That yor Peticoner was about ten dayes agoe comitted to the Prison of Newgate
by Mr. Justice Eaten upon suspicon of coyning counterfeit money at which time
the Constables seized a Trunk of pr. Peticoners but upon searching the same found
noething therein to render yor Peticoner any ways inspected notwithstanding
which they carryed away the said Trunk wherein were papers of Acct: & some
money for want of which yor. Peticoner is destitute of necessary subsistence

Yor. Peticoner therefore most humbly prayes

papers may be restored to him by ordr. of
this Court & that yor Peticoner may be admitted
to Bayle And yor Peticoner as in duty
bound shall pray Etc
