[_Deposition of_ NICHOLAS SAYER.]
Nicholas Sayer of London, skinner, of the age of 49 years or
thereabouts, sworn and examined upon his oath, saith that he and William
Knight were desired by the said Rastell and Walton, being at the Mitre
in Cheap, to view such costs as the said Walton had done in making of
stage for player in Rastell's ground beside Finsbury, in timber, board,
nail, lath, sprig, and other things. Which they esteemed and judged at
50s. that Rastell should pay to the said Walton, and upon payment of the
said 50s. the said Walton to render such garments as he had in his
keeping to the said Rastell. And he saith he saw the garments, and there
were none of them of new stuff to his knowledge, nor what the value of
them were, and more he knoweth not.
(Signed) per me NICHOLAS SAYER.
