therefore is fully convinced in conscience that the sayd Cowse
by the sayd Keene his delivery of the sayd goods Schedulate at Saint
Lucar and not bringing them to Palma (according as by bill of
ladeing it appeared to this deponent hee was bound to doe) hath suffered
great losse and dammage especially in the Aurellas
Cheynies and ffloramides Schedulate being (in all forty peeces of Norwich
stuffs) which by reason they could not bee sold at Saint Lucars were
afterwards transported for Palma, and the sayd Cowse his Agents
being forced to pay three, (if not fower) severall Customes for the
sayd stuffes, beside severall other charges, (this deponent him selfe
paying one of the sayd Customes in the Island of Palma and Mr
John Lasby an other of Cowse his Correspondents an other Customes
for the sayd stuffs in the Island of Teneriff, beside the customes paid
at Saint Lucar for them) and hee knoweth that the sayd Cowse by the sayd
stuffes being landed at Saint Lucar and afterwards of necessitie being transported
to Palma did suffer other losse and dammage alsoe for that after this
deponent had sold a part of them at Palma hee this deponent by
reason of the Imbargo upon Englishmens estates occasioned by
the warrs betwixt England and Spaine (which broke out before hee this
deponent could dispose of the sayd stuffes) could never recover any thing
for them of those hee had sold them to, soe that the
sayd Cowse was of this deponents knowledge damnified in the
sale of the sayd stuffes only, at the least fifty pounds sterling by
the meanes aforesayd but what his further dammage was hee
this deponent cannot estimate And further to this article hee
cannot depose./
To the 8th article hee saith that this deponent being the tyme arlate the
Correspondent of the sayd James Cowse at Santa Cruse and
having also in the behalfe of his this deponents father Elias Watson a third part of the Tonnage taken by the sayd Cowse in the shipp
the John and Elizabeth aforesayd (where of the sayd Keene was Master) for
the voyage in question, the sayd Cowse did by letters of advice signifie to this
deponent that hee the sayd Cowse had taken tonnage for threescore tonnes
in the sayd shipp, videlicet forty tonnes for him selfe the sayd Cowse, and twenty
tonnes for the sayd Elias Watson senior this deponents father, and gave
order to this deponent by the sayd letters to provide one hundred and
twenty pipes of wine to be laden from Palma to England on the sayd
vessell in the tonnage taken in her as aforesayd, to come thense for the Port of
London for Accompt of him the sayd James Cowse, and the sayd Elias
Watson senior, (that is to saye) eighty pipes for Accompt of the sayd
James Cowse and forty pipes for Account of the sayd Elias Watson
senior, which wines this deponent in expectation of the comming of the
sayd shipp to the Island of Palma did accordingly provide for the
severall Accompts aforesayd, and would have laden aboard if shee
had come thither, but the sayd shipp not comming thither this deponent
was forced /after hee had kept the sayd wines five moneths and upwards)
by reason of the sayd Keenes not coming to take them in and lade them and noe other
oportunitie
