could not have bene receovered to be made … could not have bene receovered to be made fitt for this deponents use, and<br />
there upon was resolved not to buy it. But saith he was present upon the day<br />
of the sale thereof and of other parcells of Corne by the Candle by<br />
the Commissioners for prize goods arlate, who then publiquely<br />
according to the nature of that sale did putt off and sell the sayd<br />
wheat to Mr Vincent his precontest but for howmuch in certayne he<br />
att present remembreth not, but for about 19. or 20 shillings per [?quarter]<br />
he taketh it, and saith the sayd Mr Vincent did bid and give more<br />
for the sayd wheat than this deponent durst adventure to bid or<br />
give for it, and beleiveth he gave the full and utmost worth<br />
of it if not more. And saith moreover that of the observation of this<br />
deponent the foresayd Commissioners for prize goods doe ordinarily<br />
and usually sell their prize goods att a true balue and many<br />
tymes at a higher value than the merchants can sell goods of<br />
like kind and quality in their warehowses, and sometymes<br />
to the losse and dammage of the Buyers to very considerable summes<br />
of money, the experience whereof this deponent hath both himselfe<br />
felt and seene in others. And saith that in or about July last<br />
past good sound English wheat might have bene<br />
bought about London for .4. [?nubles] the quarter or thereabouts [?that]<br />
reverted aby dammage, and for use neere halfe so [?XXX]<br />
againe as the wheat in queation. and att present the like good sound<br />
English wheat may be and is bought about London for about 20.<br />
or 22 shillings the quarter. And further cannot depose saving<br />
he beleiveth that the Corne in question if it had not bene removed<br />
out of the sayd shipp as it was but had continued in the shipp 3 or 4<br />
weekes longer would have bene in a farr worse condition than it<br />
was either for sale or use, and would in probability have bene<br />
much more dammaged.
To the Crosse Interrogatories.
To the .1. 2 and 3. Interrogatories. he saith he knoweth nothing thereof
To the .4. he saith the wheat aforesayd might as he beleiveth have<br />
bene helped by turnig and airing and made merchantable<br />
but not have bene recovered into a perfect good condition. And<br />
otherwise saving his foregoeing depositions cannot depose.
