Aprill last past and before the takeing of the arlate shipp called
the Salvadore of Hamborowe (whereof Harry Grell is master) he this deponent hath received mant
letters from the sayd Jaques Ribaud and Henry Bardett
whereby the sayd Ribaud and Bardett have often
advised him amongst other things that they were advised by a letter
which they received from Bastian Johnson of Lisbone dated the 27th
of March 1637 stile novo, that there was laden for their accompte by the sayd Johnson
abord the sayd shipp the Salvadore
fiftye chests of suger marked as in the margent of the schedule arlate
whereof twentye five chests were white sugers and the other
twenty five chests Muscavadoe sugers, alsoe that there was laden

mentioned, but beleiveth that although it is expressed in the sayd bills
of ladinge, that the goods therein mentioned are for
the accompte of the sayd John Goriou, yet all the sayd goods
were reallye and trulye laden for the proper accompte of the sayd
Ribaud and Bardett and that the sayd Goriou had or hath noe
interest in them, which he is induced soe to beleive by reason of many
letters which he hath received from the sayd Ribaud and Bardett concerninge
the same goods, and for that he hath had correspondence with them
for these two yeares last past, and hath since the warrs betwixt
Spayne and ffrance received a great quantitye of goods and moneys
to the vallue of fourtye thousand pounds sterling and upwards, laden
abord severall shipps at Lisbone and other parts of Spayne and Portugall
and consigned to him this deponent and the foresayd Gerard Vantonen
which goods have bene expressed in the bills of
Ladinge to be for the accompte of Balthazar and John Martines
of Antwerpe, and the letters send with such goods have bene directed
to the sayd Balthazar and John Martines, and some of the gooods soe received
by him and his sayd partner have bene sayd in the bills of ladinge
to be for the accompte of the sayd John Gorriou, and yet all the
[?XXX] goods and moneys were really and truelye laden for the proper accompte of the
