11. Did not the Defendandant Clayton's Wife warm the Wax in a Pan for to seal the said Leases which were found in G. Copley's Office?

Interrogate. If the Defendants Francis Nevile,* 1.1 and William Clayton did not (when they forged the said Leases) give the said Clayton's Wife wax to warm in a Pan, and whether (she overheating it, or burning it to the Pan side) the said Nevile and Clayton did not take wax from old Evidences, because the said Leases were antedated about a year, and put it to them? And did not the said Clayton then say to Francis Nevile, he hoped he would have no swearing for them? To which Francis Nevile replyed with an Oath. (Will.) dost thou think I am mad? I'll warrant thee no swearing, I have but a couple of Fooles (Copley and Hastings) to deal with, I will onely shew them the Leases and get a composition of them, and that's all I look for. And did not Francis Nevile then carry them away from the said Clayton without any seals put to the said wax? or what else was done or spoken then to this effect?
