tenn men and two boyes, and that this deponent and her saile maker
called Garret, (who was taken in at Bayon about tenn dayes before
such her seizure) were hollanders and subiects of the said States
of the United Netherlands, and that one of the boyes was ffrench
and borne as hee said at Saint Martins Island neare Rochell, and soe a
native subiect of the ffrench king, and that the other boy was an
English boy of dover, and the rest were commonly reputed Easterlings
and of severall places in the East countrey, as dantzike, Courland
and other places, and none of the company were English saving the said boy of
dover, when the said shipp was soe seized as aforesaid.

To the fifth hee saith that the said seizure was made about the

And saith there were connossements aboard which
