_Christopher Langman_, late Mate of the late Ship called the _Nottingham_, of the Burden of about 120 Tons, whereof _John Dean_ was Master, _Nicholas Mellon_ Boatswain, and _George White_ Sailor, all belonging to the said Ship, do severally make Oath as followeth, _viz._ And first, the said _Christopher Langman_ for himself saith, The said Ship being designed on a Voyage from _London_ to _Killybags_, and from thence to _New England_, she departed from the _Nore_, the 7th of _August_, 1710. in company with her Majesty's Ship _Sheerness_, which they left off of _Whitby_. That on the 21st of the same Month they saw Two Sail to the Leeward, which gave chace to the said Ship _Nottingham_ for about the Space of Three Leagues; in which time, (notwithstanding this Deponent told the said _Dean_ they were Enemies) he often would have bore down upon them; that the Day fallowing they saw the Privateers again, when the said _John Dean_ (contrary to the Will of this Deponent) would have brought the said Ship _Nottingham_ to an Anchor; which if done, she would in all probability have been taken. That they then left the said Privateers, and arrived with their said Ship that Night at _Killybags_ aforesaid, where they deliver'd what Goods were thereto consigned. That on the 25th Day of _September_, in the Year aforesaid, they departed with the said Ship _Nottingham_ from the said Port for _Boston_ in _New England_. In Prosecution of which Voyage, being on the Coast of _New England_, the said _John Dean_, without any Provocation, came to this Deponent and knock'd him down after a very barbarous and inhumane manner, and between Eight and Nine of the Clock at Night of the same Day, the said Ship _Nottingham_ was run on Shore on the Coast of _New England_, (contrary to the Advice of this Deponent) where she, with the chiefest Part of her Cargo, was utterly lost. And lastly, This Deponent believeth, that the said _John Dean_, according to his Working of the said Ship in the said Voyage, design'd to lose her. _Christopher Langman._
