"Hon'd Sir
"I have this day spoke with divers that were of the pretended towne Meeting & acted with them as they doe say meerly out of Ignorance for they thought that the Meeting had beene called by the select men or else that the Constable had had a warrant from the Magestrates to have called the Towne together & so it was held forth vnto them as they professe & never was under- stood any thing to the contrary untill this day which if they had they would by noe meanes have beene drawen to act with them And if time would have permitted I doubt not but that they would have drawne a declaration by themselves how they were deluded & presented it to the court. And further concerning that certificate which is now sent to the Court there were divers not at home & others so remoate that by reason of the shortnesse of time they could not be gone unto which otherwise I know would haue set their hands unto it. And many of those that acted in yre pretended meeting would haue willingly set their hands after they understood how illegally the meeting was called only both themselvs & I also thought it might doe more hurt then good in that they would by the Adverse part have beene charged to act both wayes. And one of the oldest men in the Towne whose hand is to the writing sent to the Court who seeth the inconveniency of Judkin sayth if he had Ten hands he would vote by them for Mr Duncan & agaynst Judkin. Sir
"Your obedient son

*Mary Woodbery, aged about forty-six years, deposed that about the middle of last June, Mary Haris, wife of Samuell Haris, came to their house, and having heard that sometimes said Sam- uel used to beat his wife, asked her if it were true. She answered yes and pulled up her sleeve and showed her arm which was black and blue, saying that her husband did it with a great stick that he had used when he was lame. She also said that her back was a great deal worse.
