This done, Captaine[298] William Powell presented to the Assembly a petition to have justice against a lewde[299] and trecherous servante of his who by false accusation given up in writing to the Governo^r[300] sought not onely to gett[301] him deposed from his government of James citty and utterly (according to the Proclamation) to be degraded from the place and title of a Captaine, but to take his life from him also. And so out of the said Petition sprang this order following: Captaine William Powell presented a Petition to the generall[302] Assembly against[303] one Thomas Garnett, a servant of his, not onely for extreame neglect of his business to the great loss[304] and prejudice of the said Captaine, and for openly and impudently abusing his house, in sight both of Master and Mistresse, through wantonnes[305] w^{th} a woman servant of theirs, a widdowe, but also for falsely accusing him to the Governo^r[306] both of Drunkenes &[307] Thefte, and besides for bringing all[308] his fellow servants to testifie[309] on his side, wherein they justly failled[310] him. It was thought fitt by the general assembly (the Governour himselfe[311] giving sentence), that he should stand[312] fower dayes with his eares nayled to the Pillory, viz: Wednesday, Aug. 4^{th}, and so likewise Thursday, fryday and Satturday[313] next following, and every of those fower dayes should be publiquely whipped.
