some of them about their selling and this deponents buying the
same, and did offer them fiftie pounds per tonne for the [?oile]
and fourtie shillings per barrel for the anchovas one with
another, and soe much hee would willingly have given for them
and indeed they were as hee saith then very well worth soe
much and were worth more by tenn pounds per tonne for
the oiles for the space of a moneth or six weekes together next before
such comming in of the said vessell, which her comming in was in or
about the end of the moneth of June 1654, All which hee
knoweth for that hee is by trade an oile man and hath bin a shop keeper
and dealer in the said trade (as a master) for thise thirteene
yeeres last or thereabouts. And further hee cannot depose,
saving this deponent tasting of the said oiles found
and knew that they were of the best sort of Genoa oiles
and knew alsoe that the anchovas were alsoe of the best sort

Examined upon the foresaid allegation.

John Seade of London Oileman, aged 58 yeares
or thereabouts sworne and examined.

To the fifth article of the said allegation hee saith and
deposeth that in or about the later end of July 1654
hee this deponent bought of the producents James
and company a parcell of the best Genoa oiles amounting
to five and twenty tonnes which were brought to this port shortly
before in the Packet frigot at the rate of fourtie seaven
pounds for every two hundred thirtie and six gallons
of oiles soe by him bought, every two hundred thirtie and
six gallons of the said oiles being a tonne according to the
Gage of Sivill, and soe much this deponent paid for the same
and soe much hee saith it was then well worth, But if the said
shipp had arived with the said oiles a moneth or six weekes
or two monethes sooner, the said oiles would have yeelded
fiftie pounds for every like quantitie of gallons or every tonne [?of]
Sivill gage, for that they were vey scarse, but at or
about the time of the said shipp the Packet frigots arivall
there came the like commodities in other shipps, which
caused the fall of the market, All which hee knoweth
being an Oileman by trade, and dealing
often times for greate quantities of oile, and otherwise
hee cannot depose, saving that the oiles brought to this [?port]
the said time in the Packet frigot were of the best Genuoa [?sort]
