received the foresaid Water in hold, by reason of her said Bilging
there were two barrells of good Gunpowder, some Match Paper
and other gunners store abord the said ship in her powder roome
all which was very wet, and almost quite spoiled, And saith
that the said damage that happened to the said Powder Match
Paper, and Gunners Store, by reason of the said Bilging, did
amount unto tenne pounds sterling, or neere thereabouts.
This hee knoweth being Gunner of the said ship the Warewell
the said time, and further cannot depose./

To the 6th hee saith that by reason of the said bilging the

Labourers and workmen in haleing her to shore and
unladeing her, more than shee would have cost in unlading
in the River of Thames, had not the said Damage happened
but Cannot estimate the said dammage, and further hee
cannot depose.

the Warewell was bilged did as this deponent verily beleeveth
belong unto a Certaine Dutch ship there lying, (but her

of such his beleefe is for that the halser of the said

the said Anchor, and upon the weighing up of the said Anchor
they found that one of the flookes of the said Anchor was broken and
the shanke and the other fflooke bent. And further Cannot depose

To the 10th and 11th hee saith the said Anchor belonging to the said
Dutch ship. and whereupon the said ship the Warewell was (as
hee verily beleeveth) bilged as aforesaid was case and did
lye in a very Convenient Place for ships birthes, and saith
that Masters of shipps doe not use to cast their Anchors in such
places. neither ought they soe to doe, by the Custome
used and observed in the River of Thames, and are by the Lawes
