with the Masters Mate and the Boatswaine and Cooper of the sayd
shipp Katherine and asked them in what condition they thought the
sayd Bonells peeces of oyle which they had aboard were, in, whereto
every of them replyed thus or the like in effect that they feared that
there was great losse in them by leakage for they had leaked ever
since the sayd shipp came out of the Streights mouth which was
as they sayd about thirty dayes before this deponent came soe to
enquire about them, whereupon this deponent asked them why they
did not save the oyle that they had pumped out ever since they came
from the streights mouth whereto they answered that there was
a difference betweene the Master of the Catherine and his Company
and that they did not owe the Master soe much service as to save
the same, for they did not know whether they should get any
wages of him or not for the sayd voyage, whereto this deponent
answered and told them it was a usuall thing to save pumpe oyle
and that they had done ill not to save [it] and that hee feared
they would suffer dammage by it whereto they answered that
they did not much valew it, for the Company was in a desperate
Condition concerneing their wages and had bin at difference
with the Master most part of the voyage And further to this article
hee cannot depose./
To the 4th article hee saith that after the arivall of the Catherine and
her being as aforesayd at Anchor neere Blackwall and after this deponent
soe came aboard her as aforesayd to enquire concerning the sayd oyles
the arlate Younge and company did deteyne and keepe the sayd oyles
of the sayd Mr Bonnell aboard his shipp for about fowerteene dayes
after this deponent soe came to enquire after them, before the same
were delivered from aboard the sayd shipp, which occasioned a great
part of the leakeage which happened to the sayd oyles, and was alsoe
of this deponents knowledge a great hindrance to the sayd Bonnell
in the price of the sayd oyles for that in those fowerteene
dayes tyme the price of oyle was of this deponents knowl;edge
much fallen And further hee cannot depose./
To the 5th saving his foregeoing deposition hee cannot depose/
To the last hee saith his foregeoing deposition is true/
To the Interrogatories [CENTRE HEADING]

the sayd Bonnell as his Cooper, as hee is also by many other
Merchants and hath noe other relation to him And further saving his
foregoeing deposition hee cannot answere not being present at the
ladeing of the oyles in question./
