for the summe of 225 li Sterling on board the Charls (which was at Sea
out of the Comand, for the said ships the Golden Cock and the hope
and Ladings which the said Thomson and this Deponent Refused
to doe, their ships and Ladings being ffree, And upon their
refusall the said browne told them that if they would not hee
would carry their ships and Ladings to the [?S]eaven Islands
and their (sic) sell them, saying that there hee could sekk his father
for money, or to that effect, And saith that the said Thompson
and alsoe this Deponent did often tell the said Browne that
both the said ships did belong to Glascow and that they and their Ladings did belong to Merchants
of Glascow, and subjects of this Commonwealth, And the said
Browne hee saith tooke away the Cockett's and Papers
belonging to the said ships by which it did Appeare that they

not discharge the said ships unlesse the said Thompson
and this Deponent would advance the said Summe of 225. li

this Deponent were Constrained to borrowe of two Merchants of
Garnesey, And this Deponent sawe the said Thomson really
pay the Summe of 112. li 10. s sterling to the said Browne for
the said ship the Golden Cock, and Lading [XXX] and saith that
hee verily beleeveth that if the said Thompson had not
advanced and paid the said Summe of 112 li : 10 s: sterling the said
Browne would have Carried the Cock and Lading to the
Seaven Islands and there have sold the same, and soe the
said Browne oftentimes declared hee would./

To the 7th. 8th. and 9th. hee saith that the said Thomson was
forced to engage the said ship Cock and her lading for payment of
the said, Summe, and was Constrained to sell the said ships
Lading at Garnesey to pay the same, And saith that
the said Lading of Herrings Butter and Tallowe yeilded but
five and twenty hundred Liven. to this Deponents best remembrance
(hee selling his ships lading alsoe there). And saith that hee
verily beleeveth that the said Lading, at Bourdeaux had it bin
carried thither in safety (which in all probability it would have
bin had not the said Browne soe seized the said ship, would have
yeilded the summe of 5000 Liven and upwards which would have
produced about sixty Tonss of wine, which wine would have yeilded
at Glascowe aforesaid twenty foure Pounds Per Tonne or thereabouts
