To the first article of the say allegation hee saith that hee this deponent being<br />
Captaine of Shipp ''Negro'' the whole voyage in question thereby well and<br />
experimentally knoweth that the arlate Samuell Edwards and Roger Whitfeild<br />

and muntinous fellowes and were often or shoare in severall places drinkeing<br />
and tippleing and came aboard severall tymes very much<br />
overtaken with drinke and did carrie them selves soe stubbornely and<br />
mutinously towards this deponent and his necessarie Commands that<br />
many tymes this deponent was constrayned to forbeare to command<br />
them to doe things necessarie for feare of their takeing distaste thereat<br />
and running away and deserting the sayd shipp which they severall<br />
tymes attempted to doe and this their drunken and disobedient carriages<br />
was a thing publique and notorious not only to this deponent but to<br />
the whole shipps company who sawe and tooke notice of the same<br />
And further saving his subsequent deposition hee cannot depose.

arlate Edwards and Whitfeild and some others of the the sayd shipps Company<br />
did behinde this deponents back give this deponent opprobious language<br />
and disparrage this deponent and the sayd shipp alsoe, and reporte that shee was very<br />
leakie and insufficient and unfitt to performe her voyage, And saith<br />
that in the tyme that the sayd shipp lay at Saint Christophers this deponent<br />
being on shoare called to the Company of his shipp to bring the boate<br />
on shoare to fetch him on board whereupon the sayd Edwards brought<br />
the greatest part of the shipps company on shoare in the boate and<br />
this deponent askeing the sayd Edwards what the reason was that soe<br />
many of the Company came on shoare hee answered in the behalfe<br />
of himselfe and the rest of them and sayd that they would not proceede in the<br />
sayd shipp on the voyage for that far (as hee sayd) shee was soe insuffi=<br />

the sayd Edwards and Whitfeild and Morgan before the Governour of Saint<br />
Christophers to be punished in case they would not returne aboard<br />
