Unice Maverick, aged about forty-three years, deposed that riding to Boston with her son Timothy Roberts, they met with Richard Hollingworth upon the road, who inquired for a man to go to sea with him. Her son told him he would go and there- upon Hollingsworth shipped him at 35s. per month. The voyage was to Barbados, thence to Virginea, thence to England and home to New England, and in case he received any of his wages in England, then he was to be allowed part of his wages for his payment there. He was upon the voyage about eleven months. She further testified that Hollingsworth only desired him to carry his adze with him, which he yielded to, but utterly refused to be shipped cooper. Sworn in court.


Moses Maverick, aged about sixty years, deposed that upon Hollingsworth's return from Barbados, he met him at Boston and told him he was sorry for what had befallen Timothy Roberts on his voyage, and further said that he supposed his wages would be paid him. To this Hollingsworth replied that there was no reason to the contrary, but his partners were not willing, there- fore he thought best for Roberts to sue him and he would recover it of them. Mr. Grenough inquired whether he had a chirurgion or salves aboard his ketch and he answered that he had not, and upon Grenough saying that he should have had either one or the other, Hollingsworth replied that there were aboard "Sympetheti- eal powders." Also that Roberts had been very laborious and had carried himself well. Sworn in court.


John Cromwell, aged about thirty-five years, deposed that on the voyage "one morning Timothy Roberts comeing Auft upon the house Mr Hollingsworth asked him why he did not draw the hoops or shaue some hoops. Timothy told him he could not
