<br />
as followeth. videlicet.
To the first second and third Articles of the sayd allegation this deponent<br />
saith he knoweth nothing thereof.
To the fourth fifth sixth and seventh articles of the sayd allegation this<br />
deponent saith and deposeth That he this deponent in or about the<br />
moneth of July last past of this present yeare 1653. was imployed by<br />
the Commissioners for prize goods with his precontest Richard Staples, one<br />
Edward Sprigs and his contest Henry Walter and others for the<br />
unlading of a certayne shipp lyeing over against Lyme house<br />
dock in the River of Thames being the shipp arlate commonly called<br />
the ''ffortune'' of Statin which was then laden with wheat. And<br />
saith the sayd wheat was then in a very perishing condition and<br />
some of it actually perished, and that after the removall of about<br />
two foot in depth thereof It was very heavy white musty and hard baked together<br />
so as it was forced to be loosened and broken with Crowes of<br />
Iron and the like Instruments, and being loosened and broken up<br />
did rise in great lumps and flakes as big as a mans body, and<br />
was so excessive hott that one of the Labourers that wrought with<br />
the Crow of Iron and happening to Chopp his Crow upon a Ring<br />
of Iron which it seemes had laine in the sayd Corne his fingers<br />

[?naysome] and stifling that the Labourers that wrought in the hold<br />
of the shipp were forced and faine of this deponents sight to<br />

was so distempered thereby that he became sick and dyed of his<br />
distemper then gott, and many others of the sayd Labourers<br />
receyved much preiudice in their health thereby and were ill att<br />
ease long after, and some were forced to leave the worke before<br />
it was quite finished being overcome with stifling heat and this<br />
deponent amongst the rest. And saith the sayd wheat had receyved<br />
much hurt by water that came in att her port holes and elsewhere<br />
and great quantityes of water were daily pumped out, and such<br />
