==Biographical synthesis==
Lewes Maddock (b. ca. 1616; d. ?). Mariner.

Resident in Limehouse in the parish of Stepney in 1656.

==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
Forty year old Lews Maddock deposed on December 2nd 1656 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined in "A businesse of examination of witnesses ad perpetuam in memoriam touching the seizure of the shipp the ''Justice'' of Dover and goods in the same promoted by Thomas Wade and others against Monsieur de la Roze and all others et cetera".<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.398r Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.398r]]</ref>

Lewes Maddock was one of the company of the ship the ''Justice'' of Dover (Master: John ffishbell). The ship had been hired and freighted by John Naylor, John Horne and company to go on a voyage from London to Guinea to Barbados and back to London. In January 1656 the ''Justice'' was at "Cape Sierra-Leone in Ginney" to take on wood and water, when she was met with by a French ship commanded by Monsieur de Rose, which attempted to seize her.<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.438r Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.438r]]</ref> Maddock reports that Captain ffishbell and other members of his company told the French commander that there was peace between England and France. Despite this the French proceeded to seize the English ship, and turned ffishbell and company out of their ship onto shore "after they had beate and very ill intreated them".<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.438v Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.438v]]</ref>

According to Maddock, the ''Justice'' was of a burthen of 140 tuns, recently built and outfitted, and worth £1300. Maddock also estimated "her lading of copper barrs, and other goods necessaries and provisions" as being worth £1300.<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.438v Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.438v]]</ref>

Of the four deponents in support of the English merchants who owned the ship, three were resident in the parish of Stepney (including two in Limehouse), and one in Ratcliff (= Rotherhithe) across the river Thames on the Surrey side.
