To the sayd allegation made the 12th of March 1654 in the acts of Court
hee saith that in the moneth of September last past there laye in the harbour

which was fifty weigh and paid unto one Mr Samuell Williams (who is either one
of the sayd subcommissioners or a Clarke unto them) a hundred pounds in parte
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
