by a private man of warr named John Welch in his shipp the
Mary, and that such of the said Welches company as were by him
put aboard her, kept her (after the said seizure) about a
fortnight in the River of humber below hull out of command
as their deponent was informed by such of this deponents company that
were left and there remaining in her (this deponent being taken into the
man of warr) and there while they soe lay there there came (as
this deponent was likewise found by his said men and by letters of the
carriage of the business) boates aboard and received and
carried away clapboards and other goods and materialls, victualls and
apparell, and then still as the said boates came aboard, Welches
men there were in the Peter forced such of this deponents company
as were left in her, into some place of the shipp out of the way,
to the end they should not see what was taken away, constraining them
with swords and pistolls soe to goe out of the way. And saith that

to recover and did recover some part thereof, but of the eighteene hundred

what was in the said shipp at the time of the said seizure, this deponent
and company receaved about twelve hundred of clapboards or thereabouts (of two severall sorts)
embeazeld; this deponent and company receaved only sixe hundred or
thereabouts and not more and that were of the lesser sort of the two and alsoe recovered a topp gallant that had bin
