Sayeth she went yesternight last to her neighbour Darwall and there found her husband drinking and gaming and came home with this examinate and about 8 of the clock did eat his supper and did not tarry in the house but went forth… and came in about 9 of the clock.
Examined saith that yesternight this examinate lying in bed near… to the house of the said Sale hearing them up as this examinate thought about 12 of the clock did demand of the wife of the said Sale how is it fortuned they were up so late she answered that her husband had been at Darwall’s drinking and was come in and was... forth again and she could not tell whither and she tarried for him and this examinate then heard the said wife speak to one John Hoz and asked where her husband was, and he answered that he went down the lane right… and this examinate thinking at daylight that the said Sale came to… this examinate’s house to light a candle and she thought he was overseen with drink and his said wife told this examinate this day that her husband was drunk yesterday and that it was 12 of the clock he came in yesternight.
Examined saith that Sale and his wife came to this examinate’s house about seven of the clock yesternight and there tarried about two hours drinking together and he and his wife went home… and came again and did eat together in this examinate’s house during that time and then went home both together… and afterwards he returned back again to this examinate’s house and would have he a penny worth of candles and this examinate’s wife delivered to him a penny worth three in number, and tarried no longer but immediately departed back again with the candles and a lantern in his hand and this examinate saw him not afterwards.
Examined saith that John Sale Sunday evening last came to this examinate’s house and would have had a pot of ale and this examinate perceiving him as she thought to be drink said he should have none and thereupon Sale said that this examinate’s husband had blamed him for coming that morning to his garden.
