Transcription

Furniture and then went and lay ahead of her until the
other two Dutch ships called the Orange and the Armes of Zealand also come up. And sayth that as soon
as the other two ships came up, they fired ther great and
small shot upon the Experience, and killed her Captaine and one
more of her company besides a passanger then on board her, and
then the captain and company of the Orange boarded and surprised
her, and one of then did after such boarding and surpriseall and
quarter given, kill one of the Experience her company in cold
blood. And further sayth that they stripped and plundered
the mariners of the Experience of all that belonged to them
and tooke away all theire papers and writings, and such as
they found which showed that the ship and the lading belonged
to English, they lost or threw overboard, and then after
severall other abuses done they carried away the said ship
and lading to Ponte Vedra in Gallicia, and there turned about
five and twenty of her company ashore in an enemies country, and
also did there contrey to law and justice (as this deponit conceiveth
and without any legall X broake the Experience
her bulke, and tooke out of her about two hundred and fifty
chests of sugar, and about twelve hundred rolls of tobaccoe
and disposed thereof at their pleasure; abd after ten or
twelve days keeping her these they carried her together
with the most of her lading to fflushing in Zealand and
from there to Middlesbrough, and did and still doo keepe
and detaine the same from the producents, The premises
he deposeth for that he was carried in the Experience to Gallinier
and there turned ashore, and then went into every one of the
these Dutch ships to get passage to Holland or forme other
place in friendship with England, but they and all said Dutch companies all tuned him
ashore, and would not permit him to continue in either of the said ships
whereupon this depont by stealth getting into the Orange
hid himself in her until she was out at sea and soo came in
her to Fflushing in company of the Experience, Et ate noscrit
AD 15 dicit that during the Experience her remaining at Brazeele
as aforesaid the said 35 depon did there cause severall bills
of lading, invoices letters and other papers and writings
to be put onboard her, which declared and signified the said
lading then onboard her to belong to the producents Bretton,
Delboe, Middleton and company, as (he sayeth) in truth they
did. All which bills of lading, invoices, letters, pepers and
writings he sayeth came to the hands and possession of the
three Dutch Captains and companies as some of them, and
they as some of them lose as threw the same over board
or caused them to be torne or throwne over board, as
did otherwise make away with them so that the producents
cannot have them whereby to put this premise with said
ship and lading. The premises he seposeth so that hee saw and who was
called Skipper Jacob, and who was put in X of the Experience.
