Transcription

in question was longer in the performance thereof than otherwise
would have bin (if hee had performed his duty and bin obedient to
Commands of the Supracargo) by some moneths but how many
moneths hee cannot estimate And further hee cannot depose/

To the 27th article hee saith hee verily beleeveth and is perswaded in his
conscience that in case the ship Peace had arrived at the Barbados
being the place whether shee was bound the sayd Woods might there speedily
have sold her ladeing of fish and goods while the same had bin sound
and well conditioned and might have made quicker returnes thence to London
by some moneths soonere than shee did whereas hee saith that of his
knowledge about three thousand weight of the sayd shipps ladeing
of ffish was by keepeing the same soe longe aboard as it was kept
soe damnified that it was heaved over board as worth nothing And
further hee cannot depose./

To the 28th article hee saith that beside the losse the sayd Woods susteyned
by the says shipps being longer out upon the voyage in question than shee
needed to have bin if shee had made her designed Port of the Barbados
(for which tyme hee hath had or is to pay freight) hee beleeveth that the
sayd Woods did susteyne losse in his sale of his three eighth parts of
the sayd shipps ladeing of ffish and other goods which as hee beleeveth did
amount to a considerable summe of money but what to value the same
losse at hee knoweth not And further hee cannot depose/

To the 29th hee saith saving his foregoeing deposition hee cannot depose/

To the 30th hee saiith that the shipp Peace was of this deponents Judgment
of the burthen of two hundred tonnes or better and hee well knoweth
being boatswaine and therefore takeing notice of all her ladeing in his books
that shee came home about halfe dead freighted soe that the arlate
Luke Woods beside the dammage hee susteyned in the sale of his three
eighth parts of the sayd shipps ladeing of fish and other goods did in this
deponents Judgment and estimate suffer losse and dammage in the sayd
shipps want of ladeing home to the value of two hundred pounds
sterling and upwards And further hee cannot depose./

To the 31th article hee saith that the monethly wages of the Master and
Mariners of the Peace and the victualls and provisions by them monthly
spent during the voyage in question did amount to a very considerable
some of money but what to value the same at hee knoweth
not And further cannot depose/

To the 32th article hee saith that at Nevis hee this deponent heard by the
report of severall of the Inhabitants there that the Governour of the
sayd Island and alsoe one Captaine Menton who was and is an
[?eminent] Planter there and is since come over into England would have
laded a very considerable quantitie of goods thence aboard the sayd shipp the
Peace but were deterred and hindered from soe doeing for that they
had both heard of and seene the refractory and disobedient and uncivill carriage
of
