Whereas, Upon a misunderst[anding], it was by my Direc- tion Published in the Gazette of the 1st and 5th of May Instant, that Samuel Starkey was gon away with Five Trunks of Stockins, as tho he had not bought them; These are therefore to Certifie, that my Father Gabriel Cressey of London, Merchant, Sold and Delivered the said Stockins to the said Samuel Starkey [for] 832 l. 1 s. as appears by his Books of Accompts, and Bill of Parcels and Sale, signed with his own hand. And moreover, the day after I delivered them, into his Habitation and [p]ossession, he did accept and take his Bond [for] Obli- gation for payment of the said 832 l. 1 s. This I do hereby acknow- ledge and declare, in Justification of the said Samuel Starkey, that it may be known to be no Fraud, but a Debt upon Bargain and Sale, ac- cording to Law; and that he was fully satisfied and paid the same. Witness my Hand this Eighth Day of May 1690. Lawrenc[e] Cressey, ON the 7th Day of May 1690: The said Gabriel Cressey the Father, & Lawrence Cressey the Son, being satisfied their said Debt, delivered up the said Bond or O- b[li]gation, and also a General Release, seal'd and delivered by Them, to the use of the sa[i]d Samuel Starkey, in the Presence of Bartholmew Midy, Merchant. John Corbuster, Merchant. Henry Windham, Milliner, And J. Farmer, Attorney at Law. And on the same Day, the said Lawrence Cressey did, according to Agreement, go in Person to se-veral Places, where he had given the said Samuel Starkey Scandal and Disturbance, and did publickly acknowledge and declare the Substance of his said Certificate. And the next Day, the said Lawrence Cressey sign'd, the said Certificate, in the presence of the above named, Henry Windham, at his House at the Hand and Pen in Russel-Street in Covent-Garden.
