Cloak in the Kitchin it being in my way but when I came there it was gone and not to be seen I was then vexed to see how I was abused then I askt for my Cloak Margaret Meakens reply'd she was sorry for me I askt her for what she told me I was so fudled that I knew not what I did with my Cloak this she had from Hilkiah Bedford by her Daughters I told her also I was not so much over-taken but I knew what I did with my Cloak for I le●t it on the back of the Chair and her Daughters had hid it she said she was confident that they had it not but that being as I was I had lost it then I said I would have it for it was in the House then she calls one of her Daughters and she denies it then she charged them all to bring it if they had it so at last they brought it By that time came one John Middleton he askt me how I did I answered him I knew not now he de●ired to know why I said so I told him that I was fudled he said why sayst thou so I see no such thing I said Margaret Meakens saith so and it must needs be true I p●ay thee ●ait● he wil● thou go along with me and help thy Countrymen sell their Cheese thou didst u●e to help them so I went al●ng with him and did my endeavour in sending for Chapmen so it cost me money and time but that was not so much to me as the abuse put upon me When I had done what I could do for them then I thought it was best to kill the Cockatrice in the Egg if it were possible whereupon I went to the Peel where I had several times been before to complain of him for abusing me and to desire them to call him to an account why he did so but all was in vain although I told them I was a stranger and that they ought to do right to strangers except they could finde any just cause against them but he being their Orator to his Majesty and so great at the Court was the cause that they were so unwilling to question him but now I was resolved to put it on to the uttermost of my power with this resolution I went again to the Peel in St. Johns Street where they kept their Court and being come I charged them with injustice and with-all told them what abuses and ●●●ronts I had met with that day by Hilkiah Bedford and through his means whereupon at the last I had admittance to speak for my self so I rehearsed those things that are above written then they told me I should have a hearing that day fortnight and I was to warn them in Before the time came I went to him and told him how he had done by me and that he must appear there at the time appointed he told me he did not care for he had those that would justifie what he had said but I told him that I could prove these things were false but said he what Margaret Meakens said should be believ'd although I could bring a thousand witnesses or any other that came constantly to the Meeting but for my part I came not constantly therefore I should not be believed after that I went to one in Houns-Ditch she live that the Wheat-sheaf where Thomas Salthouse useth to lod●e but when I came there she was not within but they told me where Thomas Salthouse was gone then I went after him and found him I told him the occasion of my coming to him and also to warn in the Mistriss of the House where he lodg'd for I did understand that she had call'd me a Drunkard and that she was to be at the Peel at the time appointed he desired me to forbear for they would all hold together and it was better for me to refer it to George Fox then I told him all the manner of it and how I was wronged he said it was no matter for all that for they would hold together let it be right or wrong because I was a stranger but if he could s●ay in Town he would come and speak for me himself but that he was going out of Town that Day I said I did not fear them all for I would stand to that which was just and true and if they would not do that which was true I would declare against them but he desired me not to pluck up the Wheat with the Tares for said he you know that there were some amongst them that were honest and just and for their sakes he desired that it might be deferred until George Fox came to the Town to which at the last I condescended but withall I told him that if they should hold together in those things that were unjust then I would not favour any of them but however I must appear because I had warned them in already but when I came there I would not do as he had required me upon which we departed each from other The next Day being the time appointed I came there and a short time after came Hilkiah Bedford and John Boulton being then the Chief Judge to determine all matters that came before him I still waiting when I should be called for there were many that were called and judged according to the manner of their Court but I was not called at all I suppose they had no mind to do me Right and were afraid to do me Wrong le●t I should set them forth but ●hen they had done the Clark of the Court stood up and said That 〈◊〉 there were any that had any Complaints to make they might ●●eak and they should be heard the next Court day which was to be there that day fort-night After a time of silence I stood up and said ●hat whereas that day sort-night I had made a Complaint against some one in that place I was resolved to let rest till George Fox came ●o Town Then John Boulton which was that Day Judge said That if I did so they had something against me I Asked of him what that was he told me That the last time I was there that I commanded them to do Justice Did I think that they would not do Justice Did I repent for that I told him that I must first see it done and then I would speak more to him but as yet I had ●o cause to repent before I did see it done J. Boulton But thou saydst that thou wast at the Pewter-Platter this Day fort-night all the after-noon it is not for thee to stay so long there What didst there all that while sitting drinking there Answ I will not throughly resolve It was help some of my Acquaintance that lived in the same Parish which I was born in to sell their Cheese ●●ee unless thou wilt go through all and begin at the beginning then I will give thee an account of it J. B. But thou art found in a Fault
