The 20th day of August 1656/ [CENTRE HEADING]

Examined upon the sayd allegation./

Rp. 6

John Rand of Ratcliff in the parish of Stepney and County
of Middlesex Mariner aged thirty fower yeares or thereabouts
a witness sworne and examined saith and deposeth as followeth videlicet

To the 1: 2: 3: 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th and 9th articles of the sayd allegation.
hee saith that the arlate Captaine John Tottey being returned with his
shipp the Edward and John from the Barbadoes the voyage in question with the goods in question
and his sayd shipp then lying neere Bell wharfe in the River of Thames
did desyre this deponent and Edward Thompson and Thomas Burgis
all Masters of shipps to goe along with him on board the sayd shipp and
there to survay certaine Casks or butts of sugar laden aboard the sayd
shipp at the Barbadoes And this deponent and the sayd Thompson and
Burgis did at his request goe with him upon the twelveth day of July
1656 and being come on board did survey these severall butts following
videlicet one butt number 4 marked as in the margent and to the best
of this deponent and the sayd Thompsons and Burgis their judgement it did
appeare that there had never bin any sugar at all put into the sayd Caske
and soe they did then and hee this deponent still doth verily thinke and
beleeve for that the sayd butt appeared to bee very drye and was well
stowed soe that it sould not be wasted by any not received. And they
did alsoe survey one other butt number six and marked B[with bar over] and an
other butt No 6 and marked EW And an other butt No 2 and marked
64C all which three butts did to this deponent and the sayd Thompson and
Burgis evidently appear to bee the most part of every of them empty
and but a smale quantity of sugar in every of them then remayning
but how the same was gone he knoweth not nor can conceive for that
it appeared to this deponent and the sayd Thompson and Burgis that
all the sayd three butts were very well stowed and Kentlidged and that
noe water soe farr they as could perceive had come to any one of them
And further to these articles he cannot depose./

To the last hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true/

To the Interrogatories./ [CENTRE HEADING]

To the first Interrogatories hee saith he cometh to testifie the truth of
his knowledge in this cause being
required to doe by the producent Captaine Totty who gave this deponent
12 d toward bearing his expenses and more he expecteth not nor is promised
And to the rest of the Interrogatorie hee answereth negatively./

To the second third 4th and 5th Interrogatories he saith he cannot
depose being none of the Company of the shipp Edward and John the voyage
in question nor knowing ought touching the same more than what he hath
before deposed./

To the last hee saith hee knoweth that it is a thing usuall that Masters have
primage and Averidge paid them by their freighters upon voyages from the
Barbadoes, and this deponent hath receaved primage and averidge for voyages
from
