shipp And hath Credibly heard
that after the Saint John Baptist was departed from the Canaries that
yeare 1657 the sayd five pipes of wine marked as aforesayd were
by the sayd Perez laden aboard the Mary and Joyce to be transported
thence for London for Accompt of the sayd Britton yet under the feigned
name of david Constantine and consigned by the bills of ladeing to
the sayd William and John Vandervoart And further to this article hee
cannot depose./
To the 7th and 8th articles and the bill of ladeing therein mentioned
hee saith hee cannot of certayne knowledge depose to the contents thereof
for that hee was gone from the Canaries before the ladeing of the
sayd five pipes of wine aboard the Mary and Joyce yet verily beleeveth
that the sayd Perez did (as hee had done for the other twenty five
pipes hee had laden aboard the Saint John Baptist for Accompt of
the sayd Robert Britton) for the better securing them from seizure
and confiscation as the goods of a subiect of the Commonwealth of
England make use in the bills of ladeing signed for the sayd
five pipes of the feigned name of david Constantine and consigne
them to be delivered to the arlate William and John Vandervoart
as in the bill of ladeing arlate now shewed to him is expressed
which bill hee beleeveth to be one of the bills of ladeing signed by
the sayd Stafford for the sayd five pipes of wyne And further
hee cannot depose./
To the 9th hee saith for the reasons in his foregoeing deposition
declared hee verily beleeveth and is firmly perswaded
in his conscience that by the name of david Constantine in the bill of ladeing arlate
named (as well as in those signed by him this deponent for the other
twenty five pipes laden aboard the Saint John Baptist for Accompt of
Robert Britton under that name of david Constantine) the sayd Robert
Britton is really meant and intended, and that the sayd Robert
Britton is in truth he person for whose Accompt the sayd five pipes
of wine were laden aboard the Mary and Joyce, and that in the sayd
bill by the names of William and John Vandevoart the arlate
Richard Baker is intended, and that the sayd Baker is the person to
whome the sayd five pipes of wyne are consigned. And further to
this article hee cannot depose
To the 10th Article and the l[?a]tter bill of ladeing and factorie therein
mentioned, saving his foregoeing deposition hee cannot depose./
To the 11th for the reasons in his foregoeing deposition declared
hee is well assured that the five pipes of wine arlate were really
provided and laded aboard the shipp arlate out of the goods and
effects of the arlate Robert Britton remayning in the hands of the
arlate don Lewis Perez da Victoria And hee verily beleeveth that
that noe person but the sayd Britton had or hath any share in or
runneth
