1778. 4 Sittings. [Thursday] Nov. 19.

Defendant. A Golah, is a yard or Ware-House where Gross Goods are kept, as in, the Present case, Wood.
Impey thought this a Gross attempt to impose on the Court a Perjury, and that the Plaintiff thought, the Court would beleive any thing that Witnesses would swear.
The Plaintiff call’d a Second Witness who was a miserable Old Woman as the first was, but she was not examined Impey and Chambers thinking of the first Witness that she was Perjured.
They, not with my opinion, call’d on the Plaintiff’s Councel to admit his Case was so improbable that it could not gain Credit, and to suffer a Non-Suit, and there was a Non-Suit.
Afterward it was said, the Plaintiff was a Servant of the Defendant, and that the accusation made by the Plaintiff in the Cutcherry, was of stealing his Wood and Selling it, which the Defendant confessing, had paid his Master, all the money he had, though not near so much as was stated, nor near equal to what he had defrauded
