'''dt. Smith'''
'''jus'''
'''George Putt''' of the parish of Stepney and County of Middlesex Mariner<br />
Masters Mate of the Shipp the ''ffreeman'' aged 48 yeares or thereabouts<br />
a wittnes sworne and examined saith and deposeth as followeth videlicet/
To the first seond and third articles of the sayd allegation hee saith that imediately<br />
before the pretended damage in question happened the shipp the ''ffreeman'' was falling<br />
downe the River of Thames neere Woolwich towards Gravesend and the shipp the<br />
''Mary'' arlate was comming up with the tyde of fludd towards London and hee saith<br />
that before the sayd shipps came neere one the other the Company of the ''ffreeman''<br />
called out to the Company of the ''Mary'' aforesayd and desyred them to putt their shipp<br />
the ''Mary'' a stayes that thereby they might avoide running against the ''ffreeman''<br />
who was going downe the River with a fayre wynde and hee beleeveth that the company<br />
of the ''Mary'' very well heard and understood what the Company of the ''freeman''<br />
then spake unto them Which notwithstanding the Company of the ''Mary'' aforesayd<br />
did not bring their shipp a stayes but willfully or at least in<br />
a carelesse manner (as hee beleeveth) ranne upon the ''ffreeman'' and not the ''ffreeman'' upon her<br />
the ''ffreeman'' not being able to edge neerer the shore then shee did without apparant hazard to her selfe and her ladeing shee being<br />
a large vessell of about five hundred tonnes and drawing above<br />
sixteene foote water and hee beleeveth the sayd shipp ''Mary'' was a smale shipp and<br />
therefore her company if they had pleased might have gone neerer the shoare<br />
or put their shipp a stayes as they were desyred, or layed their foresayle and<br />
foretopsayle to the mast and used many other meanes if they had pleased<br />
whereby they might if they would have avoided running fowle of the<br />
''ffreeman'' And hee saith hee is well assured that if the Company of the ''Mary''<br />
had layed their shipp a stayes as they weere by the Company of the ''ffreeman''<br />
desyred to doe the damage controverted had not happened And hee alsoe saith<br />
that what hurt or damage happened to the ''Mary'' by her running fowle of the<br />
''ffreeman'' happened by the fault and wilfullnes of her company in bot<br />
laying her a stayes as they werer desyred the premisses hee deposeth being Masters Mate aboard the ''ffreeman'' And further saving his subsequent deposition hee cannot to these<br />
articles depose saving hee saith the shipp ''ffreeman'' at the tyme arlate was heavie<br />
laden and had goods on board her worth about twenty thousand pounds in this<br />
deponents Judgment and estimate./
To the 4th article hee saith that in case the Company of the ''ffreeman'' did cut any of the<br />
sayd ''Maryes'' tackle it was done only to cleere their sayd shipp from the ''Mary''<br />
and in order to preserve their shipp ''ffreeman'' from being driven on shoare by the<br />
''Mary'' and to save their sayd shipp and her ladeing from damage And further to this<br />
article hee cannot depose./
To the 5th hee saith that when the Company of the ''ffreeman'' called out as aforesayd<br />
to the Company of the ''Mary'' to laye their sayd shipp a stayes the Master and Company thereof<br />
instead of soe doeing did beare their mayne top sayle a back stayes and put their<br />
helme a weather and by that meanes ranne directly athwart the hawse of the<br />
''ffreeman'', the premisses hee deposeth being masters mate aboard the ''ffreeman''<br />
and seeing and well observing the premisses to be done by the Company of the ''Mary'' in<br />
manner predeposed And further hee cannot depose/
