payment for the sayd second third of salt (as the sayd Mr Williams did acknowledge
to this deponent) and saith that hee this deponent soone after the sale of the

fifty weigh of salt, who told this deponent that the first third part of the sayd
shipps lading of salt was sold to (the allegate) Mr Blake and that hee had not

Gilbert could not have his second third part of the sayd salt before the sayd

second third to this deponent whereupon this deponentw as forced to goe
away and send the sayd boate away without the sayd second third of the
