[_Deposition of_ THOMAS CURTIS.]
Thomas Curtis of London, glazier, of the age of 54 years, sworn and
examined upon his oath, saith that the said Walton made attachment of 15
playing garments; and thereupon this deponent and one John Wilkinson
were commanded by the Mayor's clerk, called John Edmay, to appraise the
same garments indifferently. Which the said deponent and John Wilkinson,
after their conscience, appraised to the uttermost value of them, and
the value or sum amounted unto 35s. 9d., and he and the said Wilkinson
delivered a bill thereof to the said clerk of the Mayor's Court; and he
thinketh that after the custom of the City of London the said Walton
lawfully recovered the same, but how they were delivered to the said
Walton he knoweth not. And further he saith, that at the time of the
said appraisement the said garments were old and torn, so that then they
were not able to be worn nor occupied. And also he saith he would have
been loath to have given so much for them as they were appraised at, and
more he knoweth not.
