Jamaica hether in her with the said tobaccoes. And saith the said
Tobaccoes were of the Growth of the West India's under the power
of the king of Spain, and were brought thense to Jamaica in a
Spanish vessell, and there taken out of the said Spanish vessell and
landed in expence, taken and put aboard the said shipp the Successe
to be brought for England, all which this deponent being
then at Jamaica saw donne, and saith the said tobaccoe was really
belonging to Spaniards as hee that brought it to Jamaica
confessed often times in this deponents heareing, and of it, there were
three Manoco's of cherie tobaccies which were for á present for
the Vice Roy of Cartagena, to which place the said vessell was
designed, which Manoco's were alsoe landed at Jamaica, And
saith that by the make of the said tobaccoes, they are clearly knowne
to such as are acquainted with that commoditie (as this deponent saith
hee is) to be of the privity and make of the Spanish West Indias.

To the second hee saith that after the arrival of the said tobaccoes
in the said shipp the Successe in this port, they were seized by the
interrogated Captaine Consell, who as hee said had a Commission from
this Court for seizure of the goods of the Subiects of the king
of Spaine, And otherwise hee cannot answer.

Repeated before doctor Godolphin.
