there namely at Lisbone the said Captaine (allbeit hee told this
deponent and his brother upon their comming from Tituan that at
Lisbone they should be dismissed with their shipp and freight) kept them
prisoners aboard his said frigot the maidstone, and afterwards
carried them out with him to sea, from place to place saying hee had received order to carry them againe to the Generall and comming
before Cadiz, the said Captaine Suffered the said Claes Johnbson this

thereof by the Generalls
order.

about two monethes after namely in or about August last and not
before coming back to Lisbone this deponent was dismissed,
But the said shipp and goods and freight were and are still detained
by the English. And saith that the said shipp Nicholas for every moneth of
the said time was worth (for her imployment or freight) the summe of
two hundred and fiftie pounds sterling, and was of the burthen
of two hundred and fiftie tonnes or thereabouts, and was ub very
good omployment when shee was seized.

To the twelveth hee saith that the said shipp Saint Nicholas at the time
of the said seizure had on board her foure and twenty guns,
and was in all things very well furnished fitted and provided, and
was with her said guns, tackle, apparell furniture and provisions
well worth the summe of two thousand pounds sterling, and that
hee saith was and is true and notorious.

To the thirteeneth article hee saith and deposeth that such of the
company of the Nicholas as were hurt or wounded, were soe hurt
and wounded after shee was seized and after the said Claes Johnson
the Commander and all the Spaniards were taken out of her
with the Maidstonre frigot, and were soe hurt
or wounded because they brake open and were plundring of a chest
of peeces of eight after the shipp the Nicholas was yeelded
and were not hurt or wounded for not fighting, it being too
late to thinke of fighting when the shipp was yeelded and the Captaine and passengers gonne [XXXX GUTTER] which hee knoweth being left in the
Nicholas, and seeing the premisses.
