cannot answer.
To the 8th hee saith hee was upon arbitrion to allow to Captaine Wills Commander<br />
of a shipp the ''Good Successe'' wherein hee was concerned as part owner the summe of eightie<br />
mil Res, and to some others some such gratuities have bin by him and<br />
company of owners given according to the qualitie of the shipp, but<br />
the summes hee remembreth not. And otherwise hee cannot answer.
To the 9th hee beleeveth there is none of the said average due<br />
to the masters, in Brazila voyages, and that the reason of<br />
treating before hand with the master of the ''Hanibal'' for his not<br />
expecting any of the said average, was to prevent<br />
any future disputes thereabouts, understanding that the average for such voyage<br />
had bin unduely determined by a Commander from other owners,<br />
namely by the interrogated dobbins, and otherwsie hee cannot answer<br />
saving as aforesaid.
To the 10th hee saith it is usuall for owners finding the master<br />
to have bin at extraordinary charges in following the shipps<br />
busines ashore in the said voyage, to allow him some consideration<br />
for the same, towards such charges, sometimes more and<br />
sometimes lesse, and some consideration hath likewise bin had<br />
for allowing some wine and such provisions for the voyage, And<br />
otherwise hee cannot answer saving as aforesaid.
To the 11th hee saith that the primage or average due in<br />
the severall parts and places interrogated is paid according to the custome<br />
of the place, and voyages, but howe much hee knoweth<br />
not certainly, being in some places more and some lesse. And<br />
otherwise hee cannot answer saving as aforesaid.
To the Interrogatories in the second place. [CENTRE HEADING]
To the first and second hee saith that as hee hath heard and beleeveth<br />
his brother John Bushell did as aforesaid in or about the yeare 1650 interrogated<br />
help to let the interrogated Captaine Ell and Captaine Tatam<br />
their shipps to freight for Brazila from Lisborne by Charterpartie<br />
, but the conditions or particulars<br />
of the content or agreement for the said voyage hee remembreth not,<br />
nor knoweth that hee hath seene the Charterparties or<br />
copies thereof for the said voyage by the said shipps or any other<br />
of the foure shipps interrogated. And otherwise cannot answer.
To the third hee saith the foresaid Captaine Wills went the foresaid<br />
voyage (wherein this deponent was to make him the foresaid<br />
allowance upon arbitation) in the yeare 1648, or thereabouts to the<br />
Brazila, and that hee and his said brother were concerned therein<br />
as part owners, and that some difference arising betweene his said brother<br />
and the said Captaine upon his pretending to the average, the matter was<br />
referred to arbitation, and the said 80 mill res awarded to the said Captaine<br />
thereby. And otherwise hee cannot answer.
