To the Interrogatories given in 26th of May 1653. [CENTRE HEADING]
To the first and second Interrogatory this deponent saith that he hath heard that It<br />
hath bene prohibited by the King of Spayne for any persons to lade any<br />
money plate Bullion or sylver att or in Cadiz or other the ports of Spayne to be<br />
transported from thence without licence, And beleeveth there is and hath bene<br />
a generall and publique fame thereof, But whether in deed there be any<br />
such prohibition this Rendent saith that of his owne knowledge he cannot<br />
depose, howbeit this deponent hath knowne that some persons have bene<br />
released when they have bene found endeavouring the transportation of<br />
sylver by the Ministers and officers of the sayd King; but after any<br />
sylver is laden aboard he saith the says Ministers so farr as he knoweth<br />
or beleeveth have noe power to arrest the same, or molest the persons that<br />
laded it. and further saith that he knoweth that it is usuall after any<br />
such sylver is arrived in the Ports of fflanders for merchants to dispose<br />
thereof freely att their owne wills without molestation, And further<br />
saith that every person that att Cadiz or other ports of Spaine ladeth any money plate bullion and sylver<br />
aboard any shipp without Registring the same and obtaining a License<br />
to the effect interrate doth not thereby loose the propriety therein unless the same be there apprehended but doth<br />
still continue true and lawfull Owner thereof, and as and for his owne goods<br />
may dispose of the same in every free port; And so to this deponents<br />
certayne knowledge and experience It is held and practised in the ports <br />
and places in fflanders under the Jurisdiction of the sayd King of Spaine<br />
himselfe. And otherwise he cannot depose.
