rise against the Master of the sayd shipp and refuse to doe
their dutye therein and to hand the sayles unlesse they might
have two pounds of butter a weeke allowed to them to a [messe GUTTER]
which was halfe a pound of butter to a messe extraordinary, (the
actuall allowance being but a pound and a halfe of butter to a messe
and one Abraham Carr in the behalfe of him selfe and the reste
of the sayd mutineers told the sayd Master in expresse termes
in presence of this deponent and the rest of the sayd shipps Company
that they would not handle a sayle unlesse they might bee allowed
two pounds of butter a weeke to a messe, and reviled this deponent
and called him Rogue and other opprobious termes because hee haveing the ordering of the sayd allowance committed
to him told them that they knew well that the ordinary allowance
was but a pound and a halfe of butter to a messe and that
hee this deponent could not answere it to his principalls the arlate
Mr ffarrington who victualled and manned the sayd shipp if hee did
allowe them any more, but they still persisting wilfully in their demand
of 2li to a messe and refusing to handle the sayles unlesse they might
have such allowance, the Master was thereby forced to allowe them
two pounds of butter a weeke to a messe and did allowe them soe for
all the tyme of the outward bound voyage and untill
about the latter end of May 1655, by which meanes the
arlate Mr ffarington was damnified in expence of butter
more than ordinary to the value of thirty or forty shillings sterling or
thereabouts And further to this article hee cannot depose/

To the second third and fowerth articles of the sayd allegation
hee saith that hee being Purser as a foresayd knoweth
the sayd shipp the George Bonadventure having taken in at
London (among other ladeing) seaven hundred quarters of wheate
did arrive with
the same on board her the voyage in question
at Zant upon or about the three and twentieth day of Aprill 1655 and
was there to deliver the same And saith the sayd Corne of this
deponents sight and knowledge was in the transportation to Zant much
damnified by water taken in through the hatches of the sayd
shipp which was occasioned by the negligence of the Carpenter
of the sayd shipp William Bickley and his Mate their negligence
to calke and keepe the sayd hatches tight, which they omitted to
doe though this deponent (observing the sayd hatches to bee faulty
and want calkeing) did severall tymes speake to them to amend
the same And hee saith that after the sayd shipps arrivall
at Zant with the sayd Corne Nathani[ell GUTTER]
hutchinson Masters mate of the sayd shipp did take as hee told this
deponent take some of the sayd Corne out of a Greekes boate which
had
