month of July last past coming to Pocomoke fferry, the fferry man asked me if I met
m^r ffrancis Jenckins, I told him no, whereat the fferry man wondered, for he had just now
brought him over, I asked him where he was a going, who replyed he thought he was going to
M^r Dorman, and give y^e deponent to witt, that he the said Jenckins had a provinciall
writt with him, because the said Dorman, because the Sd Dorman would not lett him have
