Transcription

To the 5th hee saith, being first advertized of the danger of perjury, That
hee deth not know neither did hee ever heare of any tickett or ticketts
sett up as is interrate, nor of the removall thereof, or altering of place or
places for the sale of the goods in question./

To the 6th hee saith That before the seizure of the said shipp Saint John
Baptist and her lading, the said Major Sedgwick and the rest of the fleet,
in Companie with him seized a Swedish Vessell laden with salt, which they
caused to keepe Company with them till a Councell of warr for the examination
of their Master and companie was called, which being so called, they dismissed
the said Swedish Vessell, and carried the Saint John Baptist along with them,
as being by the said Councell of warr concluded to be a lawfull Prize, and
for no other respect or consideration so farr as this deponent ever heard, or
beleeveth, nor did any of the said fleet oppose the carryeing away thereof,
And saith that they were at the time of the said seizure about fourescore
leagues off of the Lands end interrate, And further otherwise then negatively
hee cannot depose./
