Transcription

they the sayd Sedgewick and Levert refused to deliver the same
and sayd to this deponent that the examinations taken in the Admiralty
Court concerned not them the sayd Sedgewick and Leveret, and that they
conceived the sayd Admiralty Court had nothing to doe with the matter,
and sayd that they the sayd Sedgewick and Leveret had taken the sayd
shipp and her ladeing by authority of their Commission, and that they
had power enough by their Commission to condemne her for lawfull
prize, and that by a Councell of Warr they had condemned her
and her ladeing for lawfull prize according to writings they found in
her, and alsoe then sayd that without order from the Lord Protector or
the Commissioners of the Admiralty from whome they had their Commission
they would not deliver the sayd shipp or goods, or they then spake words
to the like effect in the presence of this deponent and the forenamed witnesses
And this deponent further saith that upon teh 26th day of June 1654 for
this deponent went againe accompanied with the sayd Woods and
Garrett and one Mr Edward Grey and Nathaniell South a Notary Publique unto the sayd Sedgewick (the sayd
Leveret being gone forth and not present) and againe of him the sayd
Sedgwick demanded the sayd shipp Saint John Baptist and her ladeing
to the use of the sayd Arnold and Elias Beake and Company to Owners
in the presence of the sayd witnesses, but hee the sayd Sedgewick persisted
in his refusall to deliver the same, and this deponent thereupon
did the sayd sixe and twentith day of June make a profitt in the presence
of the sayd publique Notary and witnesses next aforenamed against the sayd
Sedgewick and all others whome it may or doth concerne for all costs and damages which had happened or
should happen to the sayd Owners by reason of the sayd Sedgwick
and Leveret their seizure and deteyning and disposing of the sayd shipp Saint
John Baptist and her ladeing, And hee saith that having perused
the schedule in the fowerth article mentioned hee well knoweth the same
to be the originall protest which hee this deponent caused the sayd
Nathaniell Souther to drawe up and sawe the sayd Nathaniell and
James Garrett Edward Grey and Thomas Wood subscribe their names
thereto in manner as they now appeare upon the sayd schedule And
further saving his subsequent deposition hee cannot depose

To the 5th article hee cannot of his certayne knowledge depose any
thing but hath heard one who was Stiersman of the Saint John Baptist
when shee was seized and continued on board her till her arrivall
at Boston in New England and her arrivall then at London, sayd that the Company put on board the sayd shipp Saint John
Baptist by the sayd Sedgewick and Leveret did drinke nothing but wine
a shipp board for a good while videlicet during the tyme of her being unladeing at
Boston
