containing one thousand peeces of eight Peru money, all to be transported in the
said shipp to Ostend in fflanders and there to be delivered to the ffactors Agents
and Correspondents of the said producent for his proper accompt use and benefitt
The premisses hee deposeth upon the reasons ensueing, that is to say, for that
hee this deponent having for severall yeares last past held Correspondencie with, and
well knowne the trade and negotiation of Edward Peters, was in the
yeare 1652 predeposed at Antwerp, where this deponents settled residence is, and where
the said producent before the tyme that the said shipps were taken showed unto
this deponent letters of advise and bills of lading which hee had receved from his
said ffactors over land, intimating and importing, that they had laden, all the greatest

to give intimation to this Court that such silver and moneyes were laden aboard the

wherewith the bills of lading now showne unto him are filled up and firmed, as
hee in Conscience stedfastly beleeveth, and for that hee findeth the nyne bills of
lading now perused by him punctually to agree with other nyne of the same respective
tenors seized in the said shipps, and now remaining in the Registrie of this
Court where this deponent hath often seene and perused them, hee is fully and
absolutely confirmed and assured, that the said bills of lading were and are
true and reall, and so had and done as therein is contained. And further

the producent in this Cause hath formerly lived at Dover in England, from
