TNA, HCA 15/6: Extract, The humble petition of John Martindorp commander of the ship S:t George of Hamburgh, 3rd April 1655
"To the Hono:ble the Judges of the High Court of Admiralty. The humble peticon of JOHN MARTINDORP Comander of the Ship S:t George of Hamburgh for & in the behalfe of himselfe & the rest of the Owners of the said Ship. SHEWETH, That in the
tyme of the late warre betweene England & Holland, the said Ship (w:th others) was taken & brought into England; and that for two yeares & upwards there hath depended a suite in this Hono:ble Court about the proving her to be prize: But after all possible endeavo:rs to that purpose, and expense of much tyme & money in charges to the exceeding damage & detriment of the Interessed, a Sentense hath lately passed in this Hono:ble Court for the setting free of the said Ship and her freight. Neverthles upon informacon putt in by one THOMAS VIOLETT, that out of the Ship SAMPSON of LUBECK (whereof OTTO GEORGE was Comander) some Silver hath beene purloyned or imbeasiled, under that pretence yo:r pet:rs Ship is also deteyned so that he can reape no benefitt by yo:r Hono:rs said Sentense. Now for that yo:r pet:rs Ship is of HAMBURGH and the SAMPSON of LUBECK as aforesaid, & the one no way involved in the others buisines or attempts: And for that yo:r pet:r ought not to answer, for anothers accons: THEREFORE yo:r pet:rs most humble desire and request is that (according to yo:r Hono:rs said Sentense) his said Ship may be speedily discharged, wherby both he & it may be preserved from utter ruine, w:ch otherwise is like to ensue. AND yo:r pet:r as in duty bound shall ever pray s:r./. JOHN MARTINDORP (His signature)"
