was done to the Minories Busse by anyone, though mention bee in them
made of other Busses which the sayd Corporation alsoe had and of the

necessarie and repayred and men hyred to goe in her for a fishing
voyage) was by the Corporation appointed to goe Master of her but was
to have noe wages of them for the same but only a share of such fish
as should be taken by her and told this deponent that
hee the sayd John Keech had noe thing to doe nor did speake
to or imploye anybody about repayring the sayd Busse nor take up
any materialls of any person whatsoever toward the same or pay
for any materialls, or wages of any hyred to doe the same repayres but that
the sayd Busse was fitted with all things for her voyages and manned
before hee the sayd John Keech came on board of her as Master/
