of this Prosecution protest that he was totally innocent of the Charge
brought against him by the said Barbara Wilson and the prosecutors in this

Wilson< no role > for his defence in this Cause there appears the greatest reason for
this Deponent to believe that the said Samuel Wilson< no role > is greatly

would be honourably acquitted on a fair Tryal, And this Deponent saith
he is a Stranger to any means pretended to be used to induce the said
Barbara Wilson< no role > to abscond
