Daughter had been charged with taking, he the said Roundell might
possibly consent, that no further Proceedings thereon might be had ;
and then, under the particular Circumstances of his and his Daughter's
Case, perhaps the Governor might be moved to extend his Mercy to
her. Afterwards this Deponent, being in Company with the aforesaid
Samuel Roundell, informed him the said Roundell, that the aforesaid
Thomas Sansbury, the Father of the aforesaid Ruth, had applied
to this Deponent, in the Manner as is herein before set forth; and
this Deponent well remembers, that the said Samuel Roundell told
this Deponent, That it was a Matter of great Indifference and no
Consequence to him the said Samuel Roundell to make the Woman
suffer, and that all that he the said Roundell desired or wanted, was,
to be paid for his Goods. After this Conversation, or a Conversa-
tion to this Effect, had between the aforesaid Samuel Roundell and
this Deponent, this Deponent not reflecting or even knowing what
Religion the said Ruth was of, or what Religion the aforesaid
Thomas Sansbury, her Father, profess'd, so little does this Deponent
concern himself with the Religious Tenets of others, afterwards had
the Honour to mention the Substance of the above Particulars to his
Excellency the Governor, in mere Compassion for a distressed Fam-

Noli Prosequi in Favour of the said Ruth, but with this express
Injunction, Not to enter the same till M.r Roundell was paid for the
Goods she had been charged with taking.
This Deponent further saith, That afterwards he informed the
said Thomas Sansbury with the Orders he this Deponent had re-
ceived, and told the said Sansbury, that he was not to hope or expect
any Favour for his aforesaid Daughter, unless he the said Sansbury
would satisfy and fully pay the aforesaid Samuel Roundell for the
Goods aforesaid; and this Deponent afterwards seeing the said
M.r Roundell at the County Court, where the said Ruth was to
have been Tried on the Presentment aforesaid, told him the said
Samuel Roundell the Orders he this Deponent had received, as afore-
said, from his Excellency the Governor, and asked him the said

Samuel Roundell if the said Thomas Sansbury had yet paid or satis-
fied him for the Goods aforesaid; and the said Roundell answered
that He had not: Whereupon this Deponent replied, that unless the
said Sansbury did satisfy him for the same, he this Deponent should
proceed that Court to make an End of the Prosecution against the
aforesaid Ruth, and wou'd bring her to her Trial, or Words to that
Effect; but this Deponent further said, if the said Sansbury should
then come and pay him the said Samuel Roundell, that he the said
Roundell wou'd be pleased to inform him this Deponent thereof, that
he this Deponent might, in that Case, put into Execution the Gov-
ernor's Orders of entering the Noli Prosequi aforesaid. And he this
Deponent further saith, that within one or two Hours, or some short
