ASPINWALL NOTAEIAL EECORDS.
THIS volume contains the notarial records of William Aspinwall, Recorder of the Suffolk County Court from November 13, 1644, until October Jf, 1651.
He was the second to hold the office, the first being Stephen Winthrop, the fourth son of Gov. John Winthrop, who was Recorder from September 9, 1639 (being appointed by order of the General Court), until the choice of William Aspinwall, November 13, 1644, at a General Court of Election.
The following account of William Aspinwall was compiled by the late John T. Hassam, and forms part of the introduction to Liber X. of Suffolk Deeds, and by whose kind permission it is here republished.
It should be borne in mind that, according to the Julian calendar, which was in use at the time, the legal year began on the 25th of March, so that the date of the first entry in the records is November 20, 1644.
WILLIAM ASPINWALL. 1644-1651.
William Aspinwall ^probably came in the fleet with Governor Winthrop. He was of Charlestown1 in 1630, and of Boston after 1633. His name is the tenth in the list of original members of the First Church in Boston2 the covenant being dated Charlestown,

August 27, 1630. His wife Elizabeth was the six- teenth in that list. He was the second in the list of thirteen who remained inhabitants in Charlestown in 1630. September 28, 1630, he was one of the jury impanelled to inquire concerning the death at " Mr Cradocks plantacon " of Austin Bratcher.1 He took the oath of freeman 2 April 3, 1632.
He was one of the Selectmen of Boston 3 in 1636 and 1637, and was chosen deputy to the General Court 4 in 1637 in place of Sir Henry "Vane ; but as he was a supporter of Wheelwright in the " Antino- mian Controversy," 5 and had signed a remonstrance in his favor, the Court deposed him from member- ship by the following order,6 passed November 2, 1637:-
" Mr William Aspinwall being questioned in regard his hand was to a petition or remonstrance, & he iustified the same, maintaining it to bee lawfull ; the Court did discharge him from being a member thereof."
o
By the following order 7 of the same date he was disfranchised and banished : —
"Mr Willi: Aspinwall being convented for haveing his hand to a petition or remonstrance, being a seditious libell, & iustifiing the same, for woh, & for his insolent & turbulent carriage, hee is disfranchized & banished, puting in sureties for his departure before the end of the first month next ensuing.

errors " by the " opinions & revelations of Mr Wheele- wright & Mrs Hutchinson," he was disarmed by an order l of the General Court of November 20, 1637.
With others of " ye opinionists," thus disarmed, disfranchised, and banished, he joined in the move- ment to found a new colony in Rhode Island, and he was one of those who, on the 7th day of the 1st month, 1638, " solemnly in the presence of Jehovah," incorporated themselves " into a Bodie Politick " signing the compact at Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He was the first Secretary of the infant Colony.
But.his life in Rhode Island was not destined to be a peaceful one, as the following order,3 passed 7th 12mo 1638-9, shows': -
"Mr. Aspinwall being a suspected person for sedition against the State, it was thought meet that a stay of the building of his Bote should be made ; whereupon ye work- man was forbidden to proceed any further."
And on the 28th 2mo 1639, his shallop was attached for debt.4
He was in Connecticut in 1642, and was a witness in the case of George Spencer5 at a General Court held at New Haven, March 2, 1641-2.
At a General Court held at Boston, October 7, 1641, the following order6 was passed: —
"Willi: Aspinwall hath a safe conduct granted him to come & satisfy the counsell, &, if they thinke nieete, to stay till the Generall Court ; if not, hee is to depart till the Generall Court, & then hee hath liberty to come to the Genrall Court."

iv INTRODUCTION.
At a General Court held at Boston May 20, 1642, the following order l was passed : —
" William Aspinwall, upon his petition & cirtifficat of his good carriage, is restored againe to his former liberty & freedome."
Governor Winthrop,2 under date of March 27, 1642, gives this account of it: —
"Mr. William Aspen wall, who had been banished, as is before declared, for joining with Mr. Wheelwright, being licensed by the general court to come and tender his sub- mission, &c was this day reconciled to the church of Boston. He made a very free and full acknowledgment of his errour and seducement, and that with much detestation of his sin. The like he did after, before the magistrates, who were appointed by the court to take his submission, and upon their certificate thereof at the next general court, his sentence of banishment was released."
Having made his peace with the Massachusetts authorities, his advancement was rapid. At a General Court of Election held in Boston, September 7, 1643, —
" Mr Willi: Aspinwall is appointed clarke of the writts for Boston." 3
At a General Court of Election held in Boston, November 13, 1644,-
" Mr. Aspinwall is chosen Recorder till ye next Cort of Election ; " *
and on the same day —
"It is ordered, yl Mr Willi: Aspinwall shalbe a publique notary for this nirisdiction." 5

He joined the Artillery Company 1 in 1643.
The merchants of Boston, attempting to secure a monopoly of the Indian trade, procured a charter from the General Court.2 This was granted March 7, 1643-4, in answer to the petition of William Aspin- wall and six others. Governor Winthrop's account is as follows : —
" Divers of the merchants of Boston being desirous to dis- cover the great lake, supposing it to lie in the north west part of our patent, and finding that the great trade of beaver which came to all the eastern and southern parts, came from thence, petitioned the court to be a company for that design, and to have the trade which they should discover, to them- selves for twenty-one years. The court was very unwilling to grant any monopoly, but perceiving that without it they would not proceed, granted their desire ; whereupon, having also commission granted them under the public seal, and let- ters from the governour to the Dutch and Swedish gover- nours, they sent out a pinnace well manned and furnished with provisions and trading stuff, which was to sail up Delaware river so high as they could go, and then some of the com- pany, under the conduct of Mr. William Aspenwall, a good artist, and one who had been in those parts, to pass by small skiffs or canoes up the river so far as they could."3
But Aspinwall and his party were not allowed to penetrate to the beaver country, the Swedes firing upon them and the Dutch higher up the river refusing to allow them to pass.4
But more troubles were in store for him, for at the second session of the General Court held at Boston October 14, 1651, the following order5 was passed: —
"In answer to the peticon of John Butten, Benja Ward, Thomas Matson, Willjam Ludkin, and others of a jury appointed to serve in the last County Court held at Boston,

in an accon betweene Mr Wra Aspinwall and John Witherden, the Courte doth order that Mr Aspinwall be convented before the whole Courte on the morrow, being 23 8m, 1651, to give answer to such things as are chardged vppon him in this and Witherdens peticon. The partjes appeared at the time appointed, and after the Court had fully heard the cawse, and what both partjes could say, the Court proceeded to judgm111. Itt is ordered, that henceforth Mr Wm Aspinwall shall be suspended from excercising the office of recorder or clarke. in any County Courte, for chardging the Courte and jury to goe against la we and conscience, making the landlord to pay rent to the tennant, and shall pay the some of thirty shillings for the jurjes attendance and entring the peticon, wth fower shillings for two wittnesses attendance.
" Itt is ordered, that Mr Edward Rawson, present secretary to the Generall Courte, shall henceforth be recorder for the county of Suffolke, and that Mr Aspinwall deliuer him all the records belonging to the sajd county.
" Itt is ordered, that Jonathan Negus, at the request of the tonne of Boston, shall henceforth be clarke of the writts for the toune of Boston, in Mr Aspin walls roome, who is to give him the records of deaths, births, and marrjages, in his hands, yl belongs to that office."
At the second session of the General Court1 held at Boston October 26, 1652,
" Mr Nathaniell Souther is appointed publicke notary for this jurisdiccon, in the roome of Mr Wm Aspinwall, and tooke the oath suiteable to the place in open Courte."
He addressed the following letter, dated 24: 5mo 1652, to the General Court : 2 —
" May it please yow to consider, that manifould haue beene the afflictions I haue suffered since I came into this Country, & it adds vnto them the late order you made that I should deliver vp my bookes vnto the secretary, but most of all afflictiue is, that my late troubles haue sprung from brethren. As for others they doe but theire kind. I justify not my selfe, but condemne my folly. Yow know it, that Nemo

[L] And though it be my portion to suffer the more, for that I haue beene yor officer (most vn worthy I confesse) yet if ever occasion should be ; be pleased to be tender of yor officers especially of their names & creditt & suffer them not to be objects of publick scorne & reproach. If they be godly or ingenuous air admonition or checke may suffice to redresse any thing weakly & foolishly done, but if they grow corrupt through bribes or otherwise vnfaithfull to theire- trust, justice will require it to make them exemplary, ffor my selfe I haue little to say (being conscious of many weake & feeble pas- sadges) only this, I haue desired to be faithfull, & my aime hath beene the Honor of God & his vice-gerents, the publick good of the .Country, & private of pticular psons. In refer- ence to yor late order giue me leave I beseech yow wthout offence to giue yow an Account why I haue not delivered the bookes vnto the Secretary, but rather voluntarily chosen to leave them wth Mr Cotton.
" 1. They are no publick Records, as I take it, nor can be ; but privat Records of my owne Acts, of wch I could not otherwise be able at any time to giue Account, nor be able to discerne any corruption or adulteration that possibly might be foisted in after the writeings passe my hand, f[or] wch ends I thought it necessary to keepe such a Register. And I wanted not the advice of him herein, whom yow all will owne as a Nursing father to this Colonie whilst he lived.
" 2ndly Vnles it were the practise of other Nations so to doe, wch I believe it is not, according to that intelligence I haue had, it will reflect some imputation or suspition of vnfaithfulnes vppon me to take them away by an order ; & that will weaken the Credit of the bookes themselves or any thing to be taken out of them, ffor such as is the Credit of the pson, such wilbe the creditt of his acts & bookes, & that is the Reason why the State & Goverment doe putt credit vppon the pson, by designeing him to such a Cofnon service, & therefore as they are carefull to choose such psons for that purpose as are qualifyed, & have variety of tongues (at least the Latin tongue) so specially they doe take care (or should) that they be faithfull, in whose truth men may confide.
"3ly It would be prejudiciall both to my selfe, & all therein concerned to take them away, ffor no man can safely & effectually attest any thing out of my privat write- ings but my selfe, nor shall I be able to attest any thing when my bookes are taken away.
"4ly. Very many things therein, for brevity sake, are

registred in such a method, wch none but my selfe or by instructions from me can make vse of; they being intended for my privat vse, & my owne voluntar}r act w'hout instruc- tions or injunctions from the Generall Court.
" 5ly The most of the things therein conteined relate to England whither I am going, & hope may be of more use there, both to the Country & any pticular therein concerned ; intending the Lord pinitting to make my residence in or about London; where any may haue easie Recourse for my attest.
" 6lv The bookes are mine owne, bought at my owne chardge, & the Register therein my owne voluntary & handy worke, and as proply mine as any thing I possesse is mine. These things considered I did resolve (before yor order) & not wthout advice of some that knew the practise & custorne of other places to take my bookes wth mee, concluding this wth my selfe, that as I haue beene & am, so through the help of Christ I shall remaine cordially affected & tenderly carefull of the good & welfare of his Israel as any opportunity of Providence shall present. But lest I should be grievous or offensiue to yow whom I loue and honour, I haue determined to leave them in the hands of Mr Cotton, vppon promise of the Speciall Court, & confidence of yor approbation, that there they shall remaine vntill yow may vnderstand from Mr Winslow what is vsuali to be done in such cases of death or removal of Notary into another Country. By this Accofnodation yor ends are attained, that any who haue occasion may haue copies of any writeing by Mr Rawson, if he please hither to repaire, or if yow judge it vseful and necessary, yow may ap- point them to be transscribed & returne me mine if advise so guide.

By his wife Elizabeth he had six children born in Boston, as appears by the Boston Records. He was the author of the following works : —

EECOEDS EELATING TO THE EAELT HISTOKY OF BOSTON
(Formerly called Record Commissioners'1 Reports)
This volume, which is the thirty-second in the series of Bos- ton Records, contains the notarial records of William Aspinwall from 1644 to 1651 inclusive. The work was commenced by William H. Whitmore, Esq., late Registrar of Boston, and com- pleted with the valuable assistance of Mr. Walter K. Watkins, the well-known genealogist.
EDWARD W. McGLENEN,
City Registrar. OLD COURT HOUSE, BOSTON.
LlBBARY OF THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM,
BOSTON, February, 3, 1903.
MY DEAR MR. McGLENEN I
On November 13, 1854, the Trustees of the Athenaeum passed a vote of thanks to E. Price Greenleaf, Esq., for his gift to the Library of twenty-nine valuable historical manuscripts. No list of these can be found, but the collection probably included the Aspinwall Notarial Book, which was given by him, as shown by the book-plate, the notarial records of Samuel Tyley (April 2, 1731, to February 28, 1743-4), of Ezekiel Goldthwait (Decem- ber 2, 1748, to March 11, 1754), and of Goldthwait's cousin Ezekiel Price (June 1, 1754, to April 25, 1775, and irregularly to August 22, 1780). They were inherited by Mr. Greenleaf from his grandfather, Hon. Ezekiel Price.1
Price was a patriotic public man, a shipping and insurance broker, and notary, whose office afforded a meeting place for the prominent men of Boston for half a century. Public and private records, brought together in those unsettled times, would there find a convenient resting place either for tem- porary use or for permanent preservation ; in days past officials upon their retirement not infrequently carried their manuscript records with them.2 Price acquired many papers while notary public, a justice of the peace, and a selectman of Boston, but especially as confidential secretary to Governors Shirley, Pow- nal, and Bernard, as deputy for the Vice-Admiralty Court, and as Clerk of the Courts of Sessions and of Common Pleas for Suffolk County. From time to time he gave manuscripts to the Massachusetts Historical Society, of which he was a member; he also republished a sermon on his great grandfather, Ezekiel Cheever, the schoolmaster, and in other ways showed an interest in antiquarian matters. At his death, in 1802, his " small library of books " was left by will to be divided equally between his grandsons, Thomas and Ezekiel Price Greenleaf. ( Suffolk Wills,

Lib. C., 331). His manuscripts probably fell to Price Greenleaf upon the fulfilment of this provision of the will.
It is at present impossible to trace the history of the Aspin- wall Notarial Book before it came into Price's hands. Aspinwall himself referred to it in 1650 (Book of Possessions, p. 54) as " my notaries booke." In a letter addressed to the General Court in 1652, Aspinwall said that he intended to leave his records with Mr. Cotton, " vntill yow may vnderstand from Mr Winslow what is vsuall to be done in such cases of death or removal of Notary into another Country." In a postscript he stated his willingness to turn over his records (although "no publick Records, as I take it, nor can be, but privat Records of my owne Acts") to be kept by Mr. Rawson, then Recorder for the County of Suffolk. Aspinwall's Book of Possessions was described as in the Secretary's office in 1670 (Suffolk Deeds, Lib. VII., 156), and in the Recorder's office in 1672 (Boston Record Comm. Reports, II., 161), but no mention is made of this First Notary's Book in. the early Suffolk deeds ; a third volume (see Suffolk Deeds, Lib. VIII., 187) and what appears to be a second volume (ibid., Lib. III., 45a) are there referred to. It would seem, therefore, that this record kept by Aspinwall remained in private keeping, and passed from hand to hand until Pi- ice received it.1
The book itself, by an outside measurement, is I0f inches high, 8£ inches wide, and 2J- inches in thickness. The leather covers have three tooled lines near the edges and a diamond shaped ornament of gilt in the centre. Near the top in black are the letters " The Notaries first book Of Records." On the first page the autograph " Willm Aspinwall " occurs three times, twice followed by " Notr Publ." The paper has a watermark,2 and if the design becomes a subject of study, we may at some future time learn whence came the sheets on which Aspinwall kept his records.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES KXOWLES BOLTON.
Edward Webster McGlenen, Esq.
1 It Tyley obtained it in 1731 from some earlier notary, it may have passed to Goldtn- wait and from him to Price. Price's great uncle, Rev. Samuel Cheever, married Ruth Angler, and William AspinwalPs daughter Hannah married John Angler, but these facts throw no light on the history of the book.
'The watermark, which is armorial, may be thus described: On a shield sur- mounted by a crown, quarterly 1st and 4th, three antique crowns, 2 and 1; 2d and 3d, a lion rampant; and over all an escutcheon charged with what appears to be a quiver.

goods, there was not a spare man to doe anything to her rigging till she was neere laden, so that the ground of the shipps not being laden in time limited was no fault of the said willoughbyes but for want .of men according to Charter party : And whereas the said Bourne in his answer said, that the shipp set sail the next day after the Protest, the said willoughby, doth acknowledge the same : but the said wil- loughby saith the said Bourne did it on purpose thinking to save himselfe cleare : when that he had not all his Pvision on board of beere and bread and fish till the sixth of Septem- ber, and when it was done he lay till the nienth before he set saile, his Owners goeing downe either to feast or reckon and make over their Accounts on the eighth day. And whereas he saith, shipps use to have fourty eight houres to wood and water, the said willoughby saith, the shipp was laden com- pleatly before the said willoughby protested : And whereas he saith, the Bills of lading were not Psented till the Dayes were out, the said Willoughby could not take the bills till the shipp was laden, and the shipp was not laden till the dayes were out, but the ground was not in the said willoughby as the reasons above make it evident.

Brother the cause of my writeing to you is this, I heard not from you a greate while until mr Richard Wright brought me newes that you were well, but he could tell me nothing concerning my children wch is a great griefe unto mee. The parting from them was a great griefe unto mee wch brought me nee re unto death but the Lord in mercy raised me up againe, blessed be the Lord for his mercie unto mee, But since mr Wright came over & can tell me no newes from them, wch is a great griefe unto mee, & I am afraid that they are not well because it pleased God to take away my Brother out of this world before they were able to helpe themselves. wch makes mee the more fearefull that that they be not so looked unto as if it had pleased Almighty God that hee had lived, for then he would have beene a father to them by his pmise unto mee. Yet if they be wth any of his friends I hope they will use them well for his sake. Brother my love remembered unto Mrs Alcock & her children hoping in God that they are in good health the Lord revive his mercie unto them. And brother my earnest desire is that you would be pleased to doe so much for mee as to send mee a tre from you of them, & who they be wtb, & what trade they be, I should be very glad to see you or them if it might please God that it might be soe; if not, I must be content as well as God will give mee leave.

The Companie of the Seaman belonging to the Shipp Planter of London, being therein the harbour at Boston aforesaid, brought an action as well against Robert Risbie Master of the sd Ship, & Thomas Gainer Merch* of the same, as against the shipp itselfe, for wages due to them for theire service done in the sd shipp, for divers months then past: wch being matter of Account the Court appointed Auditors, viz4, Mr Duncan Auditor Generall, Mr Allen & Mr Addington to examine the Ships accounts &c., & to cer- tifie the Court.
The returne accordingly was made as followeth, viz4, that there was due to the sd Master Robert Risbie one hundred & eight pounds; To Mr Robert ffen one of his mates ninety one pounds: To Joshua Maid another of his mates fourty two pounds eight shillings: To Richard Holt Boatswaine fourty six pounds eight shillings: To John Carman Gunner fifty two pounds seven shillings: To Leonard Sergeant Chirurgeon fifty foure pounds & to the rest of the seamen according to theire severall pportions, amounting in all to seven hundred & eight pounds seven shillings & a penny. Wch being given in evidence to the Jury, they found for the plaintiffs theire severall & respective wages, & costs of Court, & Judgment was eritred accordingly, & Execution granted against the said Risbie & Gainer & the said

Shipp Planter. But because the said Risbie & Gainer had no visible estate in this jurisdiction wch might answer the Judgment, the Execution was laid uppon the said Shipp, wch by apprizallof three able & indifferent men, chosen ac- cording to lawe, was valued at seven hundred & thirty six pounds fourteene shillings, & at that rate shee was publikly off red to sale by the space of fourteene days or thereabouts

Major Sedgwick's Answer. — In answr to a protest made by Mr Clarke for non performance of a bill of Exchange wch was for 200 Kint fish charged p Mr Robt Houghton uppon mee, I answer thus. When I came to the He of Shoales about the 12th of June 1649 I tould Mr Clarke I would sat- isfy & pay the 200 Kint of fish according to the contents thereof.

And whereas the sd John Jarvis alledgeth, that he was (in the M°. of Aug. 1650tie.) constrained to psecute a suit against the aforesd Isaac Addington at the Court then held at Boston in N: Engl. for the recovering of what (he saith) is most jusly due unto him, either for the imploy- ments & improvements of his J pt of the ship aforesd, as also what soevr els due unto him uppon any other Acc°. or Ac- counts, wch by no other way or means he could have, nor can yet attaine, as he affirmeth.

This protest was by me the Notary aforesd reade & pub- lished the day afores* unto Edw. Bendall Attr. for mr Isaac Addington, in the prsence of mr Edward Hutchinson & Mr Wm ffoster.
1. And the sd Edw.

Court to Court as the Records of the Court will declare, the Action being but entred in July & through his owne default not issued, when Mr Addington attended uppon the issue thereof. And this Court hath fully heard the Cause, & on the seventeenth of this instant are to give in theire Judgm* in the Case. It is also untrue that he saith he desired to ob- taine a true Account & could not : for Mr Addington & Edw. Bendall his Atturney
[Page 318.]
tendred to Mr Jarvis to refer the Accounts to able men, both before the Court & since, as the Atturney affirmeth.
2ly. Secondly to the Substance of Mr Jarvis Allegation, he answreth, that Mr Addington long since in London & now againe in Court hath rendered him a true Acc°. of the Vir- ginia Voyage, wch is all the Account that is due to him. ffor it appeared by Capt John Leveretts testimonie & sundry other circumstances (as that he neither tooke any care for fitting her out to sea, nor ptested against the Malaga Voyage though he knew thereof, & that Mr Jarvis himself confessed in Court, uppon certaine termes to have given order to the mr for sale of the ship) that the sd John Jarvis had sould his former interest, & himself e saith in the begining of his protest, that London was the Port of Mr Addingtons discharge from the ship, & there Mr Addington gave him an Acc°. under his his hand, the very same wch hath now done & proved in Court: These are the answrs wch at present the Atturney gave, leaveing it to Mr Addington uppon knowledge of the same to returne more plenary answers. Thus done & passed in the towne of Boston by mee the Notary aforesaid. Quod virtute offciis mei rogatus attesor & in fra.

Whereas Edward Bendall answereth unto the ptest aforesd as to untruths, & saith in the first place, that John Jarvis knew of the voyage from London to Malago, as also (as he saith) of this last voyage to the Canaries; In answr to wch as touching the first voyage from London to Malago, as also her last voyage, as in the protest expressed, to the Canaries, John Jarvis saith they were both wthout his con- sent or privity thereunto, therefore he speaketh truth in his ptest.
2. Whereas Edward Bendall saith that it is untrue that John Jarvis hath beene put of from Court to Court as the Records of the Court (as he saith) will declare. To wch I answer that sufficient testimony wilbe pduced to the con- trary, as also from records of the Court, to prove what John Jarvis in his ptest hath spoken to be true & what Edward Bendall hath said to be untrue.
3. Whereas Edward Bendall answereth that John Jarvis desired to obtaine a true Account from Isaac
[Page 327.]
Addington & could not (as John Jarvis yet affirmeth) whereas the sd Edw: Bendall saith that Isaac Addington long since in London & now here in Court hath rendred him
364 ASPINWALL NOTARIAL RECORDS.
a true Acc°. of the Virginia voyage, wch is untrue, for the Accounts prsented in London as also here are not true nor just as will evidently be made so to appeare.
4. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith that the Acc°. of the Virginia voyage was all the Accounts that were due unto John Jarvis, the wch is false & untrue, for John Jarvis ought to have had an Acc°. of his third of the ship in case sbee were any wayes sould, as the pties uppon groundles testi- monies & circumstances doe alledge.
5. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith, that John Jarvis tooke no care for fitting of her out to sea, it will appeare that Isaac Addington tooke up an hundd pounds for his use at Bottom- ary, for the wch money John Jarvis hath underwritten as taken up by Isaac Addington for the use of his third pt of the Unicorne.
6. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith that by vertue of an order given the Mr for sale of the shipp, that John Jarvis had sould his interest in her, it is false & untrue, ffor John Jarvis never assented to any such sale as they say they had made of her.
7. Whereas Ed: Bendall saith that John Jarvis saith in the begining of his ptest that London was the Port of Mr Addingtons discharge from the shipp, it is also false & untrue, for the sd John Jarvis there declareth that London was the port of his discharge, that is, of the voyage from Virginia, & there he was to give a true & just account, unto his owners, wch he hath not done, as it will evidently be made so to appeare.
8. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith that at London Mr Addington gave John Jarvis an Account under his hand, the very same wch he hath now done, & proved in Court as he saith, Although the Accounts given by him in London wch proved here to be his, w°h Accounts are not true & just : all wch will evidently be made to appeare.
Edw. Bendalls Answer followeth.
1. To the article he saith, Mr Addingtons designe for Malago was publickly spoken of uppon the Exchange & therefore unlike Mr Jarvis should be ignorant." Besides Mr Jarvis in his 5th Article saith he underwritt for Bottomary for his pt of the shipp, & therefore could not be ignorant: But he doubts of the truth of such underwriteing vnles padventure he writ that he never meant to pay. And for the voyage to Canaries it was publickly knowne throughout the towne & therefore Mr Jarvis could not be ignorant as he pretends.
ASPINWALL NOTARIAL RECORDS. 365
2. To the 2d. he saith, that the Records will evince that Mr Addington & Capt Leveret were not the cause of his putting of from Court to Court (as the ptest imports) but Mr Jarvis him selfe was the cause.
3. To the 3d he saith. that the Acc°. as the Auditors brought jt in, appeared to the Court & Jury to be just. (5nTy ^heTAtturney wanted his proofes to one pctr about the seamens wages : But since the Court one of those men came in, who can testify his receipt thereof.
4. To the 4th he saith, Mr Jarvis did not sue for his third pd of the shipp or Account of the same as sould by Isaac Addington, but for an Account of the voyages & im-
, ployments of a third pt w011 he denyeth to be sould by any order of his, & therefore the Court & Jury could not find that wch was not comprized in the Action, but if Mr Adding- ton have not Accounted already wth Mr Jarvis for the said third pt he makes no question but he will doe it wth out trouble or suite at lawe.
5. To the 5th he saith, no such thing was p ved in Court (nor that he remembers once pleaded) that Mr Jarvis under- writ for his p* of Bottomary in the malago voyage, nor doth he believe he did.
6. To the 6th he saith that Capt Leverett (then having a pt) uppon oath testified that both himselfe & Mr Jarvis
[Page 328.]
gave order to the Mr to sell her & Mr Jarvis in Court acknowledged that he gave order to sell her though at a higher rate. And since the Court he understands from such as knew the shipp that shee was sould to her full worth or more.
7 To the 7th he needs no Answr. because though Mr Jar- vis seem to deny yet at length confesseth the very words, only wth an explication & glosse that will not agree wth the text.
The Eight being pure non-sense he can give no answer to it.
