(3) As deputy - lieutenant he levied and received money to provide armour. Appeals to the orders of the Lord Lieutenant. Asserts that he has laid out on that service £300 of his own money. (4) Has received money for the repairing of bridges. Asserts that he has paid out £40 or £50 more than he ever received in this respect. (5) Having been appointed Treasurer for maimed soldiers, he continued to levy money after his year of office had expired. Asserts that he has already paid out money which he had not received - so he hopes his action was lawful. (6) Maintains sorcery. This he utterly condemns and abhors as most wicked; for his own part desires all witches and sorcery to do him the worst and the devil their master. (7) He is charged with maintaining lewd and unnecessary alehouses. He replies that he is the only JP who has taken action against alehouses, but that Owen Ellis and his brother-in-law do maintain them and commit most filthy abuses in them.

(4) The Lord Admiral's officer, Thomas Wynn, will not apprehend any of them but rather patronises them as he has done these men. (5) The danger of the time. Hugh Owen, being their countryman and traitor, and gone (as is thought) with Sir William Banbury to Spain. Lest he should either seek or send for intelligence or send spies for the like.

(1) They were charged upon their allegiance to submit themselves to examination, and to allow the ship to be examined lest any spies or unlawful persons were aboard. They refused saying they would rather burn themselves and the ship. (2) A person was then sent with a saw to cut their rudder, thereby to force them to remain to give answer. They discharged shot at him, shooting him through the shoulder. He is now in danger of his life. (3) They sent up a French flag of defiance which was done in derogation of Her Majesty with diverse other lewd speeches and outrages by them committed.
