as lowe as Ratcliff Crosse that thereby Masters of shipps and such
as ought to yeild obsedience thereto might take notice thereof, and the
officers imployed by the sayd grauntees (whereof this deponent is one)
did prepare and had prepared in a readinesse great store of good
ballast which was kept in lighters ready for such as had occasion to
use the same which notwithstanding Claes Johnson Master of the
hope of fflushing and his Company did after publication made to
the effect aforesayd take in ballast in the
moneth of November last upon the twenty sixth day thereof of other persons
and not of the sayd Grauntees and their officers although this deponent
and his precontest William Taylor did on the sayd 26th day of November
come to the sayd shipp the hope then lyeing at Colonell Prides Key neere
the hermitage while her company was soe takeing in ballast of other
men and admonished them to forbeare takeing in ballast of any but
the officers imployed by the Grauntees of the sayd office for ballasting
of shipps, and told them that if they did otherwise their shipp would
bee arrested and their Master questioned for the same, but the Company
of the sayd shipp slighted and contemned such monition and sayd they
would goe on with takeing in their ballast whoch their Master had
provided for them or words to that effect and soe accordingly did proceede and tooke in to
the quantitie (as hee beleeveth) of about forty tonne of ballast to the
