dizes of the said William Pym and sewerall other English Merchants being then
and there seized upon by the ffrenchmen of Saint Mallo in manner and upon
pretence as is predeposed, severall of the Inhabitants of the said Towne of
Saint Mallo did with much violence and in a barbarous manner assault and
iniure the English then there resideing, in this deponents sight, this deponent being
severall times so iniured, and having stones throwne at him, so that he and the
rest of the English could not passe along the streetes without an imminent
danger of their lives for a long time together; And saith, That in or about
the moneth of december next ensueing after the injuries and insolencies aforesaid
hee this deponent together with the wife and family of the said William Pym
perceiving themselves exposed to continuall dangers by an enraged multitude, did
privately retire and convey themselves away into England, and upon such their
retreat were necessitated to leave all the estate the said William Pym then had
remaineing there, as a pray to the incensed ffrench, And the said William Pym
was and is by that meanes totally deprived not onely of the beneficiall employment
which hee had and enjoyed as a ffactor there, but also of all and singular the
emoluments and advantages which hee made by his owne particular adventure and
negotitation And thereby hath clearely suffered losse and dammage since
his said necessitated retreat to the full valew of three thousand pounds sterling

and grievances, to the Court of Judicature at Saint Malo, to the Parliament of
Rhennes in Brittanie being the Parliament under whose Jurisdiction Saint Malo
is scituated, and also to the great Councill at Paris, and in prosecution of
his just demands to and before the said respective Courts of Judicature
and Councill hath necessarily expended and layd out one hundred and
sixtie pounds sterling or thereabouts, but hath not, nor can obtaine from them any [?repara= GUTTER]
tion or satisfaction for the dammages and losses aforesaid nor for any part
thereof. The premisses this deponent well knoweth by reason of his familiar
and constant conversation with the person, and acquaintance with the afaires
and transactions of the said producent William Pym. And further
cannot depose./

To the 11th hee saith and deposeth That the losses and dammages which the
said producent William Pym hath really susteyned by meanes of the
