ASPINWALL NOTAEIAL RECORDS.

This volume contains the notarial records of William
Aspinwall, Recorder of the Suffolk County Court from
November 13, 1644, until October H, 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.

Governor Winthrop. He was of Charlestown^ in 1630,
and of Boston /?^^ y^ ^ ,^— T^U.

August 27, 1630. His wife Elizabeth was the six-
teenth in that Hst. 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 "M""
Cradocks plantacon " of Austin Bratcher.^ He took
the oath of freeman ^ April 3, 1632.

He was one of the Selectmen of Boston ^ in 1636
and 1637, and was chosen deputy to the General
Court * in 1637 in place of Sir Henry Yane ; but as
he was a supporter of Wheelwright in the " Antino-
mian Controversy," ^ and had signed a remonstrance
in his favor, the Court deposed him from member-
ship by the following order,^ passed JN'ovember 2,
1637: —

" M"" William Aspinwall being questioned in regard his
hand was to a petition or remonstrance, & he iustified the
same, maintaining it to bee lawful] ; the Court did discharge
him from being a member thereof."

By the following order "^ of the same date he was
disfranchised and banished : —

"M"" Willi: Aspinwall being convented for haveing his
hand to a petition or remonstrance, being a seditious libell,
& iustifiing the same, for w"'', & 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 M' Wheele-
wright & M""^ Hutchinson," he was disarmed by an
order ^ of the General Court of ISTovember 20, 1637.

With others of "y^ 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 ,^ passed 7'^ 12°"°
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 y® work-
man was forbidden to proceed any further."

And on the 28^^ 2"^° 1639, his shallop was attached
for debt.*

He was in Connecticut in 1642, and was a witness
in the case of George Spencer '" at a General Court
held at New Haven, March 2, 1641-2.

At a General Court held at Boston, October 7,
1641, the following order ® was passed : —

"Willi: Aspinwall hath a safe conduct granted him to
come & satisfy the counsell, &, if they thinke meete, to stay
till the Generall Court ; if not, hee is to depart till the
Generall Court, & then hee hath liberty to come to the
Gen'-all Court."

iv Introduction.

At a General Court held at Boston May 20, 1642,
the following order ^ was passed : —

" William Aspinwall, upon his petition & cirtifficat of his
good carriage, is restored againe to his former liberty &
freedome."

Governor Winthrop,^ 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, —

"M'' Willi: Aspinwall is appointed clarke of the writtsfor
Boston." 3

At a General Court of Election held in Boston,
November 13, 1644, —

" M''. Aspinwall is chosen Recorder till y® next Co'^t of
Election ; " *

and on the same day —

"It is ordered, y* M"" Willi: Aspinwall shalbe a publique
notary for this iurisdiction." ^

He joined the Artillery Company ^ in 1643.

The merchants of Boston, attempting to secure a
monopoly of the Indian trade, procured a charter from
the General Court.^ 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." ^

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.*

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 order ^ 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 lust County Court held at Boston,

the whole Courte on the morrow, being 23 8£, 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 judgm"*.
Itt is ordered, that henceforth M*" W™ 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, w"' fower
shillings for two wittnesses attendance.

" Itt is ordered, that M"" Edward Rawson, present secretary
to the Generall Courte, shall henceforth be recorder for the

He addressed the following letter, dated 24: 5
1652, to the General Court : ^ —

" May it please yo^ to consider, that manifould haue beene

& it adds vnto them the late order you made that I should

portion to suffer the more, for that I haue beene yo'^ officer
(most vnworthy I confesse) yet if ever occasion should be ;
be pleased to be tender of yo'' officers especially of their
names & creditt & suffer them not to be objects of publick
scorne & reproach. If they be godly or ingenuous an
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 faithfuU, & my aime
hath beene the Hono"^ of God & his vice-gerents, the publick
good of the Country, & private of pticular psons. In refer-
ence to yo"" late order giue me leave I beseech yo"^ w"'out
offence to giue yo^ an Account why I haue not delivered the
bookes vnto the Secretary, but rather voluntarily chosen to
leave them w"' M*^ Cotton.

" 1. They are no publick Records, as I take it, nor can be ;
but privat Records of my owne Acts, of w'^'^ 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] w*^**
ends I thought it necessary to keepe such a Register. And
I wanted not the advice of him herein, whom yo'"" all will
owne as a Nursing father to this Colonie whilst he lived.

" 2"**'^ Vnles it were the practise of other Nations so to
doe, w*** 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 Comon 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.

"3'y It would be prejudicial! 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.

KECOEDS RELATING TO THE EARLY HISTORY
OF BOSTON

{Formerly called Becord Commissioners^ 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. WatMns,
the well-known genealogist.

EDWARD W. McGLENEN,

City Begistrar,
Old Coubt House, Boston.

Library of the Boston Athen^um,

Boston, February, 3, 1903.

My dear Me. McGlenen :

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. ^

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.^ 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,

4 ASPINWALL NOTABIAL RECORDS.

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 yo^ may vnderstand from M"" 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. A spin wall'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 Pxice received it.^

The book itself, by an outside measurement, is lOf inches
high, S^ 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,^ 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 Knowles Bolton.

1 If Tyley obtained it in 1731 from some earlier notary, it may have passed to Goldth-
wait and from him to Price. Price's great uncle, Rev. Samuel Cheever, married Ruth
Angler, and William Aspinwall's daughter Hannah married John Angler, but these

8. (10) 1645 M' Willoughbyes answer to M' Bourne
as followeth. Whereas Francis Willoughby made a ptest
against John Bourne & the Owners of the shipp Indevo'
for not being ready to set sayle by dayes limited & whereas
the said John Bourne made a protest against the said Francis
Willoughby he not being ready, The said Willoughby as the
grounds of his protest & in answer to the said Bournes pro-
test saith as followeth That whereas the ship Indeavo'
ought to have beene ready to take in goods by Charter party
twelve dayes after her arrivall here, w*''^ should have beene
on the day of July, the said shipp was not Delivered of
those goods she brought from England in that time : & when
the said Willoughby uppon the same day sent goods aboard
as by Charter party he was bound, the goods would not be
taken in but were sent on shoare againe, to the damadge of
M' John Taylo"" the merch*, there being neither M'' nor M"
mate nor any officer to cause them to be taken in, & at that
time there not belonging to the said shipp sixe men ; & when
& afterwards there was goods brought aboard, they were faine
to lye at the shipp syde for want of men to take them in, &
when taken in, they were faine to lye for men to stowe them,
there not belonging to the shipp above ten or fourteene men
at most: sometime the master professing to me he had not fy ve
men; so that besides the length of time in stovveing the

AsPiNWALL Notarial Records. 13

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. This is the true answer
which the said willoughby Psented to me in writeing with
his owne hand the day and yeare above written. /

my children are at this present time now praised be the Lord
for it. Brother the cause of my writeing to yo" is this, I
heard not from yo*^ a greate while until m'^ Richard Wright
brought me newes that yo" were well, but he could tell me
nothing concerning my children w°^ is a great griefe unto
mee. The parting from them was a great griefe unto mee
^ch 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 m'^ Wright came over & can tell me no
newes from them, w*''^ 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, w^*^ 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 w*^
any of his friends I hope they will use them well for his
sake. Brother my love remembered unto M'"^ 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 yo'^ would be pleased to doe so much for mee as to send
mee a tre from yo'^ of them, & who they be w***, & what
trade they be, I should be very glad to see yo'^ 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 Lord in

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 s*^ Ship, & Thomas Gainer Merch* of the
same, as against the shipp itselfe, for wages due to them for
theire service done in the s^ shipp, for divers months then
past: w*'^ being matter of Account the Court appointed
Auditors, viz*, M"" Duncan Auditor Generall, M"" Allen &
M"^ Addington to examine the Ships accounts &c., & to cer-
tifie the Court.

The returne accordingly was made as foUoweth, viz*, that
there was due to the s*^ Master Robert Risbie one hundred &;
eight pounds; To M'^ 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

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.
W*^^ being given in evidence to the Jury, they found for the
plaintiffs theire severall & respective wages, & costs of
Court, & Judgment was entred accordingly, & Execution
granted against the said Risbie & Gainer & the said

no visible estate in this jurisdiction w*^^ might answer the
Judgment, the Execution was laid uppon the said Shipp,
w<^^ by apprizall of 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
offred to sale by the space of fourteene days or thereabouts

But none appearing to by her at that price, a motion was

Major Sedgwick's Answer. — In answ' to a protest made
by M"^ Clarke for non performance of a bill of Exchange w*^^
was for 200 Kint fish charged p M"" Robt Houghton uppon
mee, I answer thus. When I came to the He of Shoales
about the 12*^ of June 1649 I tould M"^ Clarke I would sat-
isfy & pay the 200 Kint of fish according to the contents
thereof. And also knowing that there was fish due to him
from others that I was jointly ingaged for, I tould him, what
ever came of it, the first fish I put on board should bee in
consideration of this bill, w*''* he pmised to accept of in that
consideration. Now I haveing laded fish uppon severall
accounts uppon the shipp M"^ Clark was in, when I came to
account, I first demanded up the s*^ bill of 200 Kint, w'^'* hee
denyed, and would not let me have it, but forced me to dis-

would be pleased to accept of that debt to his owne account

quantity more then what yo"* may have effects of mine to

to accomodate my fiill Complement of twenty thousand, to
each of them I have written to the same effect but reserving

sett saile from Gravesend towards New Engl, uppon the

Secondly that he did not take into his ship all the goods of

he pmised the s*^ Thomas Lun to take in his goods, by reason

fast his Answ' to theire ptest as foUoweth, & the same to No-
tify imto the s* Capt Standast, w*^ reply followeth :

Whereas Capt Stanfast questions o' power in putting in a
Comander, wee doe deny any such power in o'selvs, neither
doe wee desire any such power, but leave that to him selfe.

And whereas he intends not to goe to London directly,
o' intent is not to hinder, neither he nor the shipp, nor both
of them to goe whither he pleaseth, pvided that he payeth us
here o' wages that is due, and cleare us here.

ffurther whereas he demandeth three thousand pound secu-
rity, we find the ship to be alreadie ingaged for o" wages, fur-
ther we have no need to hyre a ship, & therefore deny the
giveing of any security.

And whereas yo" injoyne us to take in such freight as shall
present, pvided that he make the ship fitting to take in
merch** goods,

[Page 273.]

wee shall not deny the takeing of them in, if so be that he
accept of going to London. This Answ' or reply was noti-
fyed to the s^ Capt Bamabie Stanfast the day & yeare above

or thereabouts, w^'* i pt of the s^ ship (the s^ John Jarvis
doth say) he did peaceably & quietly enjoy certaine months
w*^ out any Molestation, Isaac Addington being appointed
m' of the aboves'^ ship in the M° of July J-^-i^ as the s"^ John
Jarvis saith, & was to pforme a voyage fro Boston in N.
Eng: to Virginia, as he saith, & from there to London being
the port of his discharge & to give Account of his trust unto
each owner. And whereas the s*^ Jo: Jarvis alledgeth that
the s"^ M*" hath not rendred unto him a just & true Accoimt,
& did in the month of August in the yeare

[Page 316.]

1647 at London undertake a second designe w*^ the above

aboves^ ship Unicome uppon severall other Designes & made
severall other Voyages w*^ the aboves** ship unto severall
other Ports w^'^out the knowledg consent or privity of the

the s** John Jarvis did in the month of July one thousand
six hundd & fifty at Boston in N. Eng. in a peaceable way
(as he saith) require the aboves*^ Isaac Addington that he
would give him a true & just Account of his J pt of the ship
abovementioned in w*'^ the s*^ John Jarvis claimeth ppriety,
as also of her imployments & improvements thereof from
Port to Port, then three yeares compleat imployed p him the
aboves*^ Isaac Addington as M"", of all w'^^ time of her imploy-
ment, as likewise the improvements as afore expressed (the
s^ John Jarvis saith) he hath not as yet given him a full &
true Account. And whereas the s*^ John Jarvis alledgeth,
that he was (in the M°. of Aug. 1 6 5 o.tie^^ constrained to psecute
a suit against the afores*^ 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 afores*^, as also
what soev"^ els due unto him uppon any other Acc°. or Ac-
counts, w*^^ by no other way or means he could have, nor can
yet attaine, as he affirmeth. Now whereas the s*^ Jo: Jarvis
alledgeth, that Isaac Addington & Capt John Leveret uppo
above & ungrounded p'^tence alledged in the Court held at
Boston afore expressed, and now uppon the same ground &
like p'tence alledgeth that the s^ Jo: Jarvis hath sould his J

no such thing, nor that it can any wayes be made by them
so to appeare. By meanes whereof the said John Jarvis (as

uppon the twelfth day of ^'"'^- ^ ^ ^ o ^[^ protest & (by ex-
presse direction from the s*^ John Jarvis & in his owne words

Addington & Capt John Leveret theires heires Exec. Ad-
ministr. & Assignes & every of them, for all sufferings losses
& damages whatsoever, either by estate or credit, that the s*^
John Jarvis have heretofore heretofore susteined or shall any

is afore expressed from either the one third pt of the shipp
afores*^ her imployment & all improvements pfitts & gaines

from any casualty whatsoever els the afores*^ shipp Unicorne
may come or shall hereafter happen unto her, either by ship-

specially since her late depture from Boston in New England

lj_5j).ty_ £fQp Q^i ^ch uppon due proofe by the s*^ John Jarvis
made, yo** shalbe lyable to make him just & due reparation in

This protest was by me the Notary afores*^ reade & pub-
lished the day afores*^ unto Edw. Bendall AW. for m'' Isaac
Addington, in the p'^sence of m' Edward Hutchinson & M'
W™ ffoster.

1. And the s** Edw, Bendal returned answer thereunto as
foUoweth. ffirst to severall untruths therein contained, he
saith, he to wit M' Jarvis knew of the voyage to Malaga from
London, the s^ John Jarvis being then there : & also the s**
Jarvis knew of this last voyage to the Canaries & therefore
should have spoken truth in his ptest. ffurther the s"^ Atf
answ'eth, that it is untrue that he hath beene put of from

354 AspiNWALL Notarial Records.

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 M" 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-
tame a true Account & could not : for M" Addington & Edw.
Bendall his Atturney

[Page 318.]

tendred to M" Jarvis to refer the Accounts to able men, both
before the Court & since, as the Atturney affirmeth.

2^y. Secondly to the Substance of M' Jarvis Allegation,
he answ'^eth, that M"" Addington long since in London & now
againe iu Court hath rendered him a true Ace", of the Vir-
ginia Voyage, w*=^ 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 M' Jarvis himself confessed
in Court, uppon certaine termes to have given order to the
m' for sale of the ship) that the s"^ John Jarvis had sould his
former interest, & himself e saith in the begining of his protest,
that London was the Port of M"" Addingtons discharge from
tlie ship, & there JVP Addington gave him an Ace**, under his
his hand, the very same w''^ hath now done & proved in
Court: These are the answ"^ w*'*' at present the Atturney
gave, leaveing it to M' 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

Before mee W™ Aspinwall No* & Tab: publ by Authority
of the Gener^ Court of the Massachusetts admitted & swome,
psonally appeared John Jarvis merch*. & presented me this
writing as followeth to declare unto Edw. Bendall Atf to
M"^ Isaac Addington & to receive his answ', w*'*^ accordingly
I did, The contents foUowe.

A reply to the prevaricating answer of Edw.
Bendall unto a ptest against Isaac Addington
& Capt John Leveret.

1. Whereas Edward Bendall answereth unto the ptest
afores** 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 answ'
to w*''^ as touching the first voyage from London to Malago,
as also her last voyage, as iu the protest expressed, to the
Canaries, John Jarvis saith they were both w^^out 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 w*'^ 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 s** 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, w*'^ is untrue, for the
Accounts p'sented 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 Ace**, of the
Virginia voyage was all the Accounts that were due unto
John Jarvis, the w^^ is false & untrue, for John Jarvis ought
to have had an Ace**, of his third of the ship in case shee
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 w''^ 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 M' 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 M'
Addingtons discharge from the shipp, it is also false &
untrue, for the s** 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, w"^ he hath not done, as it will evidently be made
so to appeare.

8. Whereas Edw. Bendall saith that at London M'
Addington gave John Jarvis an Account under his hand,
the very same w''^ he hath now done, & proved in Court as
he saith. Although the Accounts given by him in London
^ch proved here to be his, w"^ Accounts are not true & just :
all w*''^ will evidently be made to appeare.

Edw. Bendalls Answer followeth.

1. To the article he saith, M' Addingtons designe for
Malago was publickly spoken of uppon the Exchange &
therefore unlike M"' Jarvis should be ignorant.
Besides M'' Jarvis in his 5*** 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 pad venture he writ that he never meant to pay.
And for the voyage to Canaries it was publickly knowne
throughout the towne & therefore M' Jarvis could not be
ignorant as he pretends.

AspmwALL Notarial Records. 365

2. To the 2^. he saith, that the Records will evince that
M' Addington & Capt Leveret were not the cause of his
putting of from Court to Court (as the ptest imports) but
M' Jarvis him selfe was the cause.

3. To the 3*^ he saith. that the Ace**, as the Auditors
brought it in, appeared to the Court & Jury to be just.
Only the Atturney wanted his proof es 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 4*^ he saith, M'^ Jarvis did not sue for his
third p** 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 w"*' he denyeth to be sould by any
order of his, & therefore the Court & Jury could not find
that w*=^ was not comprized in the Action, but if M"^ Adding-
ton have not Accounted already w'^ M"^ Jarvis for the said
third pt he makes no question but he will doe it w*^ out
trouble or suite at lawe.

5. To the 5*^ he saith, no such thing was p ved in Court
(nor that he remembers once pleaded) that M'' Jarvis under-
writ for his p* of Bottomary in the malago voyage, nor doth
be believe he did.

6. To the 6^^^ he saith that Capt Leverett (then having a
pt) uppon oath testified that both himselfe & M'' Jarvis

[Page 328.]

gave order to the M'" to sell her & M' 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 V^ he needs no Answ'. because though M' Jar-
vis seem to deny yet at length confesseth the very words,
only w*'* an explication & gloss e that will not agree w*^ the
text.

The Eight being pure non-sense he can give no answer to
it.
