Plantation) to take in goods wich they had left there in a storehouse, and
then this shipp (speaking of the said shipp the Golden Parrot), was
comming after them to take in the said goods out of the sloope, which
goods (as they alsoe acknowledged) belonged to the Merchant and
company of the said shipp, all dutch men. And saith that the next
day this deponent and company espying the said shipp in the offing,
weighed and made saile after her, and comming up with her this
deponent commanded the master aboard the frigot, who comming, and being
examined by this deponent, confessed then his shipp was named
the Golden Poppagay or Parrot, and belonged to fflushing, to
dutch men there, and then hee then came from Eustacia, Saint Christofors
Backstarr, and Nevis and then hee had bin in the English plantations in Saint
Christofors and Nevis, and was then going to Montserrat an English plantation, to take
in goods out of a Storehouse there, and thence was to goe to Guadeloup
and thence back to Nevis, Saint Christofors and Eustacias to
finish his lading; whereupon this deponent told him that hee
would be made prize for trading on the English plantations, to which
hee answered it was more than hee knew, for when hee came out
of fflushing, his masters (speaking of his owners or Imployers)
said nothing to the contrary but then hee might trade there, there having
other shipps come out before him from fflushing bound for the Barbada's and other
the Charibbe Ilands, and therefore hee thought it was free to trade
in the English plantations in th[?o]se parts there being peace between
England and holland, and said withall, this is the third shipp I
have lost, my Masters will never imploy mee again. And further
saith that shortly after this deponent coming with the said frigot and prize
left Christofors Iland, there came aboard the said shipp the Golden
Parrot (riding in the old Roade of Saint Christofors upon the English plantation)
one Mr Thomas dawson an English planter there living, to demand
goods out of the said shipp the Parrot, which hee said were sent to him
from fflushing, and that the said dawson making the said goods appeare
to be his, and getting an order from the English Commissioners there
for receiving the said goods, this deponent delivered them to him according
to the said order; And further saith then the English Inhabitants
in the said Iland of Saint Christofors declared unto and told this
deponent that the said shipp the Golden parrot before this
deponents meeting with her, had bin at the Sandepoint in the
English Plantation there, and had taken in a greate deale of tobacco then
from the English there. Moreover this deponent asking the said
master (John danielson) why hee had not brought an order from the
States of Holland, prohibiting him to trade in the English plantations
as well as [?harman drougt] had donne, hee answered that if
hee had knowne that hee would not trade at the English Plantations
hee would have gotten the same order. And lastly saith that at the
time of the said seizure the said shipp had aboard sugar, tobaccoe,
and ginger of the growth and make of the West Indies,
and a caske of Indico which her company confessed to have received
in the English Plantation at Saint Christofors, and for the reasons
aforesaid the said shipp was good prize to the English, trading
contrary to the Act. And otherwise he cannot depose.
