Arvill stated that he was imployed as cooper in taking up oils, which had been landed at London from the ship the ''Golden Sun'' of Amsterdam. He reported that twenty three pipes of oil had leaked out of the casks of oil which had been brought out of the ship.

According to Arvill the casks themselves were "strong and good", and that the leakage had happened despite the quality of the casks.<ref>[[HCA 13/73 f.766r Annotate|HCA 13/73 f.766r]]</ref>
