Enemies of the Parliament shee was in the moneth of
September in the yeare 1644 mett withall and sett upon by three
French Men of warre and by them was seized surprized and
taken and was afterwards carried into Brest where shee was with
her tackle and furniture and all things else belonging unto her condemned
for prize and soe became utterly lost to the owners thereof who by the
Parliaments order had sett out the same in theire service. And
saith That presently after the seizure of the said shippe the said
Edward Basen Commander then of (sic) did goe from Brest
to Paris and did there solicite and use all possible Endeavours
for restitution of the said shipp and spend and laid out much
money thereabouts as by his letters sent from thense to Brest
(which this deponent sawe) hee often declared, Howbeit hee saith
that the said Captaine Bason could not prevaile heerein nor could
hee obtaine any Justice at Paris in relation to the restitution of
the said ship. but was after a tedious waiteing there forced to
come away without her. All which hee knoweth to bee true
