the said Mr. Touling looked at the said Draft and asked this Examinant
whether the said Draft was a good Draft? This Examinant told him
that it was a good one; Mr. Touling said that he hoped it was a good
one upon honour, because his profit upon the things was not more than
half a Guinea, and this Examinant desired the said Mr. Touling to Enquire
if the said Draft was a good one and if it proved a good one, then their
agreement to be binding. Mr Touling went away for that purpose bearing
the things upon the Table in Mr Leo's House, and returned in about Ten

Examinant did ask the said Mr Toulings why he did not immediately object
to the Draft at the time it was tendered to him in payment for the Goods,
