she had undoubtedly come to a good markett … she had undoubtedly come to a good markett for hee saith that in the<br />
monethes of September October and November <u>1655.</u> Irish herrings<br />
well conditioned did yeild in the sayd Island eighty ryalls per barrells<br />
or thereabouts, and Irish beefe well conditioned did yeild a Ryall<br />
per pound or thereabouts, and pipestaves of Ireland did yeild<br />
after the rate of a thousand ryalls per thousand or thereabouts, and<br />
so much and after that proportion the sayd Lading of the ''Little<br />
Mary'' (provided the same had come well conditioned) would then and<br />
there have yeilded. which hee knoweth for that he was in the sayd<br />
monethes in and upon the sayd Island and well saw and observed<br />
the currant price of such commodities. And otherwise hee ćannot depose
To the 16th article of the sayd Libell This deponent saith, that the quantity of<br />
goods sayd to be laden in the ''Little Mary'' att Waxford. videlicet. two hundred<br />
forty three barrells of herringes, six thousand weight of beefe, and<br />
eight thousand pipestaves in case they had come safe and well conditio=<br />
ned to the Canaries the sayd intended voyage, would there after the<br />
rates above specifyed (which were common and ordinary prices) have<br />
produced seventy pipes of Canary wynes or neere thereabouts, which<br />
he knoweth for the reasons aforesayd and for that he observed the<br />
then ćurrant price of wynes there, and hath computed what might have<br />
bene so produced. And he further saith that in december and<br />
January <u>1655</u> last past. Canary wines did yeild in this Citty thirty<br />
four pounds per pipe, and that was then and still is an ordinary<br />
price for such wynes which he knoweth being a merchant trading<br />
ánd dealing in such merchandize in this Citty, when, hee arrived<br />
in december <u>1655.</u> last past. And otherwise hee ćannot depose.
To the 17th. article of the sayd Libell This deponent saith that the sayd fferdi=<br />
nando Boddy over and besides what the sayd goods would have<br />
produced had about seventy pipes more of Canary wines there<br />
provided which were ready and prepared and designed to be laden<br />
on board the sayd shipp the ''Little Mary'' in case she had come thither<br />
as was expected by this deponent, which wynes were not brought<br />
home, but are in eminent danger of being lost to the sayd fferdinando<br />
Body, in case they be not allready seized and lost, which yet is very<br />
probable. And saith that in case the sayd last mentioned pipes be seized<br />
the sayd fferdinando Body will thereby be endammaged five hundred pounds<br />
att the least, And though they should happen to escape seizure (which is<br />
not probable) yet he by leakage, losse of markett and ordinary<br />
dammage in the quality of the sayd wynes in that they could not be sent<br />
for England will be endammaged four hundred pounds or thereabouts<br />
in this deponents Judgment[?es] who did assist in the providing of the<br />
sayd wynes. And otherwise he cannot depose.
To the 18th article of the sayd Libell, hee saith, that in case the sayd shipp ''Little''<br />
''Mary'' had so performed her designed voyage as this deponent expect<br />
and beleive she might have done, she might have taken in her lading att<br />
the Canaries and have bene gone from thence very probably before<br />
the<br />
Embargo came thither; however he saith in case shee had not come<br />
[XXXX GUTTER]hee had not come<br />
