to Hollanders and in particular this Deponent did
demand of John Moller. the Instructions which hee
brought with him out of Holland from his
pretended Imployers and the order which hee
received at Santa Cruze for the making of his foure[GUTTER]
bills of Lading; (whereby hee was engaged to deliver
the goods in the said ship at Amsterdam ) and In[struct GUTTER]
=ing him to deliver the said Goods at Cadiz: but [GUTTER]
the said John Moller a long time Denied to
this Deponent that hee ever had any Instructions in writing
saying that the management of the whole Voyage
was left solely to him, but this Deponent Pressing the
Contrary by his owne experience that merchants
did not adventure their estates in the hands of the
ffactors whom they sent abroad without giving them
Instructions; in writing howe to manage[the GUTTER]
same, the said Moller then confessed that hee [had GUTTER]
throwne the same overboard, as is declared in [this GUTTER]

dated the 13th day of Aprill 1659. And for the said
order, which the said Moller pretended to have received

hee should order the said Mollar to saile with
said ship and Lading to Cadiz where he should
receive further orders or to that effect which this

yet nothing thereof appeared, but the said Mollar told him
hee should see them come out of Holland, And
further cannot depose./:
