prior to the last four Months Mr. Horne gave him a few Shillings
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
which were put in the Poors Box. That the reason he kept no Account
<
lb
>
</
lb

was that he never expected to be paid. That he never was fond of the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Job in his life time but did not chose to Affront Mr. Horne he being an
<
lb

</
lb

Old Governor. And Mr. Horne being asked what he had to say to the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Charged brought against him said he never intended to rod the Charity
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
He hoped no Gentleman would think he had the meanness to have
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
any thing from the Hospital without paying for it. That he never
<
lb

</
lb

had more than Six or eight Joinst of Meat from the Hospital and if
<
lb

</
lb

the Steward could not give him an Account of what Provisions were

lb

</

sent him he could and would do it and urged many good Services he
<
lb

</
lb

had done by his many Attendances at the Hospital and that in the
<
lb

</
lb

several Articles of Provisions of Meat, Meal Oat Meal and small Beer as also
<
lb

</
lb

in Candles, he had saved the Hospital many Hundred Pounds and
<
lb

</
lb

that further he had received the thanks of a General Court for his Services; and
<
lb

</
lb

Mr. Rashfield being again called in and asked, whether Mr. Horne
<
lb
>
</
lb

had ever applied to him for an Account of the Provisions sent to his
<
lb

</
lb

House, he Answered, never, and that Mr. Horne never required any
<
lb

</
lb

Account, where upon Mr. Horne withdrew. It is with the

utmost concern that your Memorialists Observe the great Injury
