The Deposicon of Anne the wife of Marke Dale.

The Deponent maketh oath that Richard Russell Thomas Weale & John Mathews did sell unto her husband & her selfe, Two Iron Potts, Two Hoes, one paire of Sheares & about three Quarters of a flirkin of Soape, for seventy two Guildrs wampum &that the greatest part of the said summe was told by her & divided into three parcells which shee delivered unto Thomas Weale for the use of himselfe, Richard Russell & John Mathews, discounting with each of them what was due to her from them, but what day this was upon shee cannot remember, onely that it was in the forenoone: Shee further deposeth that Richard Russell told her in the backe yard of the dwelling house where shee now lives, that he or they were offred seventy two Guildrs for the aforesd Goods by another & had refused it, but shee should have them for that summe, whereupon the Deponent said If you were offred so much by another, I will give you so much for them, & so the bargaine was concluded.

And further this Deponent saith not

The Confession of Thomas Weale.

Thomas Weale confesseth That hee together wth Richard Russell & John Mathews did steale th' aforesd Goods out of Captaine Carteretts Cellar which Goods were by them all sold unto Marke Dale & his wife, as is before specifyde in ye Deposicons.

Hereupon they were all three by the Governors order comitted into the Marshalls hands & after shutt up close prisoners in the

Hole.

In the Evening of the same day being Fryday the Governor ordered some persons to goe to the prisonrs & to advise them to prepare for another world for that one of them should dye ye next day.

Novemb. the tenth (being Saturday) in the forenoone the three prisonrs being brought into the Governors lodgings, they drew Lotts for their lives, & the fatall Lott fell to Thomas Weales share. By the Request & Intercession of the Court of Aldermen the condemned person was reprieved untill Monday.

Sunday Novembr the eleventh, in the Evening a Company of the Cheife Women of the City, both English & dutch made earnest suite to ye Governor for the condemned Mans life: Monday Novemb the twelfth in the morning the same Women who came the last night with many others of the better sort & a greater number of the ordinary Dutch women, did again very much importune the Governor to spare him. THEN all the Souldyrs did unanimously & wth one Consent joyne together in a petition to ye Governor in behalfe of their fellow Souldyrs & chose Sergeant Thomas Exton & Corporall Zachary Banes to deliver it, but Capt. Nedham tooke it & presented it for them. The Tenour of the Peticon is as follows, vizt.

To our Rt. Hoble Governor Coll. Richard Nicolls The humble Peticon of all yor Honors under offiers & Souldyrs in this Garrison

Sheweth

That they doe all acknowledge your Honors Constant Clemency towards severall of us in pardoning our misdemeanors & yor just provocacon to make a severe Example at this Time of our fellow Souldyr Thomas Weale

Yet we are not without hopes that yor honor will extend mercy towards him, Considering his youth & strength may bee for the future employed in a Reformacon of his Life, & to do his Maty faithfull service in his calling, And that beyond the ordinary Goodnesse of your Nature, yor Honor may be the rather inclined at or Intercession to pardon or fellow Souldyr whose sentence alone, will strike as great a Terror in us & detestation of such evill practices, as if he suffer'd Death. Wee doe jointly & severally faithfully promise to yor Honor that we will never act, contrive or conceale any theft or Theaves, but doe & will abhorre & discover any such practices or psons to yor honor, which each of us engage to doe upon the faith & word of a Souldyer.
