and negligent tooke out of the said Prize
twenty Thousand Peeces of Eight which were [?laded] in her and brought the

the same could never be recovered; and saith that
while the said Prize was at Marsellis delivering, the
Dutch Consull came onboard her, to treate
with the said Winter about his abusing the Dutch men
that were in the said ship, and the said Winter did in
a very uncivill manner abuse and strike the said Consull this
Deponent seeing him soe doe, as hee this Deponent

Winter was Guilty of many crimes,. and misdemeanours against
the Dutch and other the freinds of this Nation, caused
him to be secured, untill hee could make further
inquiry into the busines, hee the said Captaine Stoakes being then very sick and
weake, and the said Winter not long after (knowing himselfe
to be Guilty) made his Escape, And further saith that
