See the rest following

John Stokes of the parish of Saint Catherin neere
the Tower of London Mariner, aged 29 yeeres
or thereabouts sworne and exámined.

To the sixth article of the said Articles (upon which alone hee
is by direction of the producent exámined) hee saith and deposeth
that hee this deponent and his precontest James Nuttall, being
Officers or Searchers belonging to the Custome house, and having
notice of some goods brought to this port in a foreigne bottome
that were carried to and concealed in the house of the arlate Jenkin
Ellis in saint Catherines arlate, without paying of
custome, and with purpose to defraud his Highness the lord
Protector of the Capture thereof, they went and searched
his house and there found some tenn or dozen cabinets and some
fine linnen cloth hidd and concealed in his house, thereof custome
thereof not paid; All which they seized and carried to the
Custome house, and this hee saith was to his best remembrance
about nine monethes since, and after the seizure and carrying
thereof to the Custome house, the merchant came and owned them and
paid the Custome for them. And saith the said Ellis was (as
hee beleeveth) privie to such concealement and fraude, for
that hee opposed the carrying away and seizure of the said
goods, which were hidd and found in his Cole-hole. And
otherwise hee cannot depose , saving that if they had not bin
soe found out and seized, the duties both of Custome and
Excise had bin lost to his Highnes.
