Scope and Content
[William] Pilgrim offered a watch for sale in the Swan public house, Hogstye End. He said he has bought it for 3/6d and would sell it for that. Several persons present looked at it and said it was not worth it. John Cox agreed to give him 3/- for it; 2/- of this he 'paid for beer for Pilgrim and himself, and agreed to give him another shilling next time he saw him, but he did not afterwards see him until [Daniel] Sinfield and Pilgrim came to make up the matter. Goodall said you ought to be a pound towards the expenses - deponent said I have had nothing to do with it and only wanted my own money back again .... he readily gave up the watch on receiving the 2 shillings he had paid.'
