some Money as a Rent Charge upon the Houses Mr..
<

</

Avis procured me £700. from one Miller (A Client of

his.) who was a Prisoner in my Custody to give Evidence
<

</

against Two Persons named Porteus and Wenham for

</

Forgery Miller was to have an Annuity of £70 a Year
<

</

for his own Life and his Mothers to be Charged upon
<

</

the Houses I had the Money about 5 or. 6. Months
<

</
lb

at which time Miller became Dissatisfied with the
<
lb

</
lb

Agreement and I repaid him the Money with Interest
<
lb

</
lb

before he was Discharged out of my Custody I desired
<
lb

</
lb

Mr.. Avis not to tell Miller that the Money was for me
<
lb

</
lb

and I verily believe that Miller did not know that
<
lb

</
lb

the Money was for me till the Day before I received it, I
<
lb

</
lb

had One hundred pounds from a Prisoner named
<
lb

</
lb

Brown about Two Years ago who was sentenced to
<
lb

</
lb

be Imprisoned in the House of Correction for Smuggling
<
lb

</
lb

Brown offered to lend me the Money he said he had
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
a little Money by him and if it would be of any use I
<
lb

</
lb

might have it, I had Browns Money about Three
<
lb

</
lb

Months and it was repaid him by Mr.. Avis during the
<
lb

</
lb

time that I had Browns Money it appeared that he
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
had endeavoured to Assist Miller in making his Escape
<
lb
>
</
lb

out of the Prison for which I locked him up and kept him
<
lb

</
lb

in Close Confinement, I also borrowed £100. of a Man
<

</

named Tomkins who was Convicted under the Lottery Act
