William Lease of Alborough in Suffolke Mariner
aged about 40ty years, a wittnes produced sworne and
examined deposeth as followeth.

To the first and second articles of the sayd allegation he
deposeth and saith that he was Masters Mate of the shipp
the Rose of Alborough, which shipp the Rose was in Galliats
reach arlate when the damadge in controversy was done by
the shipp the ffreeman unto the arlate Shipp the Mary
and that the Rose was soe neare unto both the sayd shipps the
Mary and the ffreeman that she could well see and observe all
the passages that happened between the sayd shipps, And
he deposeth and saith that the shipp the Mary was then
comming up the River working with a contrary wind, and
the ffreeman as much as she could, by bearing to the
South Shore and leaving the Channell to the ffreeman, soe
that the ffreeman might (as he sayth) have gone very
safely by the Mary and not have toucht her if she the
Company of the ffreeman had pleasd, the sayd place the
Galliats reach being a broad place, and the tide being
then about an houre of high water, Yet not withstanding [XX GUTTER]
the Mary did to avoyd the ffreeman, the ffreeman did in
this deponents sight runn upon the Mary in a [?strange GUTTER]
and willfull manner, and he saith that he the deponent [?saw GUTTER]
how and with what violense it was done, did verily beleeveth
the Mary was sinking and did therfore with his precontest
William ffiske and Edward knights hasten aboard the Mary
to helpe her, and he saith that being aboard her he found
that the ffreeman had ranne on board the very midshipps of
the Mary, and that the bolt spritt of the ffreeman had
runne against the mayne mast of the Mary with such
force that it did breake the Marys maine Mast into three
peeces and carryed all the Masts, sayles and rigging by the
board and that the stemm of the freeman rann into the
side of the Mary and broake her downe to the water, and [?that GUTTER]
in all probability if the boltspritt of the ffreeman had not GUTTER
runn against the Mast of the Mary, the ffreeman had sent
the Mary downe right under her, and her men would [?have GUTTER]
bin in great danger of drowning. And he saith [?that GUTTER]
of his the deponents certaine knowledge a great many of [?the GUTTER]
people, who saw the passages predeposed, did all [??resent GUTTER]
the Company of the ffreeman for their willfull
damaging the Mary. And further he cannot depose.

To the third and fourth articles he cannot depose.

To the last he saith his former deposition is true.

To the Interrogatoryes./ [CENTRE HEADING]

To the first Interrogatory he answereth that he commeth to
testify in this cause at the request of Robert Yaxeley, and
that it was a little before noone when the damage interrate
was done, And to the rest negatively.

To the 2d Interrogatory he answereth that the sayd shipps rigging was
at the time interrate not new, yet very good (he beleeveth
that the greatest part was quite spoylt, and made [?utterly GUTTER]
unserviseable, And otherwise being not of the shipp
the Mary her Company he cannot answeare./

Repeated with his precontest before doctor Godolphin./.

William [?Lee GUTTER] [SIGNATURE, RH SIDE]
