againe the Grand signior ought to have more Customs for them and
still hindered this deponent and company from reladeing the rest of
them, And this deponent being a stranger there and not knowing what
was requisite to be done in such a case, did apply him selfe to the
Interrogate Roger ffowke who is (as this deponent beleeveth) and by common repute
is accompted to bee) the English Consull there, and the sayd ffowke
had conference with the officers and souldiers of the Grand signior and
by promises of reward or other meanes soe pacified them at the
present that they suffered this deponent and Company to relade all the sayd
goods on board the said shipp, and the same being reladen the sayd
ffowke demanded of this deponent eighteene hundred pieces of
eight for the cleereing the sayd goods pretending that hee had paid
to the Grand signiors officers and his owne dues for Consullage
for them, did amount to soe much, but this deponent knowing that
the Customs and Consullage for them had bin once paid before that,
did refuse to pay to the sayd ffowke the sayd summe and told him
