Examined upon the sayd allegation/

Rp. 2

John Cliff of the parish of Allhallowes Barkeing London
Mariner Quartermaster of the Shipp the Edward of
London aged fifty six yeares or thereabouts a wittnes
sworne and examined saith and deposeth as followeth videlicet/

To the first article of the sayd allegation hee saith that hee this deponent
was Quarter Master of the Shipp the Edward of London the voyage in
question and thereby well knoweth that of the Caskes of wine laden by
the arlate Andrews or his ffactor at ffiall there were not
above nyne of them which had their chynes cutt which caske
soe cutt was the strongest of any casks there laden and they were cutt only
to make roome for the better stowage of them but
whether any of them soe cut were stowed in the hatch way hee remembreth
not And saith hee having bin a mariner for these fower
or five and thirty yeares and gone divers voyages wherein wines have
bin laden, well knoweth that it is a very frequent and usuall thing for
Masters of shipps for the more commodious stowage of their ladeings of
wine to referre the best casks (and such as they knowe will not give waye) to
cutt the chynes of them if they thinke it necessary for the more commodious
stowing of them, whether in the hatch way or other place of the shipp and
for Merchants to suffer Masters soe to doe it tending to their benefit and
for the firmer and better stoweing of their goods And further to this article
hee cannot depose/

To the second article of the sayd allegation and the schedule therein mentioned
hee saith hee knoweth that after such tyme as the sayd shipp the Edward
did arrive in New England the voyage in question and before any
of the wines laden aboard the sayd shipp by the sayd Andrews of his factors at ffiall
was removed out of their places where they were stowed the arlate Thomas
Brigden a Cooper came on board the sayd shipp (sent by as hee sayd
by the arlate Richard Russell to that purpose) and did survey and view
every caske of the sayd wines laden laden by the ffactors of the sayd Andrews
at ffiall on board the sayd shipp, before the same was removed out of
the place where it was stowed in the sayd shipp, And further hee cannot
depose not being present when the schedule arlate was made or signed
by the sayd Brigden./
