Transcription

this deponent saith that he was detayned and kept prisoner
in Bahia after such time as the arlate hurdidge went away
And therefore cannot depose to the contents of this article

To the sixteenth article of the said allegation he deposeth and
saith that the damage which the said shipps Company
hath susteyned by reason of the said Portaguyses seizure of the said
shipp in clothes and goods and other expenses on shoare
(being putt to their owne shifts after they were putt out of
the said shipp) amount to about five hundred pounds, besides seaven
hundred pounds for their wages And further he cannot
depose saving that he this deponent was detayned prisoner
in Bahia 18 monthes, and after the said shipps departure
and was afterwards in getting home 8 monthes, to this
deponents particular great damage, besides infirmityes of his body
gotten by his long imprisonment, which he fears will stick
to him soe long as he lives, and he beleeves it will
shorten his dayes./

To the 17th article he deposeth and saith that during the forty dayes
time arlate the arlate hurdidge and Company were of his
this deponents knowledge, at a great charge in buying victualls
and other necessaryes for the Negro's that then lay ready on
shoare to bee taken aboard the sayd shipp, And he saith
that he beleiveth the said charges did amount unto 294 Mill
400 Rees And further he cannot depose, not knowing
the certaine Number of the said Negro's.

To the eighteeneth article he deposeth and saith that the said
Officers of the King of Portugall did seaze and take a way
from Thomas Wyse Purser of the said shipp seaven
Oliphant teeth, but the value therof he saith he doth not
certainly know, and from John Cobb Masters=Mate one
Negro, which (if he had sold himselfe) would have yeilded 50ty
Milres, and that they tooke from him this deponent a Negro
a peice of the India, well worth 50ty Millrees
and from Richard Rawle Carpenter a Negro well worth
48 Millrees, and from Robert Pearce and James
Large one Negro well worth 48 Millrees, The premisses
he deposeth because he tooke good notice of the said Negro's
to belong unto the said particular men, and alsoe of the
stature of the said Negro's And further he cannot depose./

To the last he saith that the interest of the sayd summes of
money wherin all or any the persons alsoe said have suffered
damage, was and is really worth sixe li per Centum
per annum from the time of the said seizure, which was
made by the Portugalls on or about the seaventh of
ffebruary 1651 English stile, And otherwise he deposeth not.
