Transcription

taking in her lading at haver de Grace, it was there generally reported
and taken notice of that shee was laden for the account of ffench merchants
and that ffrenchmen were owners of her lading and goods that were put
aboard her And lastly hee saith that after the said seizure the Stiersman
and others of the hares company confessed and said that her said master
immediately before shee was taken thinking himselfe cleare of the
English, had given order to beare up the helme, and steere away alongst
the Channell, saying nowe wee are past the English steerts or to that
effect. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the seaventh 8. and 9th article hee saith and deposeth that when they in the hare
in the ffeild espied the English shipps, they [?declined] them asmuch as they
could, endeavouring to get away from them, soe that this deponent and
company in the said frigot chased her two full houres ere hee could come
within commannd of her, and bore soe prest a saile in the chase that
hee sprung his maine mast in the decks, and the drake frigot being
a little a head this deponent, was forced to make three shotts at the
hare in the feild before shee would yeeld or stay, and when at length
shee was forced to stay, and was haled, the said John kein though this deponent
sent his boate twice aboard him to come aboard the frigot
refused to come. alleaging that it was night, and the second time hee
sent word to this deponent that hee would come aboard in the morning
saying hee was loath to come before, as not knowing whether this
deponent was a friend or an enemie, whereupon this deponent seeing
the hare weare a friends colours, had patience to expect untill it was
day. And when it was day this deponent sent the third time to him
the said kein commannding him aboard, and with order to tell him
that in case of refusall then to come, hee should fitt his shipp to
fight, for this deponent was resolved to have him immediately
on board, and shortly hee came aboard with this deponents master who
was sent for him, and who upon his retourne told this deponent that
the said kein had asked him what hee should doe aboard, and that the
said master had answered him his shipp was prize and therefore hee
must come aboard, to which the said John kein replied, my shipp prize
my shipp is noe prize, [?XXX ?XXth] this deponents master (as hee said)
your shipp is prize and goods too, and that thereupon the said kein againe
answered to this effect, By God my shipp us noe prize, my goods
are prize, but my shipp is noe prize. And otherwise hee cannot
depose.

To the tenth article hee saith that some of this deponents companie
whom this deponent had sent aboard the hare in the morning as aforesaid
upon their retourne told this deponent that after their comming aboard her
the said kein came severall times amongest his company and earnestly
desired them that they would fight, that the shipp might not be yeelded
up, but they answered, shee (speaking of the Tyger frigot) is a
shipp of fourtie guns, and what should wee fight for: and afterwards
this deponent examined some of them whether it was true that
their master had instigated them to fight, and they confessed that hee
did, And otherwise savinga s aforesaid hee cannot depose.

To the 11th article hee saith and deposeth that upon the comming of
the said John kein aboard the said shipp the Tyger frigot, this deponent
bidd him welcome, and asked him why hee had made this deponent looke
for
