to have seen the said Luckett deliver any Tobacco Notes. This

John Brown, Brazier

Sworn the Day and Year first above written, before R Ghiselin
John Boon Luckett of Prince George's County, being a Person of
full Age, and duly sworn on the holy Evangelists of Almighty God,
this Ninth Day of November 1770, deposeth and saith, that at last
Prince George's County Court, John Addison, Esq Sheriff of that
County, called this Deponent's Father, Samuel Luckett, jun.^r aside,
and told him that he had Orders to execute him for the ffees which he
had refused;and after further Conversation, in which the said Samuel
Luckett still denied and refused to pay the ffees, the said Addison

ordered Michael Lowe, his Deputy, and present, to execute him; on

which the said Lowe pulled off his Hat, and laid his Hand on the
said Samuel Luckett's Breast, but this Deponent being at a Distance,
does not know what the said Lowe said, or whether he said any

Thing. This Deponent afterwards drew near to the said Parties,
and saw the said Samuel Luckett pay thirty Pounds of Tobacco to
the said Lowe, who, after figuring on a Piece of Paper, said to the
said Samuel Luckett, you may as well pay it, there's not above two
hundred and fifty due, or thereaway. The said Samuel Luckett after-
wards said, here's a Crop Note which I give as Security till I settle
the Affair, which Lowe received, and said to the said Addison, there's
a Note M.^r Luckett gives as Security till he settles it, at the same
Time delivering the Crop Note to the said Addison, which M.^r Ad-
dison received, saying its very well. This Deponent further saith,
that very soon afterwards, and as this Deponent thinks, within an
Hour, the said Samuel Luckett went into the Court House, where
the aforesaid Addison then was, and after touching him by the
Sleeve, the said Addison looked round, and again looked from the
said Sam^l Luckett, who held a Tobacco Note open before his Face;
but the said Addison, as if unwilling to look on the same Note, looked
over it towards the Lawyers who were then pleading in Court — This
Deponent further saith, that he heard the said Samuel Luckett ask
the said Lowe why he did not execute his Horse, to which the said
Lowe answered, "No damn you I've got your Body and that's better."

And further this Deponent saith not.
