Summer upon a fishing voyadge, I then did ship five hands who went with me, and every man went upon a share according as we aggried, And hyred John Ingersol Senior as Shoreman to dry our fish, allowing him one share of fish for his work and under- takeing as a shoreman To whose trust we did Commit from tyme to tyme all the fish we catcht Dureing this our fishing voy- adge which fish, according to the custome of Shoremen was to be Dryed, and delyvered by the said Ingersoll according to order when it was ready and he requyred thereunto, and also to give an account of his doeing therein, For as a trustie, the wholl is Committed into his hands, both to delyver and to give an account y' of And it is not the custome for any other, but the shoreman only to delyver the fish and keep an account thereof Seing it is wholly committed into his custody. 2. That which I humbly conceive is right and equall in this case is, That we haveing Catcht 5700 fish the first fayr as by my book appears and which the Company can also testifie which number of fish is conceived undoubtedly to waygh 110 Quintalls at least when it is dryd, And my part of the said fish being two shares, a half and half quarter will amount to 32 Quintalls and upwards, And my note which I charged on the shoreman beareing date the 6 Jully 1682 was only for Twenty quintalls which the shoreman would not delyver according to note, was farr short of my part of the first fayr of fish, which then passed currently at 15 shillings p. Qtl. in money or in goods at such a Rate as is better than money, So that for want of my part of the said first fayr of fish I have suffered above Four pounds damadge, which fish I then exceedingly wanted to Supply my self with necessaryes in the season of buyeing them, and which first fayer is now all delyvered away without my ordor. 3. whereas it appears by severall evidences in the case, that the shoreman would put me off with fish now when the price thereof is but eleven shillings p Qtl. It doth evidently appear that my Damadge through want of my part of the first fayr fish is about eight pounds. But through want of an account of the fish which I demanded of the defendant and he denyed I cannot certainly informe the honored Court fully my damadge. But if it be objected that it is the custom to pay Generalls with the first fayr fish, To this I answere that my account will make it plainly appeare That I laid in more then my part of the generall for that fayr and therefore there was no reason to deny me of my part of the first fayr of fish upon that or any other account."
"Goodman Ingersoll pray deliuer to Isaac Foot of our First Fayre of Fish twenty quentels of merchantable Fish if it will hould oute soe much as for to shares and halfe: part of it will bee for to barels of makerell for our voyadge. p mee

Thomas Elliot, aged about twenty-six years, testified that there was no fish weighed to Stephen Daniel from Ingersoll until after they had gone to sea for their last fare of fish.
The answer of John (his mark) Ingersoll: "A Shoreman is Shipt wth the Consent & Mutuall agreement of the Owner of the Vessell & ye Master, and his business is to tend & Cure the fish & to see Every Man as Neere as hee Cann; the Owner for his Ketch & Generall Charge to have his dew & the Men Each to have his share according to Custom to Giue an Accot at the End of the voyadge yt is when the fish is cured & wayed. Where- as itt is Alleaged that the Shoreman had Committed into his hands by the Master Daniell 5700 fish as p the Masters book, itt doth not appeare neither tale nor the wheight of any nor doth itt appeare w Share, or that he had any Share in my hands for that the Generall Charges Dew to the Owner wth the Ketches pt came to more as Judged y" the first fayr, haueing had of the Owner fourty three hhde of Salt wth other nessesarys before the fish was wayed Neuer the less ye master had the best part of thirty quintals of Refuse fish, out of the first Fare, and whereas hee Alleages he gaue order to Isaack foote To Receive his fish I deny itt, for itt is not a mans saying he hath power to Receive this or that; Giues him power, butt must more Apeare his power wch is not done only by one wittness swearing he Red a note to Jnº Ingersoll weh Gaue foot power to Receive fish butt I did not sware any order that foote Gaue him to Receive fish he might as well finde the Note if Euer there was such a note, and I doe deklare the fish he Receiued went at the same time for the same price as the First fayr did then where cann his dammadge bee butt he housed his Fish a longe time & at last Carried itt to Boston & if he there gaue itt away or Kept itt to his owne dam- madge soe be itt, ye fault not myne & whereas he saith I would pay him fish now, there is no more loss by turning fish into money now then was in the spring for the Currt price now much lower then formerly Consequently the mony price, for our mony price is Gennerally too Ryalls Under the Curr Price, for when I am to pay fish at mony price itt is Generally take Two Ryalls or one Shilling Under ye Curr price, and whereas hee pretends dammadge & that for not haueing his pt of and Af- firmes that ye first fayr was all delivered away without his order Recd the Best part of thirty quintalls of the first fayr & Judge itt more than his dew of yt ye Generall being payd;" it was not proved that Daniell had not received his share, and the law required that there be 40s. damage proved to have suit entered in a county court, which is impossible because the voyage is not made up and the fish not yet dry; "the law makes our fishing voyadges to hould till the last of October and further haue not beene weather since to dry said Fish," etc.
