such marchandises and goods shall chaunce to arrive, 

 beeing onely informed of the saide goods and mar- 

 chandises, by sole report, or (other proofes wanting) by 

 probable suspition are bound to arrest and to keep them 

 in safe custodie, favourably to be restored unto the 

 owners therof, whensoever they shall be lawfully de-

And that all and singular the covenants above written,
