mean to say as I don't know Edward Edmunds the Son of
William Edmunds of the Greyhound - I am sure I don't know
him if I was to see him - I can't say as I have ever seen
the Prisoner before and swear to it - I am sure I can't say
as he is the Son of William Edmunds - I saw Edwd Edmunds
once pass our house I am sure of that - my Sister then told
me so - the Men went away at 7 in the Morning - I can't say

turn his Pistols with - I did not give him a fork - I believe
my Brother Henry Charles is here.
