1. doth beleive it to be true that the sayd shipp Little Mary was taken to
2. freight by the sayd Body for the voyage arlate. And further or otherwise
3. he cannot depose.

4. To the 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. and .14th articles of the sayd Libell he saith he cannot depose
5. To the 15th article of the sayd Libell he saith that during the tyme of this deponents
6. stay att the Canaries which was from the 29th of November to the
7. seventeenth of January last past, he did observe that all sorts of provisions
8. were deere ánd sćarce, and that herrings did yeild and were ordinarily
9. sold att eighty Ryalls per barrell. and beefe att one hundred and
10. forty Ryalls per Kintall which is neere a Ryall and halfe per pound. and
11. pipe staves att a thousand Ryalls per thousand. and att such rates the
12. lading of the Little Mary if they had arrived in good condition att
13. the Canaries whilst this deponent was there might have bene sold. And
14. otherwise he cannot depose.

15. To the .16th. article of the sayd Libell he saith that whilest he he was att the
16. Canaries as aforesayd the price of wynes there was from three hundred
17. and eighty Ryalls to four hundred twenty ˹sixty˺ XXXXX two Ryalls per pipe according
18. to the quality of the wyne. So as he beleiveth that two hundred forty
19. three barrells of herrings six thousand weight of beefe and eight
20. thousand pipestaves (in case the sayd shipp Little Mary had brought so
21. many thither within the tyme aforesayd) being sold att the rates above
22. specifyed might and would have produced about seventy pipes
23. of Canary wynes or rather more. And otherwise he cannot depose
24. saving that he bought wynes att the Canaries the tyme aforesayd some att
25. 340. some att. 360. some att four hundred. Some att 462. Ryalls per
26. pipe and that att his returne to this Port he found the price of wynes
27. of the Canaries here some att six and twenty some att four and thirty
28. some att thirty seven pound sterling per pipe.

29. To the .17.th article he saith that the sayd Mr Stephens had att the Canaries about
30. fifty pipes of wynes in readines which he intended to have laden on
31. board the Little Mary over and besides what the foresayd goods would
32. have produced, which the sayd shipp not performing her voyage, are
33. still there to the great preiudice of the sayd Mr Body for whom
34. they were intended, of some of which this deponent tasted, and saith
35. they are in danger to be utterly lost by reason of the sayd shipps not
36. comeing according to expectation, which if they be lost it will be to the
37. damage of the sayd Mr Body neere four hundred pounds. And he
38. likewise heard the sayd Mr Stephens speake of twenty pipes more which
39. he did intend (as hee sayd) to lade in the sayd vessell Little Mary for the
40. sayd Body.

41. To the 18th article of the sayd Libell he saith that in case the sayd shipp Little Mary
42. had as was expected come to the Canaries there was license obteyned for her
43. to have sold her goods and laden wynes on board her and Dutch
44. dispatches were prepared in readines for her to that purpose which this
45. deponent there saw and read within the tyme aforesayd which were so
46. had and obteyned in regard of an Embargo upon English shipps and
47. goods. and by vertue of the sayd License and Dutch dispatches the sayd vessell
48. Little Mary (had she come thither) might have bene laden with safety
49. the sayd Embargo notwithstanding as severall other English shipps
50. were by the like meanes of the certayne knowledge and sight of this
51. deponent. And otherwise he cannot depose.
