To the 6. and 7. he saith he was present a … To the 6. and 7. he saith he was present att and in all the sayd fight <br />
from the begining to the end thereof, and saith that he knoweth that<br />
the ''advantage frigott'' haled shott att and fought with the ''Morning'' <br />
''Starr'' or ''Golden Starr'' under the English colors onely and noe other<br />
and saith he hath heart that the Captaine and company of the sayd<br />
''Golden Starr'' have reported and given out that the ''Advantage''<br />
haled and fought under the dutch and ffrench colors, wherein he saith<br />
they have reported an untruth if so it be that they have so reported.<br />
And otherwise he cannot depose.
To the 8 he saith the ''Advantage frigot'' fired two or three gunns att the ''Golden''<br />
''Star'' before the ''Golden Starr'' fired any, that is to say one or 2 att a great<br />
distance to demand the usuall homage, and one being come upp with<br />
her to bring her foresayle to the mast that she might submitt to a visit<br />
And otherwise cannot depose.
To the 9. he saith the sayd shipp the ''Golden Starr'' or ''Morning Starr'' gave<br />
and made the first broad side against the ''Advantage'' and otherwise<br />
negatively.
To the 10th he saith he doth believe that it is usuall to accompt such <br />
shipp for a Searover or pyrate as after haling another shipp under<br />
the colours of one State, doth change her colars and use the Colours of <br />
another state different from the first, and that such shipp and the Company<br />
thereof may being by suspected for an enemy to the sayd shipp so<br />
haled. But saith tht the ''Advantage'' did hale shoot and fight <br />
under the English colours onely, and changed their said Holland colors att least<br />
halfe an houre before they haled the ''Golden Starr''; and further<br />
saith for a shipp of warr att distance to weare false colours <br />
to bring another shipp to Leewardwith intent to speake with and visit<br />
her, as the ''Advantage'' did was not nor is not an argament of Pyracy<br />
but was and is an usuall Stratagem and policy of warr, and very<br />
necessary and lawful as he beleiveth and otherwise cannot depose.
To the 11th he saith that he this Rendent and severall of both the sayd shipps<br />
Companies the ''Advantage'' and ''Waterhound'' were aboard the ''Golden Starr''<br />
or ''Morning Starr'' after the taking thereof. And saith that the Clerke<br />
of the Checque belonging to the ''Waterhound'' did take out some plate<br />
and sylver out of the ''Morning Starr'' before the sayd shipp was brought<br />
into this River, but the quantity thereof he knoweth not. And saith<br />
he this Rendent did not take out of the sayd shipp any money plate<br />
sylver or goods. And otherwise he cannot depose saving he saith<br />
that severall quantityes of small things above dock being accounted<br />
usuall and lawfall plunder were likewise taken away out of the sayd<br />
shipp before she came into this River by some of the company of the ''Advantage''<br />
and ''Waterhound'', but who tooke the same in particular or to what quantity their<br />
in kind or value this Rendent cannot sett forth.
To the 12.th he saith he beleiveth it is usuall for any shipp being haled<br />
by another shipp wearing false colors to stand upon the defensive guard<br />
but saith that the ''Advantage'' did hale with her owne true Colours videlicet<br />
the Colours of this Commonwealth and otherwise cannot depose.
Tomonwealth and otherwise cannot depose.
