there were two other Boys in the same Dress in Company-
with Angell whose Names or Persons he does not know, but

Absent from their Master the Day and Hour above mentioned
and found that the said Robert Angell< no role > together with

Roger Owen< no role > ) were the only Boys them out of the Hospital

Pressed confessed that he was in Company with Angell &
Russell in Bridges Street at the above time and Angell

near Bridges Street that Night and insisted that they were
at one Chapmans over the Water. This Committee is
therefore of Opinion that Thomas Stewart< no role > having spoken
the Truth be sent Home to his Master that Francis Russell< no role >
for having persisted in a falshood should receive the
Correction of the House and be then sent Home to his Master

General Court and that he should be then Whipped Stripp'd

is nevertheless submitted to the Judgment of the Court." -
