on in place of the tackle hooke to make the scales even the sayd Iron worke<br />
was againe weighed before ever it was taken out of the shopp, and the same<br />
wanting about a pound weight in two draughts by reason of the want of the tackle hooke<br />
the sayd Christmas had abatement for that pound weight And this<br />
deponent doth by virtue of his oath affirme that the sayd eye of the tackle<br />
hooke was upon the scales that day imediately before the scales were taken<br />
