then sayd did belong to the arlate Symon da ffonseca Pyna of Madrid, and
amongst the rest the barr of sylver arlate marked as in the margent
and weighing 120 markes or thereabouts, which sayd parcells of silver
the sayd Porneliz then sayd he had order to remitt to Juan Alvarez
of Antwerpe for the producents accompt, and that he did intend to
send the same accordingly by Otto George, Christian Cloppenbergh and
John Martins whose ships then lay in the bay of Cadiz bound for

forementioned sayd parcells of sylver on board the sayd shipps, and withall shewed
this deponent bills of lading for the same, one whereof was the bill of

tenor for this barr of sylver now Claymed, and that one of them
