maketh oath that on Tuesday
<

</

evening the 8th. instant a dispute arose between some of
<
lb

</
lb

the prisoners respecting their play at Racquets, That the
<
lb

</
lb

deced who was a prisoner came amongst them, & endeavored

lb

</
lb

to sindicate the Racquet Master who was party in the
<
lb

</
lb

dispute, on which words arose between the deced and David

lb

</
lb

Williams who had just left off playing, in the case of which
<
lb

</
lb

the deced called Williams a Damn'd swindling Scoundrel
<
lb

</
lb

and a Raschal & used other opprobrious language towards
<
lb

</
lb

him and held his fist clinched almost close to William's
<
lb

</
lb

face. That Williams uttered expressions towards the deced
<
lb

</
lb

but what they were this Dept does not particularly recollect
<
lb

</

That then a prisr. of the name of Calvert and the deced had

Williams turned round & asked
<
lb

</
lb

the deced why he trod upon his Toes, and at the same time
<
lb

</
lb

he shoved the deced with his Elbow and afterwards struck
<
lb

</
lb
>
him with his fist several blows on his face; all of the blows
<
lb
>
</
lb

were on the deceds face as Dept believes. That the deced did
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
not return the blows, but turned aside, and then the matter
<
lb
>
</
lb

ended. That a short time afterwards Dept was told the deced
<
lb

</
lb

had been taken up stairs very illSays he did not see whether
<
lb

</
lb

the deced trod upon William's Toes or not. Several persons neare
