Accordingly at the request of sd Rich: Clarke Assignee of Mr Benjamin Whetcombe I the Not. aforesª did repaire unto major Robt Sedgwick and in the name of the sª Rich: Clarke & Benjamin Whetcombe his principall, did protest against the said Robt Sedgwick & Robt Houghton for non paymt & Delivery of the sd quantity of fish according to Bill, and for all Damages wch the sd Rich: Clarke & Benjamin Whetcombe or either of them doe or shall suffer by reason thereof, for all wch I the Not. aforesª do by these p'sents ptest that the sd Robt Sedgwick & Robt Houghton or theire estates shalbe responsall, & lyable to make just & due reparations in time & place con- venient.

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 Ile 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 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, wch he pmised to accept of in that consideration. Now I haveing laded fish uppon severall accounts uppon the shipp Mr Clark was in, when I came to account, I first demanded up the sd bill of 200 Kint, wch hee denyed, and would not let me have it, but forced me to dis- count the sd 200 Kintalls upon another Account volens nolens, at that place, there being no power to compell.


I also attested a Copie of the protest.
