deponents judgement really worth the summe of eight hundred pounds sterling
or thereabouts, shee being a new-built flye boate of the burthen of
80 Tunn's or thereabouts. The premisses hee deposeth, and for reason of
his judgement saith, hee knoweth that the said William Beck had been offered
three hundred pounds for his said shipp before hee bestowed upon her last
reparation or new makeing at Shoreham aforesaid, which was there generally
estimated at 200: li sterling more; besides her new tackle apparrell and furniture
and the provisions of Victualls and goods aboard her at the time of her said
seizure, which hee in conscience beleeveth to have been really worth three
hundred pounds more or thereabouts, this deponent having been Master and Owner
of a shipp himselfe, and having long time used navigation and thereby knowne
and observed what belongeth to shipping and whereabout the worth of such as shipp may be
And further cannot depose; saving hee beleeveth, the said William Beck by
meanes of the said seizure and detention of his said shipp, and
consequently the losse of his time and employment hath undoubtedly been much
damnified, but to what value, this deponent hee doeth not know
neither can hee estimate the same:/.

her tackle apparrell furniture provisions and goods aboard her at the

shipps, and saw and observed the shipp aforesaid to be a shipp of the burthen
of neere upon one hundred Tunns being newly rebuilt at Shoreham aforesaid
