To the first second and third articles of the said Allegation hee saith and deposeth That
about the moneth of October 1652 last past this deponent being at Saint Lucar in Spaine
(where hee hath for the most part of 11. or 12. yeares last resided) and being there
familiarly acquainted and frequently Conversing with the arlate John
Scrother a Hamurger who of this deponents certaine knowledge hath also resided at Saint
Lucar aforesaid as ffactor for Hamborough Merchants for about theise 7. yeares last
past, the said John Scrother the partie producent in this Cause told and acquainted
this deponent, That forasmuch as The shipp the black Cocke allegate was [?bXX]
designed to goe to Amsterdam with a Cargazon of goods for the account of the
widdow and heires of Hans Lemmermans of Hamborough, and that hee had
in his hands at that time goods or effects disposed off belonging to the said Lemmermans
sufficient to make up the full Cargazon of goods for the said shipp then lying
nere Saint Lucars, hee therefore intended to putt and lade aboard the same 50 butts
of Spanish wynes for his owne accompt, And saith That shortly after the said
discours, wherein the producent expressed his resolution as aforesaid, this rendent
departed from Saint Lucars for Cadiz where hee shipped himselfe in a Hamburgh shipp
for Ostend, so that hee left the said shipp the black Cocke, (John ffransen
Master) takeing in her lading at Saint Lucars, and by that meanes did not see the
actuall lading of the said 50. butts of wyne, but firmly beleeveth for the
reasons aforesaid, That the said producent did really cause that or about that
number of butts of sack to be laden aboard the said shipp for his owne accompt to
be sent as aforesaid, And for that this deponent being a WyneCooper by profession
and having in that quality for severall yeares been assistant to the said John [?ffransen]
for the marking of vessels of wyne and other goods by him transmitted to Holland
and other places, is well acquainted that the marke in the margent allegate [?XXX]

To the 4th article and schedule therein mentioned but not annexed hee saith he
knoweth nothing thereof./

To the 5th hee saith that for all the time of this deponents knowledge of the [?producent]
as aforesaid hee the said producent was and is commonly and generally
accompted a Native Subject of the free Citie and State of Hamborough, [?and]
by reason of his residence in Spaine is there accompted and esteemed a Subject
of the Crowne and hath so bin for all the time aforesaid, And otherwise
saving his foregoing and subsequent deposition hee saith hee cannot depose/

To the 6th hee saith, hee beleeveth, it is usuall for Merchants residing in [?Spaine]
and transmitting goods and merchandizes from thence in regard of the hostilitie
between ffrance and Spaine and to prevent the Capture and Condemnation
of their goods and Merchandizes by the ffrench Kings shipps and Subjects to make use
of and insert the names of Neutrall and free persons in bills of lading for the same Whereas [?notwithstanding]
(the
