Henry Cooley did intrust Captain Lane of the Solomon with 600. Rialls of 8. at his say ling for the Isles of Banda, which ship was unh ap pily taken by the Dutch.

Also he did in trust one Nicholas Gates which was in the Thomas, with Serasse, Pantadoes, White and Blue Baff•…•…es, to the value of 600. Rs. of 8. likewise in Money 150. Rs. of 8. which Goods being at Lantore, the Dutch taking that Town by an assault, was lost by the said •…•…cho∣las Gates, and the said Henry Cooley never re∣ceived any consideration for those Goods, as to my knowledge to this day, by reason of the Dutch seizing of all; the party being now a∣live, aged above threescore years, and to my knowledge at this time is glad to receive alms of h•…•…lf a Crown a week, or otherwise he might

perish, but for some good that charitable p•…•…o∣ple bestow upon him Alms.

This Henry Cooley now living can witnesse the Bandaneeses did come from the Ile of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to Bantam, and besought President Ball, that our King of England would please to be their Protector, and to keep them from the distur∣bance of all other Nations, and to that end they brought a great brass Bason fill'd with Earth, and a small growing branch with fruit on it, as a Pledge of their Resignall; Never∣theless the Hollander took their Lands and Goods from them, all that were in any wise friends to the English, and have kept them to their own use for these 31. years, that if they should give for them and Moleuco Islands 100000. l. per annum, to this Commonwealth, it were too little in my opinion.

Roger Powell which was killed in the Hound left an Estate to the va∣lue of 300. l. and upwards in ster∣ling Money, which is in Rs. of 8. 1500.	1500	0300
For Premio of 1500. Rs. of 8. after the usance rate of delivering them there in the Indies, which is

For simple Interest 900. l. for 31. years, since the loss of my Princi∣ple, at the rate of 8. l. per cent. per •…•…um, amounts to	0000	2232

David Powell, the brother of Roger Powell a∣bovesaid, deceased, hath been at charges to take out Letters of Administration, and afeer that petitioned our Privy Councell, that the Dutch might make them satisfaction, but to to this very day he never received any, th•…•… man being now sixty years of age, and very much indebted, desires he might be considered among the rest if they make satisfaction. This David Powell dwelleth in Chiswell street, and is a very honest man, and willing to pay what he is indebted, if he were in any wayes able.
