livers and upwards ffrench money, and verily beleeveth that upon occasion of such a
disaster the preservation and reparation as aforesaid could not amount to
any lesse summe. And further hee cannot depose.

To the 14th hee saith that the said shipp being soe repaired as aforesaid
the said Aquavite's were reladen on board her, and brought and delivered
at this Port of London to the Merchant Proprietors thereof as hee bel[?eeveth GUTTER]

To the 15th hee saith, That if the said Aquavites were dammnified then this
was occasioned by the said shipps disastrous bilging, and that by the same
Pilotts wilfullness or improvidence, the said shipp of this deponents certaine
knowledge being before the disaster very tight and stanch and sufficient
as a shipp need to bee:-/ And otherwise hee cannot depose:-

To the 16: 17: and 18th Articles hee saith hee beleeveth, That the arlate
Andrew kirby is an Englishman, this deponent having credibly heard soe, and
otherwise referring himselfe to the Acts and proceedings of this Court, and to the
Lawes and Jurisdiction thereof, hee cannot further depose/

To the Last hee saith his foregoing deposition is true.

To the crosse Interrogatories [CENTRE HEADING]

To the first hee saith, That hee cometh to depose the trueth of his knoweldge [?of GUTTER]
this matter at the request of the said Monsieur Eleazar le Merchaut, and
hath noe part nor interest in this Controversy nor shipp, And otherwise
negatively:

To the second hee saith, this examinate was as aforesaid Pilott of the said
shipp the voyage in question, and saith hee is satisfyed and payd all his wages
due for the same./

To the third hee saith, hee this examinate was not present at the giving of the
order interrogate nor saw an Charterpartie for the said voyage, nor knoweth
any thing thereof, And further saving his foregoing deposition he saith hee
cannot depose; saving hee beleeveth the said Le Merchaut or any other [?Master GUTTER]
of a shipp is of necessitie to obey the orders of his freightors and of their
Assignes or Consignataries.

To the fourth hee saith, That hee this examinate did not see any money payd
for the saving of the said Aquavites, and saith the preservation thereof
without any reference to the said shipps, the same being full of water, [?was GUTTER]
at the first accompted irrecoverable, and soe much hee saith was and
is notorious amongst the said shipps companie/

To the fifth hee saith hee verily beleeveth, That if the said shipp had
continued at the place where shee first anchored as abovesaid, the [?damage GUTTER]
interrate had not happened, the roade there being much more spatious
and commodious, than that place to which the said shipp was brought by
the said Pilott by the order as aforesaid, where shee bilged and
suffered the disaster aforesaid by meanes of the various of the rocks and sandbanks

To the 6th hee saith, hee did not heare any such order given as is
interrate, not being ashore at that time with the said Gazeau and
Le Merchaut, And further to this Interrogatorie hee cannot depose other
or further than hee hath predeposed, to which hee referreth himselfe.
