The same day. [CENTRE HEADING]

Rp. 2.

John Bushell of London Merchant aged 36 yeeres or thereabouts
sworne before and examined as aforesaid saith and deposeth
as followeth, videlicet.

To the first Interrogatorie hee saith and deposeth that hee well know the
shipp interrogated named the Mayflower whereof Thomas Bell was
commander, and that in the moneth of August 1647 or thereabouts the
said shipp arived in the port of Lisbone, which hee knoweth being then there
and taking notice of such her arivall, and saith there were then brought
in the said shipp to Lisbone foure drie fatts of fustians marked as in
the margent and numbred 1. 2. 3. 4 for the accompt of William Carter
of London Merchant and consigned to him this deponent then resident at
Lisbone, and companie which hee knoweth because hee this deponent there received the bill of lading for the
same by the said shipp subscribed by the said master, and for the other
reasons following.

To the second and third hee saith that forthwith after the said shipps arivall her
lading (according to the manner there) was put into the Alfandigo
or Custome house of the king of Portugall at Lisbone, where this deponent
sawe them said foure drie fatts of fustians and dispatched three of them thence, and that the fourth
was remayning in the said Alfandigo after this deponents said dispatch of
the said three thence, and this deponent saw the same there remayning
within a few dayes after before the sequestracon or seizure of the goods there of
the English was there made, by the kinge of Portugall and the same fatt soe remayning
contayned according to Invoice one hundred and twelve halfe or fiftie
six whole peeces, of fustian and further that the same never came to this
deponents possession, nor was dispatched out of the Alfandigo by him, but the
said fatt of fustians together with other goods consigned to this deponent
were taken away and disposed of after and by meanes of the said seizure which the said kinge
or his ministers, and the proprietors dispoyled thereof, and never any
satisfaction was given for the same.

To the fourth hee saith hee this deponent hath certificates from the
king of Portugalls officer, appointed (by command of the Provedor), of all such goods
as hee this deponent dispatched out of the said Alfandigo in the yeares
1647. 1648. 1649. and 1650, and saith the said drie fatt of fustians that was seized is not
mentioned in the said certificates, which certificates hee saith are true.

To the fifth hee saith that the said three drie fatts soe dispatched by this deponent
out of the Alfandigo contained 288 halfe or 144 whole peeces of fustian
referring himselfe for the particular content of each drie fatt to the
said certificates, and saith the said fustians soe sequestred and taken
away were then worth at Lisbone one end or halfe peece with another both woaded and
unwoaded 2 Mill six hundred Res or thereabouts, which hee knoweth because
hee sold a good part of those in the three fatts by him dispatched after
that rate.
