_Answr._ In the Lane aforesd.

_Quest._ Where did you all go after you drank the Toddy?

_Answr._ We all came away together & went thro' Mr. Sprague's Yard & so thro' Mrs. Silence Harris's yard & Entry into the street.

and they went directly down to the Ferry and I went into my master's Yard with the Pots I brought from the Potters Work house.

_Quest._ Did you then go with them to the Ferry or nearer to it than your master's House?

_Answr._ No, I did not.

_Quest._ Did Robbin give you, or did you give Robbin any Thing between the Time of your coming out of Mr. Harris's Entry and his going over the Ferry?

_Answr._ No, I did not give him any Thing neither did he give me any Thing.

_Quest._ After you had parted with him when you came thro' the Entry, did you call him back?

_Answr._ No, I did not.

_Quest._ Did your master that Day forbid Mrs Shearman's letting you have any more Drink?

_Answr._ Yes, my master told her not to sell any Drink to any of his Servants.

_Quest._ Did Robbin know of it?

_Answr._ Not that I know of; he see master go into Mrs.

Shearman's Shop, and pa.s.s'd by Robbin in the Lane as Robbin told me.

_Quest._ Did you ever apply to any body else, besides Robbin for Poison?

_Answr._ No, only to Carr, Doctr. Gibbon's negro man, and then Phoebe sent me for it. She had been with Carr before on the same account, & he told her he cou'd not get her any then, as she told me;

_Quest._ Did you get any Poison of Carr?

_Ansr._ No, he told me he wou'd not let me have any, untill he had seen Quaco, and did not know whether he shou'd then or not, and I never went to him afterwards.

_Quest._ Did you never ask Doctr. Rand's Cato for any Poison?

_Answr._ No, I do not know that I ever did, in the World.

_Quest._ Had you and Phoebe any Conversation together about your master in or near your Blacksmith's Shop or in the yard the Monday before your master died?

_Answr._ I had not, that I know of.

_Quest._ Did you that Day before Tom or any other of your master's Servants say that you knew that your master would dye or utter any Words to that effect?

_Answr._ No, I did not. The Day before master dyed, Phoebe came into the Shop to dress Tom's Eye & got to dancing & mocking master & shaking herself & acting as master did in the Bed; And Tom said he did not care, he hop'd he wou'd never get up again for his Eye's sake, and Scipio was there at the same time and saw her.

_Quest._ Did you ever Say that your master had been offer'd 400 for you but wou'd not take it, and now he shou'd not have a farthing or Words to that effect?
