Transcription

for Martinica or Saint Christofers, but saith that the said shipps being
met with by fowle weather and stressie stormes, and her victualls
and beverage failing in her course, the said masters and companies were
forced with them into Santa domingo in Hispaniola in the West India's
in or about October 1653 stile aforesaid, and in the next moneth following or
thereabouts, they as hee saith there sold all such of their said Negro's
as were remaining and died not in the voyage, namely they there
sold three hundred and sixtie Negro's or thereabouts for commodities
of that place and countrey, to be thence transported for Spaine in
Spanish bottomes for their said owners account, and the reason of
such designe of transportation in Spanish bottomes hee saith was
because that dutch shipps were not permitted to lade in those parts,
And this hee saith was and is true and notorious, and very well knowne
to this deponent who went master of the shipp the Yellow Sunn, in
company of the Angell (whereof his said brother was master) and
saw the premisses soe happen and donne.

To the third article hee saith and deposeth that in or about the moneth
of december 1653 stile aforesaid, and before the said lading of the said proceed of
the Negro's in Spanish bottomes, the Spaniards at Santa domingo
having a designe upon a little Iland lying neere hispaniola
called Tertoodas, possessed by the ffrench, imbargoed and impressed the said two
shipps the Angell and the Sunn for transportation thither of
their soldiers; in consideration of which imployment of the said shipps
they promised this deponent and his said brother (commanders of the
said vessells) that they should have leave to make their retournes

and Lade the said proceed of their said Negro's in their said owne
shipps the Angell and the yellow Sun. But after they had served
their turnes, with such transportation oof their men in the said shipps,
and that the said shipps were retourned to Santa domingo, where the
masters hoped of leave to lade them as was promised, the Governour
and officers were soe farr from making their said promise good,
that they put this deponent and his said brother (masters andcommanders
of the said vessells) in prison, and there detained them prisoners
from May 1654 untill March next following and tooke away their shipps and goods and this
they did upon pretence of the said commanders comming to trade
there with the said shipps without License, And this was and
is true and publique.

To the fourth article hee saith and deposeth that on or about the
eighteenth day of March (new stile) next following the said
moneth of May 1654, and about six weekes before Generall
Penn and the English fleete came to hispaniola (according as
hee hath heard of the time of their arivall there) the Governour
and officers of Santa domingo caused this deponent and his said
brother to be imbarqued in a Spanish frigot and sent them away prisoners for
Spaine, in regard of such their comming (as was by the Spaniards pretended) to trade at Santa domingo, And saith that in their
course of proceeding for Spaine comming to the Westward of the
T[?e]rc[XX]a Ilands they met a fflushing man of warr, which being
of greater strength than the Spanish frigot tooke this deponent out of
the frigot, but with [?consent] of this deponent and of his said brother
