pany could not for some tyme bee admitted to speake with them nor not soe
much as from off the wall of he Castle the centeries prohibiting
any speech with them And further hee cannot depose saving hee
saith hee heard severall English souldiers who served the dutch
there sayd that the sayd Kingsman and Carde were very cruelly
used in the Castle and found to lye upon the bricke pavements having
noe cloathes but their wearing garments to cover them./

To the 7th Interrogatorie hee saith that the sayd Kingsman after a while
having liberty to speake to those of his Company who came to
him in presence of souldiers who garded him, and from the walls
of the Castle, this deponent one day coming to him the sayd
Kingsman speaking from the wall of the Castle to this deponent
who stood belowe in the Court of Guard desyred this deponent to
looke out for a Notary publique and get him to come thither to
him and soeake with him, which this deponent did, and a
Notary coming the sayd Kingsman with the helpe
of an English drummer who could speake dutch alsoe, had

standing in the Court of Guard which was about sixe

and drummer stood in conference togeather, heard the sayd drummer
tell the sayd Kingsman that the Notary sayd hee could doe nothing
nor durst doe nothing in his busines without consent of the Generall
John Matsooker And this deponent understanding some dutch (though hee
cannot perfectly speake the language) and meeteing with the Notary
soone after in the streete in Batavia, the Notary told this deponent
that hee had spoken with the Generall and that hee would not consent
that hee should doe any thing in the sayd Kingsmans busines and
therefore hee durst doe nothing therein for feare of either
looseing his life or being turned out of his place, And saith
that this deponent alsoe heard the Interrogate Mr [?Vernate]
sayd that the Court had given liberty to the sayd Kingsman to
choose one who might bee of Counsell for him in the sayd busines and
that the sayd Kingsman had made choise of him the sayd [?Vernate] and
that teh Court after hee had soe made choise would not admitt him the
said [?vernat] to bee of Counsell for the sayd Kingsman And further
hee cannot depose./
