is truely signed And firmed with the proper hand writeing of this rendent
in conformity to his booke, and usuall manner of this rendents firming to
bills of lading, videlicet (the contents I know not) which words are not expressed
in the other pretended bill of lading sett on foot by the said Hubbart And
saith the said Hubbart came as aforesaid passenger in the said shipp from
New England, but that this rendent neither there nor in their Course
towards London signed him any bill or bills of ladeing for the barrill of goods
marked as aforesaid, neither did hee so farr as hee remembreth signe any
other bills of ladeing at Sea to any other passenger in the said shipp, but saith
that this rendent being gone with his said shipp the said voiage to the
Gore upon the Coast of England was visited with extremity of sicknesse
whereby hee became senselesse of what hee did, and therefore as to that
time cannot tell what might bee obtruded upon him to be signed by the said
Hubbart, to whom hee this rendent being in his right under standing never
did nor had any reason to signe any bill or bills for the barrill of goods
marked as aforesaid, which hee very well knowe to be the usuall
marke of the said Jacob Sheafe, and accordingly had entered the same in
his booke to be delivered to the said Henry Ashurst his the said Sheafes
Correspondent here in London./

To the 8th hee referreth himselfe to his foregoeing deposition. And further
cannot depose, not knowing nor remembring that ever hee saw any of the said
pretended bills of lading, saye onely one, which hee first saw here in London.
in the hands of the said Hubbart, neither did hee, so farr as hee remembreth
ever receive any such summe as is interrate for primage and averidge of
the said barrill from the said Hubbart./..

To the 9th hee saith, That since the said shipps arrivall in the River of
London the said Robert Hubbart by himselfe or his procurement hath
unduely received the said barrill of goods out of the said shipp which
this rendent was sick, but saith hee this rendent hath received no freight for the same
but beleeveth that one of his Owners Agents hath received freight for
the same, and that the said Hubbart still unduely possesseth, hath
unduely disposed of the said goods./

To the 10th hee answereth not, being therein excepted./
