'''John Harbert''' of London Merchant, aged 30<br /> yeares or thereabouts sworne and examined. To the nineteenth article of the said allegation hee saith hee<br /> very well knoweth the shipp the ''Endimion'' allegate whereof<br /> Gervase Couchman was late commander and was aboard<br /> her immediately before her proceeding from the downes on the<br /> voyage in question, wherein hee knoweth shee sailed in<br /> the service and imployment of the English East Indiea<br /> company who were her freighters, and saith shee was<br /> dispeeded out of the downes on the said voyage on or about<br /> the third day of ffebruary Anno 1655 with order from the<br /> said companie to saile for Bantam, where shee was by the said<br /> companies order to take in her lading of pepper, sugar and other goods,<br /> which were proper for sale at Surat, and with the same to proceed for<br /> Surat, where by the same order shee was with the proceed thereof to take in such goods as were<br /> propper for the markets of Europe, and therewith to retourne for England,<br /> and that as hee by letters and dispatches from those parts (which hee hath<br /> seene) and otherwise bin informed and beleeveth the said shipp ''Endimion''<br /> arived before Bantam in August 1656 but was not by the dutch<br /> permitted to enter that port, whereby the designe was wholly<br /> frustrated, and the dammage thereby redounding to the companie<br /> very greate, for hee saith it is very probable and hee is fully<br /> perswaded that the agent and therest of the Companies factors would<br /> at Bantam and thereabouts have laded a cargo of pepper and other goods upon the said shipp, which<br /> would in all probabilitie have amounted unto about thirtie thousand<br /> Rialls of eight, and according to the said companies order have dispeeded<br /> her for Surat, where they might in their sale (according to former markets)<br /> have produced about 50 per cent profit which would have amounted to the summe of about<br /> fourtie five thousand Rialls of Eight, which summe of about fourtie<br /> five thousand Rialls of eight, if it had bin invested in goods<br /> procurable in and about Surat, as Callico's, Indico's and other<br /> goods, usually sent thence for England, might and probably would<br /> (though in dull markets) when the shipp had here arived have produced sixtie<br /> per cent profitt, which would have amounted to about seaventie<br /> thousand Rialls of eight, Soe that the companies losse (occasioned betweene Bantam and Surat<br /> by the said dutch their not suffereing the said shipp to goe into Bantam)<br /> being fifteene thousand Rialls of eight at five shillings per Riall<br /> (which is the usuall valew) amounts to three thousand seaven hundred and fiftie<br /> pounds sterling, and their losse betweene Surat and England (occasioned<br /> as aforesaid) being twenty seaven thousand Rialls at the said rate<br /> of five shillings per Riall amounts to six thousand seaven hundred<br /> and fiftie pounds, the whole losse to tenn thousand five hundred pounds.
