1693 Boston Warrant, Partly-printed document issued in the name of William and Mary and signed by clerk Joseph Webb, one page, 7 x 9 inches, Boston, Dec. 30, 1693, Boston, Massachusetts. Ordering the sheriff of Suffolk County to attach the goods or estate of John Poole for the value of 36 pounds or to take him into custody and hold him to appear before the next Inferior Court of Common Pleas to answer the complaint of Robert Warren of Manchester, Massachusetts. It seems Poole hired John Cole, under the command of John Pascoe, to go to Newfoundland on a fishing expedition which lasted from March 1692 to August 1693 and Poole refused to pay the eighteen pounds justly due Mr. Cole. Deputy Sheriff Jacob Amsden signed on the verso that he received a bond from Poole, who would appear in court. Minor damp staining, else in overall good condition. Joseph Webb was clerk of the county court of Suffolk 1689-1692, and of the Inferior Court 1692-1698. John Poole, son of William, married Elizabeth (1677), daughter of Governor Brenton, and died in 1711.
