Title
Information of William King of Shillington, farmer. He had ten loads of wheat for sale in Hitchin Market. One load 'was pitched' and the other nine were in a shop in the yard of the Swan Inn, Hitchin. John Simkins was employed as a sack carrier. He was to 'bring the sample sack to and from the shop and ... deliver the bulk if sold. After trying the market without selling, I directed John Simkins to take the sample sack back to the loft, telling him I should not sell that day - he afterwards, without authority, sold and sent away four loads of wheat.'
