In the early part of October, the prisoner came to me, it was either on a Monday, or a Tuesday; I don't specify which; he brought six sheep, and he requested me to let him put them into my fields until the Thursday, when he was going to take them to market. Four were taken on the Wednesday; but I don't know by whom, one is dead, and the other is in my possession now.
