To the first article hee saith that in the monthe and the tyme arlate the arlate
Elizabeth Matson was Commonly reputed the lawfull Owner and proprietor
of the lighter arlate called the Ellen and Anne and of her appurtenances
and soe still is reputed And further cannot depose./

To the second third fowerth and fifth articles of the sayd libell hee saith
that in the moneth of May last past and about the nynth or tenth days thereto
the arlate shipp the March of Ipswich rode at Anchor in the River of
Thames neere New Crane takeing in ballast in a fitt and convenient
place where shipps usually ride at Anchor to the like purpose, And that
the lighter the Ellen and Anne lay fast moored to the sayd shipp
Mary and this deponent and one davies and one Thomas Gibbs and
one Tayler all labourers hyred to that purpose by one William [?dugdale]
were heaving ballast out of the sayd lighter into the sayd shipp the Mary
and while they were soo doeing videlicet upon or about the sayd nynth

called out to the Company of the Thomasin and Alice and to hold

Lighter moored to her, but the Thomasin and Alice holding on to her
cauvse and coming still neerer, this deponent and the other labourers called out to the Company
of the Mary and told them of the approach of the sayd shipp Thomasin and
Alice and thereupon the Company of the Mary called out to the Company
of the Thomasin and Alice and gave them tymely notice and willed them
to lower their sayles and beare to the southwards thereby to prevent
falling fowle of the Mary and the sayd lighter, which notwithstanding
the Company of the Thomasin and Alice refused to doe an answer
and sayd they could not nor they would not doo it, and by that meanes
hee saith the sayd shipp Thomasine and Alice in a willfull manner
came under sayle fowle of the sayd Lighter the Ellen and Anne and
Crushed her with that violence that they almost splitt her in peeces
and shee thereby was in soe great danger and tooke water in soe
