company of the same, and turned them all out of her into the said
boate that soe came aboard her and after they had carried them on board the said Coxes frigot and there detained them one night, they were all the
next day by the order of the said Cox and Japoon turned on shoare at Cape Lopez, saving a French man whom
Captaine Cox tooke and retained, who was all the strangers
that were of the Brotherhoods company, the rest being all
English, and subiects of this Commonwealth: and saith that
they were soe put on shoare at Cape Lopez in a very sadd and
furlorne condition, destitute of all necessaries, and there they were
left and remained the space of twenty dayes or thereabouts, and
then another English shipp named the happie ffortune by gods providence arriving
there, they got passage in her for the Barbada's. And saith that after
such seizure, the said company by whom her seizure was soe made
tooke and carried the said shipp the Brotherhood, and brought her to
an anchor betwixt the said frigots of the said Cox and Japoon,

deponent and the rest of the Brotherhoods company got passage
from Cape Lopez, were sold and bartered away upon her arrivall
there, where the Brotherhood might in all
probabilitie (had shee not bin soe seized) have arrived a moneth
sooner than the said shipp happie fortune, namely shee
might (in all probabilitie) have bin there at the furthest
by the beginning of Aprill last past, at which time Negro's
(as it was there commonly said) were there commonly sold at the
rate aforesaid; and saith that each pound of the said sugar was then
ordinarily worth and sold for five pence per pound one pound
with another.

To the sixth article hee saith that at the time of the said seizure
there were aboard the said shipp the Brotherhood and belonging to
her master and company upwards of one hundred of large Elephants teeth,
a quantitie of Guinea gold, together with sea Instruments
clothes and necessaries all to the valew and worth in his opinion
of five hundred pounds sterling, all which were taken away by
the said seizure and they thereof deprived and dispoiled, which hee
knoweth for the reasons aforesaid.

To the seventh hee saith the said shipp the Brotherhood was then of
the burthen of sixtie tonnes or thereabouts, and was very well fitted,
