a fleet of English merchant men coming in the ship ffreindship
of London from the Canaries, bound for this port under conduct
of the Marmaduke and the Nightingale frigots, that were then
Convoyes, well knoweth that in or about the moneth of Janu=
ary last, the said ffrigot the Nightingale, whereof Captaine
John Lightfoot was Commander off the Island la Palma, met
with a Spanish ship (wherof Don ffrancisco de Morales
was Commander) called the Peahen or Turkey, comming
from the Havana, bound (as her Company said) for Tene-
riffe, and set upon and seizwed the said Spanish ship with her lading
of hides; Logwoods; Jolle[?p] and some other goods, and some piggs
of plate and other silver; and sayth that the said ship the
Peahen submitting, the said Captain Lightfoot desired this
Deponent who was then casually aboard the ffrigot, and could speake
Spanish, to goe aboard the said Spanish ship with some of his
men, and to see that his men did not goe into the great
Cabbin to plunder or purloine ought thence, and that this deponent
went accordingly, and comming into the great Cabin of the Peahen
the said Don ffrancisco de Morales tooke his keys and opened the
Chests of plate that were there, being foure in number, and shewed
the same to this deponent and would have had this deponent to have taken
the said keys, which he refused; but sayth that some while after
(on the same day of the seizure) the said Captain Lightfoot came aboard
the said ship the Peahen or Turkey, and taking notice of the said
chests, and the same being opened, he caused the plate and pieces
of eight that were in one of them to be taken out and put in
the other three, and also caused a chest of plate that was in
the Hold to be brought up, and soe sent them asll foure aboard,
his said frigot; And sayth that this deponent and the said Captain being re=
turned into the frigot. the said Captain desired this deponent to cast up
an account of the contents of the said foure chests, wherein he sayth
were piggs of plate, and severall baggs of pieces of eight
and the weight that was upon them casting up the amount of the whole
found the pigs to extend and amount to the value of nine thousand and
odde hundred pieces of eight, and the wrought plate and pieces
of
