the arlate William Croford and company did refuse to take them
aboard for that they had taken in their full ladeing before they came And
the sayd Croford told those of his shipps Crue who had brought those
hogsheads from the sayd Bellingers storehouse (which as they sayd they
brought by his earnest importunitie contrary to their owne desyne for that
they knew the shipp to be fully laden before, and for that the sayd Bellinger
as they sayd told them they should not goe away with their shallopp aboard
the shipp without takeing those hogsheads of his with them) that hee could
not take them aboard for the reason aforesayd and soe they remayned
in the shallopp by the shipp side for two dayes and a night And then the sayd
Bellinger came him selfe aboard the said shipp and asked the Company
thereof why his goods were not taken aboard whereto they replyed that
the shipp was fully laden before their comming and therefore they could not
bee taken aboard her whereupon the sayd Bellinger desyred to speake with
their Captaine, and the Captaine being called came upon the deck to
the sayd Bellinger and the sayd Bellinger asked the sayd Captaine Croford

of the sayd persons and others of the shipps company answered that the sayd
shipp was fully laden before they came and that shee had as many goods
aboard as shee could well carrie, and that if hee should take any
more goods aboard then what hee had before they came jee must bee
forced if hee mett with stormie weather or Enemyes in his passage for
England to heave them overboard and therefore desyred the sayd Bellinger
not to put them aboard or to that effect which notwithstanding the sayd
Bellinger told the sayd Croford that hee must needes take them aboard
and should take them and that if they came to any dammage thereby hee
the sayd Bellinger would bee contracted to beare the losse thereof or
words to that effect This hee deposeth being present and hearing the same
spoken And well knowing that the sayd shipp was fully laden before
the sayd hogsheads came to be laden aboard her for that to satisfie
the importunitie of the sayd Bellinger the sayd hogsheads being taken on
board were faine to be stowed betweene decks in the gunne roome and
bu the gunne roomes doore this hee knoweth for that hee helped alsoe to
stowe them And further hee cannot depose/

To the 6th 7th and 8th articles of the sayd allegation hee saith that the sayd
Croford and Company having (by the sayd Bellinger his importunitie
and by reason of his promise to beare what losse should come to the sayd sugars
thereby) taken aboard the sayd shipp the sayd eight hogsheads of sugar

27th dayes in soe much that the shipps longe boate was staved lying upon her
deck by the force of the sea beating over the shipp and the shipp and her ladeing
and
