               m.r Painter
                 The Honble the Chancellor hath Commanded to bidd you to putt a
               Stopp to the writt of Erro.r Between Stockett and Peca till Peca or
               his Attorney be heard therein and better Security be Given by
               Stockett I am      Yo.r friend and Serv.t Robt Carvile

                 Peca's objection against Stocketts Security and Writt of Erro.r
               I on the behalf of Peca object that there ought not to issue out
               a writt of Error returnable in the Assembly to Reverse the Judgmt
               of the Provinciall Court in Correcting of Errors in the County Court
               Also the Security taken by his Honor the Chancellor to witt, ffrancis
               Stockett & James Stavely I humbly conceive not Sufficient they
               being psons that have no Visible Estates in this Province that we
               know of Also the Security for ten thousand pounds of Tobacco is
               farr too Little being the Law doth allow trouble Costs and damages
               and therefore it ought to be fifty thousand pounds of Tob.o at the
               Least Lastly this Security was Given ex parte where Peca or his
        (fol. 278) attorney ought to have been present and made these their objections
