WG  Samuel Dickerson
                    @
    John Dennis Jun.r
 Somerset County sst  John Dennis Jun.r Late of Somerset County
Inholder was attached to answer unto Samuel Dickerson of a plea of
trespass upon the Case &c
And Whereupon the same Samuel by William Goldsborough his attorney complaineth
that whereas the afd John after the first day of may in the year of our Lord God seventeen hundred
and five to wit the twentieth day of March Anno Dom seventeen hundred thirty and four at
Somerset County ^afd^ did draw his certain note in writing called a promissory note with his proper hand
subscribed bearing date the day and year last mentioned and that note unto the same Samuel then
and there did deliver by which said note the same John did promise to pay unto the same Samuel
or order the sum of one thousand five hundred and thirty pounds of good ^merchantable^ tobacco for value received
and by reason thereof as also by force of the statute in such case lately made and provided the same
John became lyable to pay unto the same Samuel the afd sum of tobacco according to the Tenor to
of the note afd and so being lyable the afd John in Consideration thereof afterwards to wit the
afd twentieth day of March Anno Dom seventeen hundred thirty and four afd at Somerset
County afd upon himself did assume and unto the same Samuel then and there faithfully did
promise to pay unto him the afd sum of tobacco According to the tenor of the note afd   Nevertheless
the afd John his promise and Assumption afd nothing regarding but minding and fraudulently
intending the same Samuel in this part craftily and subtily to deceive and defraud the afd sum
of tobacco or any part thereof unto the same Samuel hath not paid altho to do the same by the
afd Samuel afterwards to wit the tenth day of July Anno Dom seventeen hundred thirty
and six at the County afd the afd John was required but that unto him hitherto to pay ^altogether^ hath
refused and still doth refuse to the damage of the same Samuel three thousand pounds of tobacco
And thereupon he bringeth suit &c                                             pledges &c   Jno Doe & R Roe

And the afd John Dennis Jun.r in his Own proper person Cometh and defendeth the force and
Injury when &c and saith that he Cannot gainsay the action afd of the afd Samuel nor but
that he did assume upon himselfe in manner and form as the afd Samuel ^hath^ above against
him Complained  And as to the damage of the Same Samuel by him by Occasion of the premisses
in that part Sustained the Same John saith and Confesseth that the afd Samuel hath
Sustained Damages by Occasion of the premisses further than his Costs and Charges by him about
his Suit in that part apposed to One thousand five hundred and thirty pounds of tobacco
and not more and becaus the afd Samuel Denys not this but the Same allegation Confesseth
to be true prays Judgm.t and those Damages first above Confessed together with those
Costs and Charges afd to him to be adjudged &c

Therefore by Consent of the parties afd it is Considered that the afd Samuel Dickerson
Recover against the afd John Dennis Jun.r his damages afd to the afd One thousand five hundred
and thirty pounds of tobacco by the Same John in form afd Confessed as also
                                                                                                             pds
