That the Deceased Desired Informant would Procure him a
face Passage And the Liberty he was Entitled to by his
Country And told Informant he would make him Restitution
for any Loss he might SustainThat then Informant
Desired of the People to Let him goThat soon after that
Two Boys Chimney Sweepers came and took hold of his Two
Legs and Drew him further into the Street And then
a Drayman came and Damned him and Whipped him
very severelyThat he gave him a vast number of
Strokes so that Informant thinks he could bear it no
