he was very sorry he did not; then I ask'd him
who it was, and he said it was Robbin, and then he told me that he
thought Robbin & he had been playing blind-mans Buff, for they had
been over the Ferry twice that night and mist one another; and that
Elijh Phipps & Timo Rand told him that a negro Fellow had been over
the Ferry to speak with him about his Child. And then Mark told me he
would the next Night go over to Robbin and get some more of the same
Powder, and would bring it over on the Sabbath Day, & he went to
Boston on the Saturday night, but did not return till Monday morning,
when he brought it and gave it to me in the little House, as I told
you before.

_Quest._ Did you see Robbin at Charlstown in the Time of your master's
sickness or about the Time of his Death?

_Answr._ Yes, I saw him on ye Tuesday the Ship was launched,
when my master catch'd Mark buying Drink at Mrs Shearman's to treat
him with, & drove him away; and I saw him at Charlstown on the
Saturday after my Master was buried; but I did not speak with him at
either of those Times. The Tuesday he was before our Shop Door, in the
Street, with Mark and had a Bag upon his shoulder; and on the Saturday
in the afternoon I saw him going up the Street by our House, while
Phoebe and I were washing in the back yard; I told Phoebe there
was Robbin a going along this minit, and she said is he? and ask'd me
what Cloaths he had on; I told her he had a bluish Coat on lined with
a straw coloured or yellow lining and the Cuffs open & lined with the
said Yellow lining, and that he had a black wigg on; and I told
Phoebe I believed he was gone up to Mark to tell him not to own that
he had given any Thing to him, and Phoebe said she believed so to;
and I went into the street to the Pump with a Pail to get some Water,
designing to see whether he went that Way, and I saw him go right up
the main street, and I could see him as far up as Mr. Eleazer
Phillips's, and I did not see him afterwards. I never see him with a
Wigg on before, but as he went by us he look'd me full in the Face and
I knew it was Robbin. When I told Phoebe that Robbin was going by, I
thought she saw him, but she questioned whether it was he, and I told
her I was sure it was he, for I had known him ever since he was a boy,
and I told her I would lay a mug of Flip that it was he, but she wou'd
not; and then it was that I told her I believed he was gone up to Mark
&c.

_Quest._ Do you know what Powder
