To the 14th hee saith hee knoweth that there were labourers hyred to digg and
make way for the Carpenters to stopp the hole which the sayd Anchor had
made in the bilge of the Imployment but what they or the Carpenters had for their
paines thereabouts hee knoweth not. And further hee cannot depose/
To the 15th hee saith that hee well knoweth that the Imployment was neere fully
laden when shee receaved the damage and that by the sayd Anchor as aforesayd, shee
having delivered little of her ladeing before the same happened And hee
saith hee heard the sayd Master of her before the damage aforesayd happened saye that
hee had sold the Coales on board the sayd shipp for twenty three
pounds tenn shillings a score, and had agreed with seaventeene labourers to unlade them
at the rate, some of them, of 9 s, some of 10 s, and some of 12 s a man soe to unlade
her, and hee saith that after the shipp Imployment was bilged and damaged
as aaforesayd hee knoweth that the sayd labourers by reason the coales had
receaved much water and that they were of necessitie to stand neere upon middle
deepe in water to unlade them, did refuse to unlade them at the prices which
the sayd Master had before agreed with them for, whereupon the sayd
master in this deponents hearing and presence did for that there was a necessitie
of lightening the sayd shipp of the sayd coales agree to give them some of them
twenty fower shillings and others twenty six shillings a man, to unlade the

a Collyer (which hath bin for these fifteene or sixteene yeares last past)
that it hath bin the use and custome of Newcastle shipps to measure out their
Coales on shippboard And saith that by reason of the samage predeposed
hee knoweth the Master was forced to make all the speede hee could to
heave the Coales from aboard the sayd shipp into lighters and carry them on shoare without measuring
them on shippboard And hee this deponent is well assured by reason of
the wett the sayd coales had receaved and the heaveing them out at the port
holes into lighters there could not chuse but bee much losse as to the
quantitie of the sayd shipps ladeing, And further hee cannot depose/
To the 17th hee saith hee well knoweth, that a barrell and a halfe of
powder aboard the Imployment and belonging to the Owners of her was by the wett receaved by the sayd
leake utterly spoiled but as to the value thereof hee cannot depose./
To 18th hee saith hee knoweth that by reason of the damage aforesayd
the Imployment did loose a weekes tyme at least, and was deteyned
longer than shee needed to have bin if the sayd damage gad not happened
by at least a weeke, in which tyme (if winde and weather serve) shee
might in probability have made halfe a voyage to Newcastle, And
further hee cannot answere saving hee beleeveth her Owners are
damaged by the sayd stay but to what value hee knoweth not./
To the 19th hee saith the damage predeposed happened meerely by reason
