Abstract
‘Mr. Attersol with the advice of his friends, consulted how to dispose of Mr. Culpeper, which was to send him to London where they placed him with Mr. White, an apothecary near Temple Bar, to whom they gave with him fifty pounds; he having not been with him above a year and a half, Mr White failed, his necessities compelling him to go into Ireland with the loss of Mr. Culpepers money.’
