_Quest._ Did you ever tell Phoebe or Phillis that the Week before your master dyed, that you went over the Ferry to see Robbin to get some more Poison, and that he came over the Ferry in another Boat and so you mist each other and that he Robbin pretended to the Ferry-man that he was a Country negro and wanted to see you about your Child, or Words to that Effect? _Answr._ I never told them or either of them so. _Quest._ How came that Viall buried near your Forge in the Black-Smith's Shop, that you told Mr. Kettell of, and he found there? _Answr._ I buried it there. _Quest._ When did you bury it there? _Answr._ In the afternoon of that Day that master dyed. _Quest._ Where did you get that Vial? _Answr._ I took it from Phillis that same Afternoon. _Quest._ Did any body see you take it from her? _Answr._ No. When I took it from Phillis she own'd that Phoebe had given the first Poison that I brought to master; and that she and Phoebe had given him all the Rest saving what was then in the Bottle. and thereupon I went to Phoebe and charged her with it, she at first deny'd it, but at last own'd it it and begg'd me to say nothing about it; I told her if I had known she wou'd have put it to that use I would not have got it for her; then I call'd Pompey to go down to the shop with me for I wanted to speak with him, intending to shew him the Vial, and he came into the shop but before I had an opportunity to speak to him Mr. Kettell took me. _Quest._ Where was the Vial when you talked with Phoebe as aforesd? _Answr._ I had it in my Pocket, and told her so, then I went into the shop and buried it, then I went into the House immediately to call Pompey to shew it to him. _Quest._ Why did you bury the Vial before you called Pompy? or shew it to any body? _Answr:_ I buried it because I did not want any body should see it before I shewed it to him. _Questn._ Have you lately had any Potters powder'd Lead by you or in your Possession? _Answr._ Only that I had from Essex Powars; which was as I suppose ground to Powder. _Quest._ When did you get that powder'd Lead of Essex? _Ansr:_ I had it of him that Day I went there for six butter Pots, which my master's son Isaac sent me for. _Quest._ What did you get that Lead for? _Answr._ To see if it would melt in our Fire. upon a Dispute between Tom and I about it; Tom said it would melt, and I told him I did not believe it would; I carried it home and laid it upon the Wall Plate in the Blacksmith's shop, and I never moved it afterwards or thought any Thing about it, 'till it was show'd to me by the Justice. _Quet._ Do you know that any Part of that Lead you had of Essex or any Lead like unto it was given to your master or put into his Victuals or Drink? _Answr._ I do not. _Quest._ Do you know of any Proposal made of poisoning your master? _Answ._ No, I do not, nor ever heard any such Thing proposed by any Body. _Quest._ Do you know of any Cushoe nuts being procured for that Purpose?
