Transcription

Instruments, and the heat thereof was soe excessive and the stench thereof is
noysome and stifeling that this deponent and the rest of his felloe
Labourers in the hold were forced to putt off their garments and worke
naked, and the one of the sayd Labourers by the sayd noysome heat and stench
videlicet Edward Spaiggs arlate grew distemoered fell sick and dyed
of his sicknes and distemper then gott, and one Robert Brockett one
other of the Labourers gott by the same meanesa shrewd distemper
which hath continued upon him and made him weake listles and
unfitt for hard labor ever since, and severall others of the sayd
Labourers receyved much hhurt and preiudice in their health and some
were forced to leave the worke before it was finished. And saith
the sayd vessell was very leaky so as 2 men during the whole
tyme of her such unlading were imployed att the pumpe constantly
And the wheat neere the port holes and att the bottome next the matts
to the quantity five quarters att the least was all crusted black and
so noysome and wholly perished that it was nott fitt for any use
noe not for hoggs, nor any way worth the carrying away
but was as an uselesse thing throwne and cast over board: And
saith in case the sayd corne had not bene removed but had continued
in the sayd shipp by the space of 16. or 20 dayes longer the
same would in all probability have all of it bene rendred uselesse
and have utterly bene perished

[ADD DATA]

To the eighth article of the sayd allegation This deponent saith that the foresayd
Commissioners did by removing the sayd wheat into Granaries, and dressing
amd straeneing use their best endeavours and diligence to care the
same and make it merchatabble. And he hath heard that Justice
Vincent of Peckham bought the same of the sayd Commissioners and is
like to be a looser by it. and otherwise cannot depose.
