The MARLBOROUgh. THE MARLBOROUGH PRIZE. The Marlborough, of Lafflote en Re, Peter Hovin, Master, was taken by Captain William Bladwell, commander of his Majesty's Snow the Swift, and brought to Dover. The master and others have been examined on interrogatories. She appears to be a French ship, bound from Amsterdam to Bayonne in France; her cargo consists of various kinds of goods, and of some guns and warlike stores. Most of the cargo is claimed, but the guns and some part of the goods, &c., are not. However, it does not appear from the crew, or from any of the ship's papers, that the warlike stores were designed for the enemy. But a witness has been examined on interrogatories, who deposes that Hovin, the Master, told him in London that they were to be carried to St. Sebastian, and that they were Spanish property, and were insured by the Spaniards. The question will be only as to those goods unclaimed, whether they will be subject to condemnation. Witnesses examined upon interrogatories: I. Peter Hovin, examined 18th Sept. 1741. 1. Deponent is a Frenchman by birth, and a subject of the king of France. 2, 3, 4. On 1st September, o.s., about noon, the Marlborough, being under French colours, was seized by Captain William Bladwell, commander of the Swift Snow, and brought to Dover. No resistance was made by the Marlborough. 5. Deponent has been master of the Marlborough four years; was appointed master thereof by his father, Lawrence Hovin, who delivered him the possession of said ship at Lafflote. 6. The crew consisted of five men and a boy besides deponent, all Frenchmen. 7. The Marlborough was built at Bristol, and about thirty years ago was stranded near Lafflote, and was bought by deponent's father, and fitted up, and is of the burthen of about sixty tons; never knew her called by any other name than the Marlborough. 8. In May last, deponent took in at Rochelle, in France, a loading of sugar, linseed, indigo, coffee, and vinegar, which he delivered at Amsterdam the end of June last, and in August following took in there another loading, consisting of 26 iron guns, carrying each a ball of 6 pounds, 20 iron swivel guns, 32 bundles of matches, 400 small casks of gunpowder, each containing about 20 pounds weight, 8 whole barrels of gunpowder, 2,600 iron shot, of 6 pounds each, 1,500 cross bar shot, 10 small cases of merchandise, contents unknown to deponent, 10 hogsheads of brimstone, about 700 or 800 weight each, 10 large casks, 5 packs, and 1 chest of dressed flax, 42 cases, barrels, and bales of several sorts of merchandise, The MARLBOROUGH. 1741. Dec. 8. The MARLBOROUGH. 1741. Dec. 8. but can't set forth the particulars, 53 great and small bales, containing packing canvas and cacao, and several other parcels of goods, all which are contained in his bills. of lading, and other papers now produced, with which loading he was bound, and proceeding on a voyage to Bayonne, in France, when she was taken between Dover and Boulogne, in France, with all said loading on board her. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. The Marlborough at the time she was taken, belonged to Defendant and Peter Daniau of St. Martin's, and no other person whatever. Was delivered to defendant by his father, but he never had any bill of sale made for her. The loading was taken on board on account of several merchants in Holland, as will appear by six bills of lading, now produced, which were all the bills of lading that were signed for his cargo to the best of his knowledge; deponent knows of no bills of lading colourable, or of any other tenor, concerning the goods laden on board his said ship; deponent was bound with his said lading to Bayonne, without being under any charter party, but was to deliver the same there to the order of the merchants who put the same on board, but to whom, by name, deponent knows not. As to the bills of lading, invoices, books, and papers, which were on board his ship at the time of her being seized, they are all now shown to deponent, and he knows of no others, nor has any more in his custody. During the four years deponent has had said ship, he has traded from Lorraine, in France, with bale goods to St. Sebastian, in Spain, and from thence to Brest with oars, and from thence to Plymouth for fish, and finding none there went to Dartmouth, and there loaded with fish in the year 1740, and went with the same to St. Sebastian, and delivered |
