That your Petr. is a very Poor man, a maker of
Dolls by profession, has a Wife and family to maintain
and cannot Satisfy and pay the said time without
disposing of his implements in Trade, the doing of which
will be attended with his and their utter Rum, more
Especially that if he should Continue that time in Prison
his Business wontd be intirely Lost.
