would be sent in that day none of the Men he employed happened to be at Work at such Houses
and the Carter not knowing where the Petitioner lived or not having any Person to send to him
to advise him that such Deals were come and it not being possible to draw them on the Petitioner
Promises he shot them as near as he could thereto: That immediately after he was informed
where the deals were laying he sent a number of Men who with as much expedition as possible
carried them into his Buildings He therefore did not nor did any of the Men employed by him
leave nor did he suffer the deals to lay longer after such Information than was necessary to have
them carried upon his own Premises. That He caused due Notice according to the directions
