voyage wholly by ffrenchmen, and that three horses brought downe the
said lading from Roane to haver de Grace, except one fatt of goods
which was put aboard at haver de Grace by one Monsieur de Pappe
a ffrenchman upon his owne accompt: and that the two yonge men
(speaking of the said harman Goris and of one Garcia Gonzalez
who was likewise taken in the said shipp) that pretended themselves
merchants of the said shipp, were only ffactors for ffrench men, or to

shipp the hare in the feild, shee was brought with her lading
into Portsmouth, where the said John kein and harman Goris being
examined upon their oathes before the major of that place and their
depositions put into writing, the said John kein (though [?charged] and
required) refused to declare and confesse who were freighters and
laders of his said shipp, and said hee would not confesse or acknowledge
them but referred himselfe to his bills of lading which hee had
delivered to this deponent. And that the sad harman Goris being
iudicially demannded upon his oath before the said Major of
whom hee bought the goods that hee said were his owne, and what
hee paid for the same, said hee would not declare of whom hee bought
them, nor would hee subscribe his name to his examination, [?nor]
though hee might have (as hee said) a thousand pounds, nor did
or would hee declare of whom hee bought them, nor subscribe
his examination before the said Maior, At all which passages before
the major this deponent was present. And otherwise hee cannot
depose.
To the 21th hee saith that the said William [?Leme] being then likewise
examined before the said Major, made noe confession or acknowledgement
of what hee had as aforesaid declared before this deponent, and after such
his examination before the major, being by this deponent demmannded
whie hee concealed and did not declare before the Maior as hee had
before declared to this deponent, hee the said [?Lemo] answered that the
Merchants or factors and the Skipper of the hare, chardged him
upon his life before hee was examined that hee should not
say any thinge, And otherwise hee cannot depose.
To the 22th hee saith that after such seizure of the said shipp the
hare in the ffeild, and lading, namely on the 29th of May last, hee
this deponent in the Tyger frigot met at sea with five dutch
shipps the name of the master of one whereof was Martin Nastian,
Cornelius drunckard mmaster of another, John Mosse of another,
Cornelius Johnson of another, and William Johnson of the other, which
said shipps came out of haver de Grace that day where they had bin
to carry salt for the Grand Partie as the said masters confessed to this
deponent, and were going to fetch more salt for the said Partie.
And saith the said masters being all aboard the Tyger frigot, did all
and each of them relate and declare that the day before their said comming
from haver de Grace there was newes come thither by letter that the
shipp the hare in the ffeild was with all her lading taken by the
English, and that the ffrench merchants were all like mad men upon
