Examined upon the sayd allegation

Rp. 2

Thomas Bennett of Ratcliff in the parish of Stepney
and County of Middlesex Mariner aged forty yeares
or thereabouts a wittnesse sworne and examined saith
and deposeth as followeth videlicet./

To the 1: 2: 3: 4th 5th and 6th articles of the sayd allegation hee saith
that hee this deponent and his precontest John Norbrooke did by the
entreaty of Captaine Tottey goe aboard the Edward and John in the River
of Thames and tooke view of one butt of sugar marked as in the margent
and upon view found that although the same appeared to bee well stowed, yet
about 3/4th of the
sugar was wanteing therein and knoweth that one Mr davids to whome
the sayd Butt of sugar was consigned did abate the sayd Tottey out
of freight of other goods brought for him the sayd davies in the sayd shipp
the voyage in question in liew of the sayd sugar soe wanting in the sayd
butt, the summe of five pounds sterling beside the freight of the sayd
butt which accounted to about forty shillings more but by what
meanes the sayd dammage happened hee knoweth not And further to
these articles hee cannot depose./

To the 7th article of the sayd allegation hee saith hee well remembreth
that upon the 25th day of June 1656 the arlate John Tolley meeting this
deponent upon the Exchange London in Company with Captaine John Elliott
told this deponent and the sayd Elliott that his the sayd Tolleys shipp the
Edward and John was returned from the Barbadoes and lay neeere
Greenwich in the River of Thames and that his freighters had some of them sent
for their goods and that his Company were in a mutinie and refused
to obey his Commands and to deliver the sayd goods and desyred this deponent
and the sayd Elliott to goe with him on board the sayd Shipp which at
his request they that day did and coming aboard found a lighter lying
by her side ready to receave goods, and some goods in her, and this deponent
speakeing to the sayd shipps company demanded of them why they would not
obey their Masters Command and unlade the sayd shipp and asked which
of them it was that did denye to unlade the sayd goods whereto one of
the Company (which as this deponent afterwards by the sayd Totty understood
was the Cooper of the shipp) answered in behalfe of him selfe and the
rest and sayd one and all, and the Boatswaine and one Turpin the Masters second mate presently after
comming on board this deponent asked them alsoe why they and the rest
of the sayd shipps company would not deliver the goods from on board
into the lighter according to their Masters Command and they both
answered that they would not deliver any till a survey were made
the goods
and those things were soe spoken in the presense a{nd}
hearing of this deponent and the sayd Elliott and Tottey And thereupon
the sayd Elliott Tottey and this deponent being gone from on board and in a
boate the sayd Boateswaine held up his head and called out to them and sayd that the tackle
of the sayd shipp shipp should not bee overhawled nor noe goods delivered
from aboard the sayd shipp And further to this article hee cannot depose/
