Ad primum, 2um, 3um et 4um Arlos [?dae] Allonis deponit et dicit That this
Deponent comming from the Canaries in the ship Swallow in Company of a fleet of
other English ships, whereunto the Nightingale frigot (John Lightfoot
Comander) with another English frigot were Convoyes, well knoweth that
in or about the moneth of January last the said fleet met with the ship
arlate The Turkey or Pea-hen (in sight of the Island La OPalma) a
Spanish ship bound, as her Company affirmed, for Teneriffe; And upon such
meeting, the said Captaine Lightfoot and Company in the said frogt the Nightingale
set upon and tooke the said Spanish ship with her lading of hides, Logwood,
sugar, and some other goods, and some pieces of eight. And sayth that upon the
said seizure this Deponent saw a great Chest brought from the said Spanish ship
aboard the said frigot the Nightingale, And this Deponent being then aboard the
Nightingale saw the said Chest broke open by Captaine Lightfoots order and in his
presence, and being so opened, this deponent saw severall bags of pieces of
eight therein (as he concweiveth and verily beleeveth they were by the
clinking and noise they made upon stirring and removall) and
alsoe saw five or six pigs of silver (as he alsoe by the weight
and fashipn conceived them to bee) wrapped up in Canvas.
And then and there this Deponent saw the said Captaine
Lightfoot take all the said bags with the contents, and barrs or
piggs out of the said Chest, and put o dispose them into a
place apart in his Cabbin. And sayth that on or about
the same day this Deponent having spoken with Captaine
ffrancisco de Moralis Commander of the said shipp the
Pea-hen or Turkey, heard him say and affirme that
there was in that chest in pieces of eight and barrs or
piggs of silver to the value of fourteene thousand pieces
of eight, and also that in abother chest that was (as he
said) also seized in the said ship, there were pieces of
eight to the number or value of betweene five and
six thousand pieces of eight; and that the whole losse
in silver only, by the said seizure in the said two Chests
amounted to twenty thousand pieces of eight, or thereabouts
And further he cannot depose, saying he doth not
know the Claymer./
