Transcription

and saith that Brazile though hot, is not an unhealthie climate
as hee hath heard by those that have gonne thither, And otherwise hee
cannot answer.

To the 8th hee saith hee was upon arbitrion to allow to Captaine Wills Commander
of a shipp the Good Successe wherein hee was concerned as part owner the summe of eightie
mil Res, and to some others some such gratuities have bin by him and
company of owners given according to the qualitie of the shipp, but
the summes hee remembreth not. And otherwise hee cannot answer.

To the 9th hee beleeveth there is none of the said average due
to the masters, in Brazila voyages, and that the reason of
treating before hand with the master of the Hanibal for his not
expecting any of the said average, was to prevent
any future disputes thereabouts, understanding that the average for such voyage
had bin unduely determined by a Commander from other owners,
namely by the interrogated dobbins, and otherwsie hee cannot answer
saving as aforesaid.

To the 10th hee saith it is usuall for owners finding the master
to have bin at extraordinary charges in following the shipps
busines ashore in the said voyage, to allow him some consideration
for the same, towards such charges, sometimes more and
sometimes lesse, and some consideration hath likewise bin had
for allowing some wine and such provisions for the voyage, And
otherwise hee cannot answer saving as aforesaid.

To the 11th hee saith that the primage or average due in
the severall parts and places interrogated is paid according to the custome
of the place, and voyages, but howe much hee knoweth
not certainly, being in some places more and some lesse. And
otherwise hee cannot answer saving as aforesaid.

To the Interrogatories in the second place. [CENTRE HEADING]

To the first and second hee saith that as hee hath heard and beleeveth
his brother John Bushell did as aforesaid in or about the yeare 1650 interrogated
help to let the interrogated Captaine Ell and Captaine Tatam
their shipps to freight for Brazila from Lisborne by Charterpartie
, but the conditions or particulars
of the content or agreement for the said voyage hee remembreth not,
nor knoweth that hee hath seene the Charterparties or
copies thereof for the said voyage by the said shipps or any other
of the foure shipps interrogated. And otherwise cannot answer.

To the third hee saith the foresaid Captaine Wills went the foresaid
voyage (wherein this deponent was to make him the foresaid
allowance upon arbitation) in the yeare 1648, or thereabouts to the
Brazila, and that hee and his said brother were concerned therein
as part owners, and that some difference arising betweene his said brother
and the said Captaine upon his pretending to the average, the matter was
referred to arbitation, and the said 80 mill res awarded to the said Captaine
thereby. And otherwise hee cannot answer.

Repeated befored Colonel Cock.

Ed. Bushell [SIGNATURE, RH SIDE]
