a Certificate from the said master importing that the said shipp with the<br />

at sea surprized by an English man of warr, and that the Commander and<br />
Company of the said man of warr had violently and forcibly taken out of<br />
the said shipp the said perpetuanae's and baies; Upon the receipt of which said<br />
letter of advise and Certificate the said producent sent letters to sewerall of his Correspondents<br />
in the West of England desireing them to use their best endeavours to discover whether<br />
any such goods were brought up to any of those ports or places, and shortly after hee<br />
the said producent received intelligence from Andrew Jennings his Correspondent<br />
at Penryn in Cornewall, That sewerall goods of the like nature were brought up<br />
intoCornewall by a private man of warr sett out and imployed by Peter<br />
Ceely and Alexander Penhallocke who had each of them 1/3 parts of the said<br />
goods, and that the rest were disposed of amongst the said man of warrs<br />

bales of perpetuanaes and two bales of minnekin bayes were at the time<br />
of their lading aforesaid worth the summe of Two hundred Twenty eight<br />
pounds twelve shilings and six pence sterling money, and so much the said<br />
goods with all their incident Charges before her lading thereof, did cost the said<br />
producent as this deponent hath observed out of the bookes of accompts of the said<br />
producent, and this deponent verily beleeveth, That if the said goods had safely arrived<br />
at Saint Sebastians, as the said shipp the ''Peter'' afterwards did, and had been there sold<br />
and deposed of to the Owners best advantage, they might have produced about<br />
one hundred pounds benefitt to the said producent, by reason, that the warr then<br />
being betwixt the English and dutche Commodities of that quality were very<br />
rare and bore a very high price at Saint Sebastians, as was then well knowne<br />
and observed by Merchants/ And further cannot depose./
