"Whereas Harington Fynes, Esquire, about the beginning of May, 12th Charles I, caused about fourscore men to be shipped at Boston in Lincolnshire, as passengers, with intent that they should be landed at Harwich; for the landing of whom Sir Henry Fynes, of Kirkstead in Lincolnshire, Knight, and Robert Hutton, of Lynn in the county of Norfolk, by their obligation dated May, in the 12th year of Charles, became bound to His Majesty in £600-Now this deponent declares that he was one of the said persons so shipped, and for which the said obligation was entered into: and that the said ship and men being in their passage from Boston towards Harwich, they were set upon and taken by French pirates, and were robbed and stripped, both of their apparel and all their other goods and provision in the said ship, and so were violently carried away but it happened that a ship of Dunkirk met with them, and chased away the French ship, and did carry the said ship in which this deponent with the residue of the said passengers then were, towards Dunkirk but yet by the said Dunkirker's direction this deponent and the residue of the said passengers were set on shore upon the French coast, by means whereof, the said passengers could not be landed at Harwich according to the condition of the said obligation."
