in the sea) arrived at Virginia from Barbadas with ballast and a

thereof nor ought of the letter or order therein mentioned.

To the seaventh hee saith that the said shipp staid at Virginia about or
neere five monethes and then not getting a freight for other place

to get one) set saile for England with lesse than one third part of
her lading, namely with neere two hundred hogsheads of tobaccoes, and saith

tonnes or thereabouts, And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the eighth hee saith that the said Jeggles having at Virginia
received goods aboard to be delivered at Gallaway in Ireland upon freight,
put in thither to deliver the same in his comming for England, and

there, and the rest was occasioned by contrary winde, And otherwise
hee cannot depose./
