On which said fifteenth day of Octob^r in the yeare aforesaid
came the said parties by their Attorneys aforesaid And the said
James Harrison by his said Attorney saith, that judgm^t ought to be
Arrested, for that the verdict is altogether uncertaine in that the
jury haue found for the plaintiffe twenty two pounds ten shillings
sterl or foure thousand fiue hundred pounds of tobacco, which being
things of different kinde & value, & not appointed by the jury att
whose choice the same shall be, make the verdict wholy uncertaine
And therefore prayeth that judgm^t may be stayed which being read

& heard itt seemeth to the Justices here that the reason aforesaid is
insufficient in Law to Arrest judgement upon the Verdict of the
jurors aforesaid Therefore itt is considered that the said Richard
Johns recover against the said James Harrison as well the Sume of

Liber W. C.

foure thousand five Hundred pounds of tobacco damages by the
jurors aforesaid in forme aforesaid assessed As also seventeen hun-
dred & seventy pounds of tobacco costs of Suite And the Defend^t
