          Aprill the Seaventh 1703   He upon oath said

       I doe know Alexander Forbes Complt against Lowe Defd.t I have
       heard that there has beene Toba Damnifyed in the five man boat but
       whose Tobaccoe or how it was damnifyed I know not nor any thing of
       her Leakyness

       He said nothing further and to the best of his remembrance Edward
       Buth and Ralph Stevens who brought her from Kent did hawle her to
       shore and tyed her to a Stake

       The answer of Ambros Kennimont to the sev.rall Interrogatoryes
       proposed by Alexander Forbes Complt against Nicholas Lowe Defd.t
       Aprill the Twelfth 1703                  Upon his oath did say
       I doe know Alexander Forbes the Complt and Nicholas Lowe the
       Defdant  As to the five man boat being worme eatten or rotten
       the Twenty sixth day of July 1697 I know nothing of but within this
       moneth have heard there was some Tobaccoe Damnified in her a little
       before M.r Forbes had her by meanes of her Leakeyness

       When the five man boat lay at my landing and M.r Forbes had goods putting
       on board of her she proved very Leaky and one of the Me endeavouring
       to stopp some of her Leaks I did perceive some part her Timber
       and the planke under it on the inward side of the boat to be rotten
       soe that he could doe but little good in stopping the Leak

       As to his rigging of the boat cann say nothing being Ignorant in those
       things but have heard one of the men that went in her say that they
       had beene in great Danger for the sayles of the boat tore in peices
       meeting with some thing of a storme

       And I doe know that M.r Forbes did hire Richard Austin and James Steward
       and they Assisted in loading the boat and Carrying her to Kent and while
       she was loading she was very Leaky so that they did pump sev.rall times
       both in the day and night following; the boat seemed to me not to be over
       loaden  And to the best of my knowledge received noe damage in loading
       she was very leaky but we did not soe well pceive it untill near
       loaden but then she did leak soe fast that it seemed to me that she
       Could not carry her burthen to the place intended without great care
