discourse together with this Rendent touch … discourse together with this Rendent touching the long delay of the cause of the sayd<br />
three sylver shipps, she the sayd widdow Pembridge did acquaint this<br />
deponent that Austyn (speacking of one Austyn that is sayd to be<br />
examined, and was imployed in this busines) had receyved fifty pounds<br />
and sayd she thereupon , how cometh it to passe, or why is it that wee<br />
speaking of heerselfe and this deponent doe not gett some money<br />
likewise? but whether the sayd Austyn did really receyve the sayd fifty<br />
pounds, or from whom, or for what, or when, or where she for her<br />
oart is not able to depose. And saith she hath heard her husband<br />
say that the Commissioners for the prize lent him about five<br />
pounds and that they sayd they did so lend the same because they<br />
heard that he the sayd Johnson was a poore man. and knoweth<br />
not nor hath heard of any other cause why the sayd money was<br />
lent. And further to theis Interrogatories otherwise than negatively<br />
she saith she cannot depose.
To the fourth Interrogatory she saith, her husband aforesaid hath often<br />
told her that he had bene and was the first discoverer that these<br />
three shipps especially the ''Sampson'' were bound for holland, and<br />
that he did discover the same not for gayne of money but for the<br />
welfare of this land that it might not be cheated and cousened.<br />
And saith she doth expect to have such allowance for her losse of<br />
tyme in attending severall dayes to be sworne and examined in<br />
this cause as the law will allow her, and beleiveth her husband<br />
doth expect the lioke, and hopeth the same is ust and lawfull<br />
because her husband and she are poore people and worke for their living<br />
and ought not to neglect their worke and loose their tyme for nothing.<br />
And further otherwise than negatively she cannot depose.
To the fifth Interrogatorie she saith she was not ymployed nor sent to<br />
Woolwich about this busines of the sylver shipps, but saith she hath heard<br />
her husband say to this or the like effect that the sayd Pembridge soone after the arrivall of<br />
the sayd shipps ''Sampson'' ''Salvador'' and ''Saint George'' in this River brought<br />
him the sayd Johnson this deponents husband to the Commissioners for the prize<br />
and that he the sayd Johnson then told them that the sayd shipps were belonging<br />
to Holland, and that he would venture his life on it, And then it<br />
was concluded that this deponents husband the sayd Pembridge, the sayd<br />
Austyn who could speach Dutch asthis deponents husband likewise did, and<br />
one Symonds (as she taketh his name to be) should goe downe to Woolwich<br />
to discover what they could from some of the Mariners of the sayd shipps,<br />
And that accordingly they went to Woolwich, and came into the Company<br />
of a trumpeter and others belonging to the sayd shipps, and that they did<br />
give out that the sayd Symonds (though he were a Clerke belonging to the sayd<br />
Commissioners) and the sayd Pembridge were Taylors, and that when they perceyved that<br />
the sayd Trumpeter and other Mariners did suspect him the sayd Pembridge and Symonds to be [?Skellams] as<br />
they termed them, they the sayd Johnson and Austyn caused the sayd Symonds to be placed in a roome next<br />
