delivery of them at New England well knoweth that none of those pipes<br />
whose chynes were cut or [?payerd] by order of the arlate Roger Yonge had<br />
at the tyme of their sayd delivery any leakeage other than ordinary<br />

rotten and wormeaten when they were laden, and this deponent and divers<br />
others of the sayd shipps company found much fault therewith and<br />
told the Marchant or factor who laded the same thereof, and hee<br />

were, and in deede very many of the Casks and hoppes were very badd<br />
and rotten, soe that hee is well assured that such of the sayd pipes of wine<br />
as were delivered at New England with extraordinary leakeage, say their<br />
leakeage was occasioned meerely by the rottennesse and baddnesse of their<br />
casks and hoopes and not through any default in stowage or by any<br />
other neglect of the articulate Yong and Company. And further<br />
