Richard Cooke to deliver to Mr. Elias Styleman 40,000 feet of pine boards on account of Mr. Symon Bradstreete. When he went to deliver them Mr. Style- man's answer was that he had received orders for the boards and had been at the mills to which the orders were directed. There he found boards enough but could not get hands to lay them by. Deponent asked him what he would do with them and he said that he would not receive them until he had an opportunity to dispose of them. Deponent further testified that the usual custom of delivering boards at the mills in Piscataq river was to take account of them as they arise off the pile and then shoot them down into the water as they were rafted by those who received them, but not to lay them by upon the land unless the receiver procured men to do it.

Richard Walden, aged about forty-eight years, deposed that he received an order from Capt. Pendleton in 1659 to deliver a quan- tity of boards to Mr. Bradstreete on account of Mr. Broughton and Lt. Cooke. Meeting Mr. Bradstreete at Boston, deponent, having a ship to load boards, desired to buy 40,000 foot of boards of him, but he said he would send them himself, one-half for the other. Then deponent tended to ship them, one-half for his ac- count, and to pay him for 20,000, whereupon he said that he could not make a bargain for he had not heard from Mr. Styleman. The latter afterward told deponent that he was afraid that there would be damage in carrying them down the river, and that many would be stolen, also those who ship boards in Piscataq. river suffer much damage by splitting, breaking and loss, besides the cost of rafting and carrying, which was usually 4s. per 1000, etc. Sworn, 16 : 9 : 1663, before Anthony Stoddard,* commissioner.
