To the second hee saith the said shipp departed from Memblick in
holland upon or about the 6th of July 1654 last past, being then bound
for Norway to take in horses to be transported to the Charibian Islands
And saith That before her late seizure her last voyage was from the
Cape de Versche Eylanden for the Barbadoes laden with salt and
asses, the said asses at the time of her seizure being landed at the
Barbadoes, and about halfe of her salt, the rest remaining aboard,
but the worth thereof hee saith hee knoweth not, and saith the shipp
and residue of salt were seized and taken at the Barbadoes by
some of the English ffleet in the moneth of ffebruary 1654
English style, and saith the said shipp upon such her seizure was
employed in the service of this Commonwealth, and that this rendent
left her Master there, but most of her Companie are since transported
and come into England or the Netherlands, this rendent being one
thereof, and saith the said salt remaining aboard being laden at the
place aforesaid by an English Merchant did as this rendent beleeveth

and notorious, and thatthe goods there disposed of and sold were soe
disposed off by the said Governors permission, Which hee declareth for
that hee this examinate then being one of the said shipps Companie
well knoweth that no hollanders or other strangers doe or dare to
traffique there without such permission first obteyned. And further
