A part of Hudson’s Reasons of Appeal (S. F. 1399.3), a mutilated document, follows:
First what J Receaued Any way of him was not vppon my desire of Any Credibt from him but to take vp what I Coold by degrees to satisfie his debts due to me as woold haue Apear[ed] by the date of my accots which was then Redy In the Court for to show[e] which if his accots & mine had bene fully Compared Jt woold Easily haue Apeared that he was greatly in my de[bt] had he attended according to his bond of Arbitration ... & takeing Aduantages Caused a prosecution att the County Court & J suppose g[iues] me [j]ust ground of Apeale . . .
He goes on to say that several of the articles which Leverett alleged to have been furnished to him were delivered to others.
The Court of Assistants (Records, i. 48) confirmed the former judgment and awarded 43s 10d costs to Leverett.]
