or negligence of or in the said Thomas Grove,
or any of his Company. And further Cannot
Depose./.

To the 18th hee Cannot depose./:

To the 19th hee saith that the said Thomas Grove
did not during the whole voyage (as this deponent
knoweth of) refuse to deliver any Merchants gppds
saving a small parcell, which was Consigned to a Merchant in Plymouth which the said Grove refused to doe
in regard of the said merchant would not pay his Primage and average for the same as is usuall in such Cases
But the said goods were afterwards delivered to the said Merchant
And saith the said Grove did not cause the said Ship after her
Returne to Plymouth. to stay and remaine there
a moneth or any other time longer than shee needed
to have done, but the said Grove did use all Care Dilligence
