and was then as neere the south shoare as conveniently shee could goe
above sixteene foote water, And hee this deponent beleeveth that what damage
happened to the Mary arlate the same happened meerely by the fault and
neglect of her owne Company, and not through any fault of the Master and Company
of the ffreeman, for that they gave them tymely and sufficient notice to put
their sayd shipp a stayes which if they had done or used their endeavour as
they ought to have done and might have done, hee is well assured the damage in
question could not have happened this hee deposeth being an eye witnesse and
one of the Company and on board the ffreeman while the premisses were acted and
done in manner predeposed And further to these articles hee cannot depose./

To the 4th hee saith that in case the Company of the ffreeman did cut any of the
tackle of the Mary (which this deponent knoweth not) yet the same was necessaarily
done to prevent the sayd ffreeman and her ladeing from being runne on shoare and damnified by
the sayd Marye her running fowle of her And further hee cannot depose/

To the last hee saith as is predeposed that the master and Company of the Mary
the tyme predeposed of instead of putting their shipp a stayes did
brace her mayne topsale with the weather brace and put their helme a weather
which was the direct course in this deponents Judgement to runne athwart the
ffreeman And further hee cannot depose/

To the Interrogatories./ [CENTRE HEADING]

Suckley

To the first Interrogatorie hee saith hee was required by Captaine John Whittie Com=
mander of the ffreeman to come and testifie the truth of his knowledge in this
cause, and saith hee was one of the Company and Cooper of the ffreeman the tyme Interrogated
and saith the Mary came fowle of the ffreeman in manner predeposed in the forenoone
when the tyde was about half fludd And further hee cannot answere/

To the second hee saith hee hath receaved his whole wages due for the voyage Interrogated
save thirty shillings which is deteyned by the owners from him and the like from some
others of the Company of the sayd shipp which money is deteyned by the Owners
for certayne tobaccoes which appeareth by the pursers and boatswaines bookes were laded
aboard the ffreeman at Virginia and not found aboard at her unladeing at London
And otherwise hee cannot answere having never heard of any such resolution or
declaration as is Interrogate./

To the last hee saith that hee this deponent and one Peter Wittie and one driver and this
deponents contests George Putt and Edward King and others of the Company of
the ffreeman did call out to the Company of the Mary to put their shipp a stayes
and alsoe told them that the ffreeman would keepe to the Southward (the Mary being then
to the Northwards at a good distance and soe farr as that shee might well have avoided
falling fowle of the ffreeman if her the sayd Maryes company had done their
true endeavour soe to doe, but what answere the Company of the Mary made hee remembreth
not, but saith they might easily have put her a stayes if they pleased, and saith
the boltspritt of the ffreeman was by the meanes aforesayd entangled in the mayne
stay of the Mary and brake downe her mayne mast and damnified her but
to what value hee knoweth not And further cannot depose./
