This was the Cause about the Contract for Brick Work and other Work to be done in the Fort, which was begun the First day of the Sittings Wed: Feb. 4th. and in which Mr. Aldersey then gave Evidence that he then beleives the contractors whose names were to the Contract to be the real contractors. The cause went on very slowly the whole morning being taken by in making extracts from Books.
Some of the Books were Copies, but it was sworn, that Mr. Darrell, late Accountant, who is gone to England, took away the originals, and therefore the Court were of opinion, the Copies were evidence.
