words importing the like in effect And further hee cannot depose
To the 8th article hee saith that after the seizure of the Endeavour as
aforesayd hee heard the said Chirurgion, boatswaine and others
of the sayd de La Roch his company saye that they were to have
gone to Lisbon in Portugall to provide them selves of wines for
their voyage but were prevented of soe doeing by Crosse windes
and thereupon steered their Course for the Coast of the Canaries
being sure (as they sayd) at that tyme of the yeare to meete with shipps
upon that Coast laden with wines And further to this article hee
cannot depose./
To the 9th and 10th articles of the said allegation hee saith that hee well
knoweth being a sufferer therein that the sayd de La Roch and
Company at the tyme of the surprizall of the Endeavour plundered
all her Company of their cloathes and left them only the worst of them
to cover their nakednesse and tooke away all their Sea Instruments and
private adventures which cloathes Sea Instruments and private Adven-
tures soe plundered were in this deponents Judgment and estimate worth three hundred and
fifty pounds sterling at least, and the sayd ship Endeavour and her [?tackle GUTTER]
apparrell and furniture at her seizure afoursayd was in this deponents
Judgment well worth six hundred pounds and better of like money And
what her Companies wages did then amount unto hee cannot estimate./
To the 11th hee saith that the wines seized in the Endeavour were at the
tyme of their seizure very choice and good wines, and as hee verily
beleeveth and is persuaded in his conscience were the best sorte of wynes which
came from the Canaries in the yeare 1655 and would have yeilded
as hee verily beleeveth (if they had come safe to the Cittie of London,) at the
least thirty pounds sterling a pipe cleare of all charges And the reason
of such his beleefe is for that since his comming to London hee hath [XXX GUTTER]
heard severall Merchants of London of very good worth and quality [?say GUTTER]
that in the moneths of November And december 1655 they solde [?good GUTTER]
Canarie wines in London at thirty three pounds sterling a pipe And
further to this article hee cannot depose /
To the 12th hee saith hee is verily persuaded that the arlate Jope
and Company beside the losse of their principall are damnified [?by GUTTER]
the want thereof to make use of and in their losse of tyme and imployment
occasioned by the seizure of the sayd shipp and ladeing two
hundred pounds sterling at the least besides their sayd principall And
the arlate Oxwick and Company Owners of the Endeavour for want of
their sayd ship and freight thereof are damnified to a great value [XXX GUTTER]
their principall, but what to estimate their dammage at hee knoweth not
And further hee cannot depose./
To the 13th hee saith hee is verily persuaded in his conscience and beleeveth that
the arlate Baker and Company by reason of the seizure and losse of their sayd [XXX GUTTER]
have bin and are damnified for want of the moneys they would have
yeilded if they had come safe to London to use in the way of trade the sum[?me GUTTER]
of two thousand pounds sterling besides their principall And further to this article hee
cannot depose /
