James Lumas told him, he and two others had rob
bed a Lore in New-England of the said goods. They
having no invoices for them, or paflports, they were
committed to the gaol of the said county; on their

him fold for the use of the townflap, after paying the
costs and charges that have accrued thereon, unless
