better treated than the Prisoners usually were if that

the Governor on business in the course of the Day

8, o Clock being the 6th. of December I waited upon the
Governor I told him I understood from Mr. Raven
that he wanted the Loan of £100 he said he did
for that the County had called upon him hastily for
a large sum of Money which he was not prepared
to pay I told him the £100. was at his Service for
a fortnight or a Month as I should not have
occasion for it before that time I accordingly gave
him a Check upon my Banker Biddulph and

Bankers I took no Memorandum but did 3 or 4.

Aris at the Court on that Thursday, Mr.. Aris came
out to speak to me Mr.. Aris said again he could
not pay it, - I made many other Applications
