To the 3 hee saith the William laye at Tower wharfe empty the tyme Interrogate And
saith hee knoweth not nor hath heard that the Wharfinger commanded the William to
be gone before the Waterhound came, nor whether the wharfinger gave any order for
the Waterhound to come thither to unlade, And saith the Waterhound was then a laden
shipp and the William empty and beleeveth by the Custome of the River the Company
of the William ( if it had bin day tyme or if it was not and that the Company of the Waterhound
had given them sufficient notice and tyme and liberty soe to doe which hee saith they did not )
ought to have brought their empty shipp outermost and saith his Contest William
Smith did call to the Company of the Waterhound, before they lusted their sayd shipp
inwards upon the William and bid them have a care and not lust their sayd shipp
inwards for if they did it would squeese the William to peeces or words to that effect
And further saving his foregoing deposition hee cannot answere.

To the 4th Interrogatorie hee saith the William after her rideing fower shipps a brest
did on the Wednesday the 19th of this September goe away, but spake not that hee
knoweth or hath heard of to Constant and his Company to helpe them out, but
that the shipp on the inside of the William being goeing out the William alsoe went
out with her , and saith that Constant in vereing his hawser to let them out did receive
a small blow on his hand with his own hawser but not soe as any way to endanger
any part of his hand And to the rest of the Interrogatorie hee answereth negatively
referring him selfe to his deposition to the sixth article of the libell wherein hee
hath truly and as fully as hee can answered the rest of the Interrogatories And further cannot answere/

*************************

The same day [CENTRE HEADING]

The sayd William Smith upon Interrogatories./

d: Suckley

To the first Interrogatorie hee saith hee cometh to testifie the truth of his knowledge in this
cause being soe required to doe by the Interrogate huntington and was and is pylott of
the William and hath three pounds due to him for wages which hee expecteth to receive
of the sayd huntington and other Owners of the William, and saith hee hath used the sea as
Master and pylott of shipps for these thirty yeares last or thereabouts and hath observed that
it is a usuall custome at Tower wharfe and other wharfes on the River of Thames for
three shipps and not above to ryde a brest one of an other and saith hee well remembereth
that within the sayd tyme hee transgressing and making a fowerth a brest at
Porters Key London was for such his offence arrested by James Gyes an official of
the Admiralty and was faine to compound for the same And further to this Interrogatorie
hee cannot answere./

To the 2 Interrogatorie hee saith the William was empty when the Waterhound came to
her side and saith it was the duty of the Williams Company to put out fenders, and
hee this deponent and ffrancis Everett and George Watts did accordingly put out fenders
about an hower after the Waterhound came to her side, and before the Waterhound lusted
inwards upon her, and saith notwithstanding her fenders the William being
a smaler ship and empty might and was damnified in manner predeposed as the
tyde forsooke her by reason of the Waterhound lufting inwards and leaning upon
her as aforesayd, And saith there was an Anchor boie hunge over the syde
of the Waterhound by some of her Company for a fender, but the same did more
hurt than good to the Water hound being laden and lufting inward and leaning upon the William
which was empty And further hee cannot answere/

To the 3 hee saith the tyme Interrogate the William lay at Tower wharfe empty but
noe order or command was given by the wharfinger ( that this deponent ever
heard of) for her departure before the Waterhound came nor after neither knoweth hee
or hath heard that the wharfinger gave any order for the Waterhound to come
thither
