her being soe by the dutch hindered and prevented from taking in the
goods out of the Hopefull frigot, which by that meanes were left
behinde, and losse of market of those that were brought h[?ome]
and deterioration of them by fowle weather and leakines of the
shipp by her comming at such an unseaonable time (occasioned
as aforesaid) and otherwise suffered by the injurie aforesaid

pounds at the least, and further hee cannot depose

The same day.

Examined upon the foresaid allegation.

7.

Samuel Sambrooke of London Merchant, aged
44 yeares or thereabouts sworne and examined.

To the nineteenth article hee saith and deposeth that hee well knoweth
the shipp the Endimion allegate which the voyage in question was in
the service of the East India companie of England, and saith that shee
being dispatched out of the downes in or about the third of ffebruary
Anno 1655 with order from the said Companie to saile for Bantam
and there to take in her lading of pepper, sugar and other goods
propper for sale at Surat and with the same to proceed for
the said port of Surat, there to take in such goods as were propper
for the Europa markets, and therewith to retourne for England
the said shipp Endimion arrive (as hee hath bin creibly
informed and as by letters thence hee hath seene) before Bantam
in August 1656, but was not permitted by the dutch to
enter into that port, whereby the designe was wholey frustrated
to the greate dammage of the said companie, whose agent
and the rest of their factors would in all probabilitie have
laded a cargo of pepper and other merchanize upon
the said shipp, which in his conjecture would have amounted
unto about thirtie thousand Rialls of eight, and according
to the Companies order (which hee knoweth they gave) have
dispeeded her for Surat, where they might in their sale
(according to former markets) have produced about fiftie
per cente; which would have amounted to the umme of about
fourtiefivethousan Rialls of eight; which summe if it had
bin invested in goods procurable in and about Surat as
callico's; Indico' and other goods usually retourne thence for
England, might have produced (though in dull markets) when
the shipp had arived here sixtie per cent proffit, which
would have amounted to about seaventie thousand Rialls of
eight, soe that the losse betweene Bantam and Surat [?ha ?bin]
fifteene
