Hamburgh cause to be laden on board this deponents sayd shipp the
Crowne Imperiall then lying att the Port of Hamburgh [?some]
peice goods wares and merchandizes to a great value for their
owne severall accompts to be for their accompts and risko transported
to Cadiz and there delivered to their factors for [?the ?accompt]
of them the sayd Laders and the sayd goods safely arrived att Cadiz
in the sayd shipp in the moneth of August last Past 1653, and then
and there this deponent did himselfe saefely deliver the sayd
peice foods wares and merchandizes so sent by the foresayd
Hamburghers interessed in this cause to the servants and barkiers
sent by the merchants or factors att Cadiz (to whom the same were
consigned) to fetch and receyve the same of him this deponent
who afterwards heard the sayd factors respectively acknowledge
that the sayd goods came safe to their hands a shoare att Cadiz
And otherwise he cannot depose.

To the fourth article of the sayd allegation this deponent saith that the
foresayd Anthonio de Labistraet and other the persons above
named interressed in the sayd sylver now in question, and also the
arlate Claes Moller and Claes Colbrandt being the persons
schedulat in October last past and att the tyme of the lading of
the sayd sylver and for twenty yeares before and upwards have bene
were and are all Hamburghers, and every person of them
for all the sayd tyme hath bene and now is an Hamburgher and
citizen burgher and Inhabitant of Hamburgh and a subiect
of and uner the free state thereof. And indeed the sayd persons
were and are Hamnburghers borne and so accounted. And
this deponent knoweth being himselfe a native of Hamburgh
where he hath lived all his tyme and hath knowne well every of the
sayd persons and bene acquainted with them ten yeares and upwards
and some of them 25 yeares and upwards. And otherwise
he cannot depose.

To the 5th article he saith he cannot depose saving that [#]

[#] [TEXT IN LH MARGIN AT 90 DEGREES]
hath many and sundry tymes heard the sayd Claes Colebrandt seriously affirme that in case he had had any suspicion that any part
of the sayd sylver laden on board him had bene unfree as belonging to Hollanders or ffrenchmen he would not have receyved
the same aboard, and that he was assured and told by the respective Laders thereof that the same was all free and for the
sole accompt of the Hamburgh merchants named in the bills of lading for the same; and this deponent beleiveth that
in case the sayd Claes Colbrandt had had any cause to have suspected the sayd sylver to be unfree as to this Commonwealth he would not have
receyved the same for that the Owners of shipps at Hamburgh have since warr betwixt England and Holland given speciall
order to their Skippers not to lade any such nonfree goods in their shipps

in the bay of Cadiz in the moneth of September and most of

Hamburgh shipps the Wheele of ffortune and the Saint Paul in
the sayd month of October. And otherwise cannot depose.
