said respective potaccoes of tobaccoe, and for the markes of those
belonging to the producent hee referreth himselfe to his deposition formerly
made in this cause, and for the rest some (namely
about 92 to his remembrance) were marked AD, about 22 marked
SL, and eighteene or thereabouts marked .S. The rest being
many, and of severall markes, and it being long since the
lading, hee doth not without booke remember, and hee saith
that all the markes were firmedly on at the time of the seizure,
but since by rummaging and tumbling and tugging the tobaccoe,
there may probably some of the markes be rubbed or torne off,
hee beleeveth that if the tobaccoes had bin carefully taken out or
unladen, and by such as would have desired or endeavoured to
preserve the markes upon them, the markes had bin remaining and
visible at the time of the restitution, ordered by this Court.

To the last hee cannot answer saving as aforesaid, and saving the
boatswaine of the shipp ttooke notice in counting of the particulars
and markes, as alsoe his contest the Captaine don diago da la Baton.
