Transcription a waterman for that time, and thereby wella waterman for that time, and thereby well knoweth that there hath bin<br /> formerly a faire sandy ground betweene the staires and dock of Saint<br /> Catherines, upon which a man might have gonne drie foote at a low<br /> water, which was very commodious for their imployment, and for the<br /> whole neighbourhood, but continuall riding of many vessells<br /> there upon the said Ellis his intertenniement, being sometimes fourteene<br /> or fifteene at a time, the ground is now sunck and filled up with mudd<br /> and soile, (above knee deep in some places) to their greate preiudice<br /> and hinderance, And otherwise hee cannot depose. To the 6th hee saith that hee heard that one mr [XX]artfall and mr<br /> Stokes seized goods at the said Ellis his house that were conveyed<br /> thereunto out of some vessells or vessell that lay at his house wharfe<br /> And otherwise hee cannot depose. To the 7th hee saith that by reason of such lying of many vessells<br /> at a time at and neare the said Jenkin Ellis his said wharf, betweene<br /> Saint Catherines Staires and the dock, the currant of the Thames<br /> being hindered thereby and strength of the tide broken, a greate deale<br /> of ooze and dirt is thereby setled and contracted there, and the river<br /> wilbe much choaked and hurt thereby in processe of time, if not<br /> timely prevented; All which premisses hee knoweth being a<br /> Waterman that hath for all the said time used to plie and doth plie<br /> at the said Staires of Saint Catherines: And saith the said place where<br /> the said vessells soe use to lie and commit the foresaid annoyances<br /> is within the ebbing and flowing of the sea, and Jurisdiction of this<br /> Court. And further hee deposeth not: Morris Brigges [SIGNATURE, RH SIDE] To the Interrogatories. [CENTRE HEADING] To the first hee saith hee cometh to be a<br /> witnes in this cause at the instance of Mr Russell and Mr Gdwin<br /> (two of the producents) and that hee hath not received or bin promised<br /> ought for his deposition, nor hath hee contributed, or is to contribute<br /> ought towards the charges of this suite, nor hath subscribed any<br /> petition or information against the said Ellis concerning this busines, nor<br /> set his hand thereto. To the second hee answereth that hee doth not conceive that about<br /> the twentieth part of the ground betweene the said staires and dock of<br /> Saint Catherins belongeth to the said Ellis in his wharfe or rangeth<br /> with the same, And saith hee never saw him receive any money for<br /> any of the said vessells their lying there, And otherwise hee cannot<br /> answer saving as aforesaid, and saving the masters and companies<br /> of the said billanders and vessells, soe lying at the said Ellis<br /> his wharfe and neare thereunto have their free way and passage<br /> to and from the streete through the said Ellis his house, they that<br /> lie adioyning to those that lie on his immediate wharfe going over<br /> one another to passe and repasse through his said house, which hee<br /> would probably never suffer, unlesse they paid him for their lying<br /> there.
