On 21 May 1618 appeared before the notary public and the witnesses named below Richard Tyrrel, merchant living in Southampton in England, aged about forty. At the request of Jonathan Brewster, ribbon merchant in Leiden, he declared upon his honour, conscience and salvation, in place of an oath, that about six months earlier he heard Thomas Bordges, a merchant living in England, say and acknowledge that he had already sold the goods received from Jonathan for the same price at which Jonathan had sent them to him, and that he had sold them for cash.

Tyrrel explained that this occurred in England in his presence while he was with Thomas Bordges and talking with him. He offered to confirm his statement by solemn oath if necessary. The act was passed in the notary's office in the presence of Maarten van Velden, apothecary, and Pieter Pietersz van Velsen, clerk, as witnesses.

Craen, notary public, admitted by the Court of Holland upon the nomination of the city of Leiden, and before the witnesses named hereafter, Richard Teyrill, merchant, residing at Southampton in the Kingdom of Great Britain, aged about 41 years.

He has, at the request and instance of Niclaes Claverly, tobacco pipe maker, residing within the city of Leiden, upon his conscience and the salvation of his soul, in lieu of oath, testified and declared to be true that Jan Teyrill, the deponent's brother, was murdered and slain on the tenth of June sixteen hundred fourteen, in the countryside about a mile and a half English from Southampton; and that he, the deponent, has done all possible diligence and effort to come to know who might have been the perpetrator thereof, but has, from firm and undoubted signs and evidence, been assured and found that the requester bears no guilt therein whatsoever, however slight, and that he is accordingly entirely innocent thereof.

Declaring nothing further, the deponent offers, should it be necessary and should he be required to do so in case of recollement, to confirm the foregoing more fully under solemn oath before any judges, of which the requester requested one or more instruments.

Thus done within the city of Leiden, at the house of me, the notary, in the presence of Digory Pryst, hatter, and Jan Wallis, retired shoemaker, as credible witnesses required hereto together with me, the notary.

By me, Richard Tyrill. Mark set by the hand of Digory Pryst. Mark set by the hand of Jan Wallis aforesaid. E.H. Craen, notary public, subscribed, 1619.

Today, the 21st of May in the year sixteen hundred and nineteen, there appeared before me, Ewout Henricxz. Craen, notary public, admitted by the Court of Holland upon the nomination of the city of Leiden, and before the witnesses named hereafter, Robert Crouts, tobacco pipe maker, living within the city of Leiden, about 40 years of age.

And at the request and instance of Niclaes Claverly, likewise a tobacco pipe maker, living within the aforesaid city, he has, upon his conscience and the salvation of his soul, in place of an oath, testified and declared to be true that about three and a half years ago — though without having retained the precise time, nor wishing to be held to it — he, the deponent, together with and alongside one Bartholomees Smit, also a tobacco pipe maker living in Leiden, was at Haarlem with the person of Richart Teiril, an English merchant; which Richard then related to him, the deponent, and the aforesaid Smit, that his, Richard's, brother had some time before been murdered in England, although the said brother had at that time no more than half an English crown, amounting to twenty-five stivers in Dutch money, upon him.

And among other things the aforesaid Richard, having said that he would like to speak with the requester once, to see whether the requester might be able to give him some information regarding the person who might be guilty of the aforesaid deed, he, the deponent — who had never before heard of the said murder — notified the requester by letter that he should come to Haarlem in order to speak once with the aforesaid Richard concerning this matter, adding that, if the requester were guilty of the said murder, he might then keep out of the way.

But the requester, having received the said letter, came to Haarlem in great haste the next day in order to speak with the said merchant, but found that the said merchant had travelled to Amsterdam on his affairs, so that the requester could not then speak with him.

The deponent further declared that when the aforesaid Teirill came to Leiden about a fortnight later, to the house of him the deponent, he, the deponent, brought him to the requester, and the aforesaid Teirill, having spoken with and examined the requester at length, afterwards said that he found that the requester had no guilt in the said murder.

Declaring nothing further, the deponent offering, should it be necessary and if requested by way of recolement, to confirm the foregoing more fully under solemn oath before any judges, of which the requester requested one or more instruments.

Thus done within the city of Leiden, at the house of me the notary, in the presence of Digory Pryst, hatter, and Pieter Joostensz. Warmont, clerk, as trustworthy witnesses required hereto together with me, the notary.

Mark set by the hand of the aforesaid Digory Pryst. Robart Crouch. P. Warmont. 1619. E.H. Craen, notary public, subscribed, 1619.
