SALEM QUARTERLY COURT
[Nov.
Roger Preston, late of Salem, having died intestate almost a year since and his debts amounting to more than his estate, no one appeared to administer upon it. Several parcels of the estate were subject to loss unless care be taken about them, and the court ordered that Henry Skerry, marshal, take the estate into his pos- session to sell what cannot conveniently be kept, he to receive recompense out of said estate. Mr. Batter and Mr. Bartholmew of Salem were requested to examine and audit accounts between said Preston and any of the creditors and return their report at the next Ipswich court, where every creditor who expected satisfaction was to appear in person or by attorney, to receive his proportion. This order was to be published at some public town meeting at Ipswich by Robert Lord, clerk of the court there, and also posted upon the meeting house at Salem by the marshal there.
Hugh Hancock, having been censured by the Worshipful Major Wm. Hathorne for swearing, was ordered to be whipped and sent to the house of correction for his unruly carriage, and to be returned to this court to answer to what should be objected against him. Said Hugh appeared and was convicted by testimony of railing and threatening speeches against the country and his master, threatening to kill him, and other gross abuses offered to his dame. Court ordered him to pay 10li. to the county treasurer and 12li. to his master Bigford for his time, and to be committed to the prison at Ipswich until he be conveyed out of the country to Barbadus or some other English plantation to be sold for the payment of his fine, or otherwise if any one would undertake to discharge the amount and convey him out of the country, provided it be to some English plantation .*
*Christian Bickford, aged about seventeen years, deposed that on Sept. 15 of the last year, being in bed in her own house in an inner room with the door locked, Hugh Hancock, her husband's servant broke open the door, etc. Deponent said she would go to some of her neighbors and he told her that if she set foot out of the bed he would stab her, etc. Sworn, 27 : 9 : 1666, before Wm. Hathorne,f assistant.
Wm. Hathorne'st judgment in this complaint.
Nicholas Cole, aged about thirty years, and Bartholmew Gale, aged twenty-five years, deposed that he heard Hancock use threat- ening speeches against his master, George Bigford, saying "I will have the hart blood of thee or thine," and that he was so unruly that the constable was fain to take him into his custody all night.
