_Depositions for the part of_ HENRY WALTON _against_ JOHN RASTELL.

[_Deposition of_ WILLIAM KNIGHT.]

William Knight of London, latten founder, of the age of 56 years, sworn

or examined upon his oath, saith that Walton did make of new for stages

and stage players as much as by estimation, esteemed by this deponent

and William Sayer at 50s. in board, timber, lath, nail, sprig and

daubing, which the said Rastell should have paid to the said Walton by

their arbitrament, which were chosen indifferently by them both, and

then Rastell said it was too much, and afterwards the said Rastell

arrested the same Walton, and much business was between them.

And as to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th interrogatories, he knoweth

nothing. And as to the 7th and last article, he saith that the said

Rastell had certain garments for players, which were made of old

sarcenet, but how many he knoweth not, nor he doth not esteem the value

of them nor any of them, and more he knoweth not.

(Signed) per me WILLIAM KNIGHT.
