Liber No. 48

that immediately Threaten this Province, and consequentially, in
some Degree, the whole British Interest in America, we think it our
indispensable Duty to our Country, to apply to our most gracious
Sovereign, whose paternal Care has always been extended to the
lowest and most distant of his Subjects, where, when our Grievances
come to be explanied, we shall not fail to find Redress and Protection.
There was annexed to the aforegoing Address the following De-
position, viz.
The Deposition of Samuel Roundell, of Prince-George's County,
Gentleman, who being duly Sworn on the Holy Evangels of Almighty
God, deposeth and saith, That the Wife of one Bevan, who had com-
mitted a Forgery, to the manifest Defraud and Injury of this
Deponent, was apprehended and bound over to June Court, Seven-
teen hundred and fifty-four, in Prince-George's County, and from
thence continued to August Court following: That on the first
Day of that Court, this Deponent asked the Prosecutor M.r Henry
Darnall, Whether the Affair between Bevan's Wife and this De-
ponent would be ended this Court M.r Darnall then asked this De-
ponent, If he had not seen old M.r Sansbury (the Womans Father),
who answered, He had not; M.r Darnall replied, He wondered he
had not, for that he, Sansbury, said he would see the Deponent, and
settle the Affair. M.r Darnall further said to this Deponent, that.
At the Request of M.r Sansbury he had applied to the Governor, and

represented the Case, and that the Governor said By G-d he would
not do any such Thing till the Party injured was satisfied , and at
the same Time M.r Darnall said to this Deponent, If you get your
Money, I suppose you will be satisfied: This Deponent answered,
He should, for that he had rather have his Money than see the
Woman punished. That the next Day old M.r Sansbury, M.r Darnall,
and this Deponent, went into the Clerk's Office in the Court-House,
and there M.r Sansbury gave his Obligation to this Deponent for the
Money for the Goods which she had fraudulently obtained of him,
and M.r Darnall was an Evidence to the same; and this Deponent
further saith, that he did not directly or indirectly apply to the
Governor in Behalf of the Woman. And further saith not.
