Aug. 1651 ? Smith petitions that, though his new charge was
entered by the registrar, it was delayed, and he put to charges
by an order to Carey, to see if it was not the same as the charge
before the registrar, it was delayed, and he put to charges
by an order to Carey, to see if it was not the same as the charge

Hall unduly by dint of corruption. That much corruption is now
used by Hall and his agents, and the depositions were only certified by a counterfeit certificate, which he holds himself obliged to
discover. Begs that as an order has been given to examine his
miscarriages, there may be also one to examine those of the
