Mr. Cressey's
JUSTIFICATION
OF
Mr. Samuel Starkey.
|
Whereas, Upon a misunderst[anding], it was by my Direc-
|
tion Published in the Gazette of the 1st and 5th of May Instant, that
|
Samuel Starkey was gon away with Five Trunks of Stockins, as tho
|
he had not bought them; These are therefore to Certifie, that my
|
Father Gabriel Cressey of London, Merchant, Sold and Delivered the
|
said Stockins to the said Samuel Starkey [for] 832 l. 1 s. as appears by
|
his Books of Accompts, and Bill of Parcels and Sale, signed with his
|
own hand. And moreover, the day after I delivered them, into his
|
Habitation and [p]ossession, he did accept and take his Bond [for] Obli-
|
gation for payment of the said 832 l. 1 s. This I do hereby acknow-
|
ledge and declare, in Justification of the said Samuel Starkey, that it
|
may be known to be no Fraud, but a Debt upon Bargain and Sale, ac-
|
cording to Law; and that he was fully satisfied and paid the same.
|
Witness my Hand this Eighth Day of May 1690.
|
Lawrenc[e] Cressey,
|
ON the 7th Day of May 1690: The said Gabriel Cressey the Father, & Lawrence
|
Cressey the Son, being satisfied their said Debt, delivered up the said Bond or O-
|

|
sa[i]d Samuel Starkey, in the Presence of Bartholmew Midy, Merchant. John Corbuster, Merchant. Henry Windham, Milliner, And J. Farmer, Attorney at Law.
