Mrs Pett to whom he is noe way related, but formerly was an Apprentice<br />
with Mr Pett deceased, and saith he was not present att the making<br />
of any Agreement for the goods in controversy, but heard his sayd<br />
Master Mr Pett declare what the agreement was, and entred the same<br />
in his booke, and hath since heard Captaine Edward Thompson acknowledge<br />
that the Agreement was made as this Rendent had entred the same.<br />
And he knoweth the values of the sayd goods not onely because they<br />
stand so entred in Mr Petts books, but because he knew the goodnes<br />
of the timber and other things, and well saw that others payd like<br />
prices att that tyme, and knoweth that the like goods are now of a<br />
greater value. And otherwise he cannot depose.
To the 2. Interrogatorie he saith that the repair of the sayd shipp was done<br />

stuffe and timber and necessaries out of Mr Petts yard att usuall and<br />
ordinary prices, without any particular compact, and the value of that Stuffe<br />
timber and goods did amount to two hundred thirty two pounds<br />
two shillings six pence:- six pound four shillings ten pence whereof<br />
was for stuffe sent as [?XXX] to sea in the sayd shipp. And part of the<br />
sayd repaires were done by contract and agreement with mr Pett [?XXX] he<br />
was to have for double sheathing of her two hundred eighty sixe pounds<br />
and for three strakes of fflemish planck on each side seaventy<br />
two pound ten shillings. and saith hee was to use so much tarr<br />
as was necessary for the compleat sheathing of the sayd vessekk And<br />
saith the last of tarr iis demanded in the Libell because the bargayne<br />
was very hard and to mr Petts preiudice, and not otherwise as hee<br />
conceyveth And further he cannot depose.
To the third he saith that a Carpenter contracting to doe worke or<br />
repair a shipp is att his owne charge to furnish sheres, furnaces and<br />
other necessaryes, and he saith that the sheres [?X]ayes planke and furnace<br />
for the use whereof satisfaction is demanded were not nor are accounted<br />
upon the worke which Mr Pett did by contract as aforesayd, but were<br />
made use of by the sayd Captaine Thompsons Carpenters which he did<br />
employ without any relation to Mr Pett. And otherwise he<br />
cannot depose.
To the 4th Interrogatorie he saith he doth not know nor beleive that the<br />
five hundred seventy nine pounds seventeene shillings mentioned<br />
in the sayd Libell to be paid for the repaires done upon the sayd shipp<br />
the ''Ruth'' was in full of the whole summe demanded upon the sayd shipp<br />
or that sthe residue was abated under colour of any extraordinary prices.<br />
but beleeveth the same was payd and receyved in part and knoweth<br />
that the prices of the particulars were ordinary and usuall and that<br />
Mr Pett had a very hard and ill bargaine of the sayd Contract<br />
workes. And further he cannot depose.
