 Thirty-seven year old John Leemkuell deposed on March 20th 1654. He was examined on an allegation on behalf of the claimers in the case of "The Clayme of John Scothering Senator of Hamburgh and others for their goods in the ''Peter'' whereof Mathias Cornelison was Master".  The case concerned a ship named the ''Saint Peter'' (Master: Mathias Cornelison) which was to go from Toulon to Genua and then to Hamburg with freight for John Scothering. The ship had been laden at Toulon by Tobias Zollicoffer, one of the family of Swiss Zollicoffer merchants.<ref>[[HCA 13/68 f.651r Annotate|HCA 13/68 f.651r]]</ref> The ship, as reported by Leemkuell, was a Swedish ship and her master a Swede.<ref>[[HCA 13/68 f.652v Annotate|HCA 13/68 f.652v]]</ref>
-John Leemkuell stated that he had been a correspondent of the Hamburgh senator and merchant John Scothering for the last four years (so since ca. 1650). Leemkuell had received a letter from Paul Langerman, another Hamburg merchant, informing him of the lading of goods for John Scothering by Tobias Zollicoffer at Toulon.<ref>[[HCA 13/68 f.651v Annotate|HCA 13/68 f.651v]]</ref> Leemkuell stated that he had received another letter from John Scothering advising him that if the ship and goods should arrive in Flanders, he, Leemkuell, was to procure a license to bring and sell the currants (or some of them) in London. In such circumstances Leemkuell was to sell the currants in London and to remit half the proceeds to John Scothering in Hamburg and half to the Zollicoffers. Leemkuell reported having received a letter of advice from Marseilles containing extracted papers from the Toulon Court of Admiralty. These papers stated that the currants, prior to being loaded at Toulon into the ''Saint Peter'' had been taken at sea from a ship named the ''Great Turk''' alias the ''Hope'' by the Knights of Malya and brought to Toulon as prize.<ref>[[HCA 13/68 f.652r Annotate|HCA 13/68 f.652r]]</ref>
