aboard belonging to himselfe, and the same day they tooke away alsoe
a greate deale of sugar out of two other chests, and embeazeld or made
all the said goods away, depriving this deponent and company and the
said shipp of the same together with two [?line ?towes] belonging to the shipp,
wherewith they hoisted over the chests that they soe tooke away. And
saith that having soe plundred the said shipp that day, they in the
evening brought this deponent in on of the boates to Portsmouth
and there this deponent was taken alonge with the said Captaine ashore
into a Victualling house or Inne and there kept all that night,
and the next day this deponent was carried before some Commissioners
or other officers to be examined, who behaved them selves with soe much
eagernesse to intrap him in his examinination, and to seeke advantage from
his words (as hee apprehended by them) that hee refused to proceede
unlesse hee might have some knowne and indifferent interpreter, whereby
hee might be sure not to be wronged; whereupon this deponent
wasa committed to the common gaole in Portsmouth or a worse prison
then the Common gaole, and there kept all the say without eating or
drinking, untill eveing when hee was taken out and put into a
Chamber in the Sergeant or Gaolers house and there kept seaven or
eight dayes, and then examined, being constrained to be examined by
the same Commissioners or Officers and Interpreter that first tooke in
hand as aforesaid to examine him. And saith the said captaine
after the seizure used opprobious and vilifying termes to this deponent
calling him Sea-rover, and otherwise reproaching him.
And when this deponent spake to him and asked him whie hee made
such spoile of this deponents oranges and lemmons, and goods, hee answered
that it was for his pleasure.
