deponents mynde and will did loosen the roapes wherewith the sayd open
lighter was fastned to the sayd shippp syde and vered her downe by the sayd shipps side more twowards the
sterne of the shipp to make roome for the cloase lyter to lye where the sayd
open lighter did and the sayd mate sayd they would lade noe more goods into the sayd
open lighter till the next morning and willed this deponent to make
her well fast a sterne of the shipp whether they had vered her
and told this deponent that hee and the shipps company would take care
of her till next morning and willed this deponent and the sayd Purse
to come very early the next morning to take in the rest of the ladeing
which was to be laden on board the sayd open lyter, and thereupon the sayd
shipps company fell to ladeing of the sayd Cloase lighter it being layd where the open lighter formerly lay and laded
her fully and sent her away that night by the next tyde as hee beleeveth for that hee sawe her betymes in the next morning with her ladeing at Galley Key but the sayd shipps Company refused
to put any more ladeing on board the sayd open lighter that night, whereupon

was a stronge staunch and sufficient lighter and fitt to carrye Cotton woolls
and such goods as were put into her and noe way leakie or insufficient./

To the sixth hee saith that what damage happened to the goods laden aboard
the sayd open lighter happened not by any defect or insufficiency of
the sayd lyter but soe happened after this deponent and the sayd Purse had
left her under the care and custody of the Company of the shipp Smirna
ffactor who tooke upon them the care thereof as aforesayd by whose negligence and default the damage controverted happened
as this deponent verily beleeveth And further hee cannot depose./

of whome this deponent hath heard the arlate Captaine
