quantityes of sylver plate and moneyes for his sayd fathers Accompt to be
delivered to him or his order att Ostend whither the sayd shipps were bound,
and saith that the sayd letter was in the nature of an Invoice mentioning the
severall particulars of the sayd money and sylver, the particulars whereof
this deponent now remembreth not. And saith that att the same tyme the sayd
Dominick Martin told this deponent that he did expect every day to heare of the

of Christian Cloppenbergh, Otto George and John Martinsdorp respectively
which bills are exhibited in this Court. ffor which reasons This deponent
verily beleiveth that the sayd dominick martin in the moneth of October 1652
was and att present is the true and lawfull Owner of all and singular the moneys
