Galloway for y^e use of his Master Henry Mildenay afores^d the summe of 100^li in Guineas & a six pence (where being 93 Guineas) and that he rec^d the same at y^e house of y^e said Iohn Galloway a Meal man near to Watts Coffee house in Iermyn street in S^t Iames's And y^t after he this Informant had p^d away 23 \of those/ Guineas to sev^rall persons he carried the remaining 70 Guineas on Satturday last to m^r Richard Hoar a Goldsmith in Fleet street to pay to him the s^d. M^r Hoar y^e sume of 75^li. for y^e use of M^r Augustine Brewster Whereupon Henry {illeg}|H|oare son of y^e s^d Richard in receiveing y^e said Guineas and viewing them on y^e Edges observed many of them to be ill Grain'd as if they Had been done with a file and severing y^e bad Guineas from y^e Good Ones and trying them by weight found above 50. of them too light by about 4 or 5 Graines a piece and Marked on y^e Edges by a Counterfeit Graining whereby he concluded y^t they had been deminished.
