Evidence from High Court of Admiralty

John Pearse deposed on June 21st 1655 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on a libel in the case of "Slany and Chappell against Stanliffe".[1]

John Pearse stated that he was "by trade a wine cooper" and "was employed by the said Slany and Chappell in the cooperage of the goods which were brought ashoare from aboard the shipp the George of London. As a result of his employment, he was present when various barrels of "raisins solis" belonging to the plaintiff were taken out of the French Lighter, and knew that they were "much damnifyed by receiving of wett in the sayd lighter." Moreover he tasted the damaged raisins, and discovered that the damage was by fresh water, not salt water. Pearse stated that several days later he was present when Mr Slany showed the damaged raisins to the owner of the lighter "at his house in Southwarke" and the owner "did not at all deny the said goods being dammaged in and by the sayd lighter." Pearse insisted that the damage to the raisins was as a result of the insufficiency of the lighter.[2]
