Title
Examination of William Manning of Sandy. While he was in the Black Horse public house at Everton Samuel [sic – James] Usher came in with Robert Cooper and John Gayler. He waited for the others and they all went out together. As they were passing John Smith’s house Usher asked what it was that was lying in the garden. When told it was lead he asked if it was of any value, Manning told him it might be worth a pound to the owner and Usher then said ‘then damn me if I do not have it.’ Usher, Cooper and Gayler then carried it in turns to Mr Pym’s park gates, where Manning left them and they bade him say nothing about it and when they sold it they would give him a good treat. Manning went afterwards and informed Mr Thornton of the occurrence.
