prosecutors Witness in the above Cause had brought Actions against Francis Elgar< no role >
this Deponents husband and William Elgar< no role > this Deponents Son as well as that
this Indictment was prosecuted on Account of one and the same quarell It
was recommended by the Court as Interest of all the parties concerned to put
a final end to all proceedings as well on Account of this Indictment as the Actions
brought by the said Bond and the said Bond and Gladman were then ask'd by the
Court if they would decline all proceedings at Law on all Accounts whatsoever

so made in Court as aforesaid to put a Slop thereto and this Deponents said

the Eighth day of april last the Same of Eight Guineas notwithstanding [..]
the agreement made by the said Bond and Gladman and the intention of the [..]
Honourable Court as this Deponent humbly Conceives, it being apprehended
by this Deponent who was then present and several others then there
that the said Bond consented upon the said Seven Guineas being said
to Gladman all proceedings at Law should be stayed without any Condition
whatever other than paying the Seven Guineas in manner aforesaid and it appears upon the face of the said Order drawn up thereon
that the intent and meaning of the Court was in manner before set forth because
the prosecutor Gladman had not brought any Action at Law whatever against
this Deponents said husband or Son but had only preferred this Indictment
(as this Deponent is informed and verily beleives)
