Transcription

To the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seaventh
and eight articles of the sayd allegation he deposeth and
saith, That he this deponent being a Wayter at the
Customehouse went aboard the articulate shipp the
Stambeleene at Gravesend, to looke after (on the behalfe
of the Commonwealth) the dutyes and Customes arising
from the goods and merchandizes on board her, and that there
were then on board her to the value of 20000 pounds
(as he verily beleiveth) in silkes and other Commodities, And
that he this deponent was alsoe on board her when she
lay neere Ratcliffe in the River of Thames and when
the articulate William Cr[?u]mpe having some occasion to
goe on shoare, he the said William did in this deponents
presence give order to the shipps company (which were
then upon the Deck[?e]) to bee carefull of the sayd shipp
and goods, And that after the sayd Cr[?u]mpe was gone
on shoare that many of the sayd shipps Company went
alsoe ashoare, (but he saith he knoweth not the names of
those who stayd aboard, or of those that went ashoare, saving
he knoweth that the [?Master Gunner] of the sayd shipp stayed
And he sayth that after the sayd Crumpe, and afterhim
that many of the sayd shipps company were gone ashoare
the fire in the shipp burst out and discovered itselfe whereby the
sayd shipp and her rigging and some goods (to a good value)
were quite consumed and lost and perished, And he deposeth
that in all probability if all the said shipps Company had
been on board her when the fyre first burst out, the said
fire might have nin quenched, and therby the said ship and
goods preserved, but that after the fire broake out none
durst come on board her (as he best remembreth)
And further he cannot depose.

To the Interrogatoryes. [CENTRE HEADING]

To the first Interrogatory he answereth that he knoweth noe
more of all persons named in this Interrogatory then the
interrate Polgreene and harris, with whom (he saith) he hath
but little acquaintance, That she came into the River of Thames
in the beginning of December last, and that the sayd shipp
the Stamboleene was moored in very safe moorings by
Ratcliffe, and that (as he heard by the sayd shipps Company)
she had been taken by the ffrench and the sayd shipps
Company [?were] plundred of their clothes, and therby that
they endured much hardshipp And further he knoweth
not to answeare.

To the 2d Interrogatory he answereth that there was on board the
said shipp at the time interrate this Rendent and two
more Wayters of the Custome=house besides five
men and three boyes belonging to the said shipp, and that she
being safe moored, the said five men and 3 boyes were enough to have
looked to her, had not the fire happened And further
he knoweth not to answeare.
