William Dakins of London gentleman aged sixty-two yeares
or thereabouts a wittnesse sworne and

To the first second third 4th 5th 6th 7th and 8th articles of the sayd
allegation and the schedule or Accompt in writeing in the sayd 7th and
8th articles mentioned hee saith and deposeth that after the death of the
allegate William Blackler, Administration of all the
goods chattells and debts of the sayd William was graunted and committed
by the Judges of the Court for probate of wills and graunting Administra=
tions unto John Blackler (in the sixth article mentioned) the brother of the sayd
William this hee deposeth for that hee hath seene and had in his possession
the sayd Administration under the seale of the sayd Court And saith that
since the death of the sayd William Blackler hee this deponent was severall
tymes imployed by the wife of the sayd John Blackler the Administrator
aforesayd (who went several tymes her selfe with this deponent to the
same purpose) to aske and demand of the allegate William Watson the
summe of fiftie three pounds sterling and some odd money (the odd money hee remembreth not)
for due to the sayd William Blackler for wages for his service in the
arlate shipp the Alexander the voyage wherein hee the sayd William
dyed and for divers goods and stronge stronge waters and other Com-
modities which hee the sayd William had for his owne Accompte on
board the sayd shipp Alexander at the tyme of his death and were sold and disposed of by the sayd Watson And saith
that after this deponent and the sayd John Blacklers wife had bin severall
tymes with the sayd Watson and had conference with him thereabout, that
the sayd William Watson promise this deponent and the sayd John Blacklers
wife that hee would very speedily pay and give her satisfaction for all
the remaynder of the money due unto her husband John Blackler as

fifteene shillings seaven pence, And saith that some tyme
afterwards videlicet about the latter end of the yeare 1655 or beginning

the sayd William Watson came to this deponents house in parish of Saint
Sepulchers London and brought and tendered unto this deponent the Accompts

five shillings a moneth, and that upon the ballance of the Accompt
aforesayd hee the sayd Watson did owe unto the sayd William Blackler
