Jenckins discourse it againe, but showed me how he drew a Curtaine to Secure y^e Chinks
that they might not be Seen by Dorman, and that Dorman had pro^fered him eight pound B
to relinquish which these Evidences heard, and that they thrust out their hands at y^e window --
when m^r Dorman went away your Deponent replyed that he never heard of the like trick before
but on further discourse I told m^r Jenckins that he (viz) Dorman would not deny that 12^s& 6^d
was discoursed for I heard him Say So my Self: Sayes m^r Jenckins that is all I care for and
will Sumond you and Evidence your Deponent replyed & Said he would put me to trouble
& doe him Self no good & further Sayeth not.        Ja:  Sangster
