worked when shee was soe seized being showed unto this deponent
and the rest of the surveyors aforesayd by the sayd Jones and Mark=

then the sayd Pryors Channell by the sayd banke of nynty
three foote broade and the breath of the sayd Ewens her Channell which is
fifty fower foote broade,) is not withstanding distant from the sayd
Mrs Ewens her wharfe one hundred and sixteene foote, for that
as a foresayd, the place where (as the sayd Jones and Markature affirmed the
sayd Pryors lighter lay at worke when seized) is distant from the sayd
Mrs Ewens her wharfe two hundred sixty three foote as aforesayd, And

part is noe low waterman, nor lighter man, nor was ever imployed about
takeing up of ballast nor hath any share in any lighters of the sayd Pryors
