Exámined upon the foresaid allegation.

Rp. 4us.

See the 3 first in B4:

John Hanschen of Antwerp Marchant aged
21 yeeres or thereabouts sworne and exámined.

To the first and second articles of the said allegation hee saith and
deposeth that hee this deponent from the yeere 1649 till
within this yeare last past lived with the arlate Adrian Goldsmith
at Antwerp as his servant in the way of merchandize, and
constantly wrote in his Counting house in writing and coppying of letters and
merchandizing dispatches and keeping accounts and
making entries in his bookes and helping to keepe his said
bookes, and thereby well knoweth that hee had correspondance
with the producent Christofer Boone, and that in the yeare
1654 the accompts betweene them was made up, and upon due
calculation thereof, the said Adrian Goldsmith was found to
be really indebted to the said Christofer Boone in the summe of
two hundred thousand Reals of plate, or silver money,
and that the said debt was contracted or owing for goods merchandizes and effects
formerly received by the said Adrian or his agents for his use and account
in Spaine of the said mr Boones factors namely Antonio Upton and others. And upon such making up the said account
this deponent heard the said Mr Goldsmith his master say and
acknowledge that his was really soe much indented to the said
Mr Boone, and in consideration and for or towards satisfaction
thereof hee said hee would goe to a Notarie to make a
transport or assignment to the said Mr Boone of (and for the said
Mr Boones owne use) the severall quantities of silver and
Cochenille seized in England in the shipps Sampson,
Salvador and Saint George and which were or had bin claimed by
him the said Adrian in the Admiraltie Court at London,
and saith the said Transport was accordingly made in or about
the beginning of November 1654 (new stile)
by William La Rousseau a publique Notarie living
in Antwerp, which hee knoweth because his said master sent
him this deponent to fetch the same (being donne) from the
said Notary, which hee did, being as hee saith the very
schedule in latin remaining in Court and which hee hath nowe seene, and
saith hee verily beleeveth the contents of the said schedule to be
reall and true, and to have bin soe had and donne as therein is
contained. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the third hee saith that forthwith upon notice had by the
said Adrian Goldsmith of the seizure of the said three shipps
in England with their lading, hee wrote and gave order to mr
Vandeput of this citie Marchant to claime for him, his silver
mentioned in the said schedule, which hee knoweth for that hee this
examinate copied the letter soe written into his letter booke.
And otherwise hee cannot depose.
