 ==Norwich stuffs traded to Spain and the Canaries==
-Twenty-five year olf London merchant, Elias Watson, testified as to the great loss and damage suffered by XXXX Cowse, "especially in the Aurellas Cheynies and ffloranides Schedulate being (in all forty peeces of Norwich stuffs)." These goods were to have been sold at Saint Lucar in Spain, but were instead transported to Palma in the Canaries, where, according to Watson, the agents of Cowse were forced to pay multiple unnecessary customs duties. Moreover, due to the outbreak of war between England and Spain, Watson claimed that Watson was unable to recover the money for the goods when he sold them in Palma.

 ==French watered tabbies shipped from Haver de Grace in France to Cadiz in Spain by Jewish merchants of Amsterdam==
-The thirty-eight year old London merchant Christofer Boone was the London correspondent for two Amsterdam Jewish merchants, Andrew and Christofer Munez.  The Munez merchants had shipped expensive mohaire cloth of gold and silver from haver de Grace in France to Cadiz in Spain in the hare in the ffeild.  As Jews they did not have freedom to trade in Spain, and so had shipped the goods under the alias of Meyenbergh, calling themselves Robert and Henry Meyenberg (alt. Meyenburgh). The ship had been seized by ships of the Commonwealth and brought first to Portsmouth and then to London.

 Christofer Boone's link with the Andrew and Christofer Munez may have come from his own extensive involvement in the Spanish trade, having worked in Seville as a factor for Thomas Boone in the late 1640s, and continuing to be active in Seville and Spain in the 1650s and 1660s, with his own factor resident in Spain. Acting for the Munez merchants, Boone had secured the restoration of the Munez' goods.

Indeed, in his deposition, Christopher Boone was upfront about the use of an alias, stating that:
