Said Jenckins his marke & was put by for him in ye Dormans own  hands in a great heap in the
Store, So they proceeded to linings, wollens Stuffs Silks, Searges Stuffs hatts & haberdasherie
ware &ca.  The Said Jenckins refuseing nothing as they went, neither finding fault with the

with Sixty five Several articles. The said Dorman begins to be in a passion & Said the said
Jenckins picked & Culled his goods: who replyed he would appeal to the Standers by if that could be
when nothing was refused nor disliked, but Dorman Said the goods he would keep: Lett him
prove a bargain if he could.  The Said Jenckins replyed the goods were now his, by Sale and
