Master of the ship the ''Hope'', allegedly of Flushing.

Resident in 1656 in Flushing in Zeeland.

He stated in 1656 that he is "a native of Conquet in Britany in the realme of ffrance, and that hee hath lived at fflushing aforesaid for theise five yeeres last or thereabouts, and there dwelleth at present".<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.396r Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.396r]]</ref>

==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
Thirty-nine year old Jan le Gal deposed on October 23rd 1656 in the High Court of Admiralty. He ws examined on interrogatories in the cause of "[?Xrivell] and company imployers of the ''Endeavour'' William Saddleton commander against the shipp the ''Hope'' (John Legall master)".<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.396r Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.396r]]</ref>

The case concerned the seizure of the ship the ''Hope'' of Flushing by the English. Jan le Gal, whose name was rendered by the Court notary as "John Legall", stated that the owners were Monsieur Clarke and company of Flushing and claimed that the ship was of the port of Flushing. He was attempting to deflect claims that the ship was of Dunkirk or Ostend. He himself admitted to being a native of Brittany, but claimed that he had lived in Flushing for five years. The ship had a lading of hops and osiers (willow branches) for London merchants.<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.396r Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.396r]]</ref>
