Dorcas Jordan humbly sheweth that forasmuch as she is very ancient and sickly and being willing to enjoy peace and quietness in her old age do acquaini your Worships that she by the last will and testament of Mr. John Jordan being an executrix and obliged to pay a legacy of £25 sterling which was bequeathed unto her deceased son John Spence and not paid unto him in his life time nor since to his administrators by reason that no demand is made for it and chiefly by reason that Mr. Lawrence Pope and Jemima his wife, relict and administratrix to her said son, is considerably indebted unto your petitioner* and because she can discount the legacy that way they will let the whole matter lie dormant which seems much an intent of fraud against your petitioner which will undoubtedly happen if some course be not taken as by this petition is required or otherwise that your petitioner must be litigious at law to right herself, which she [is] very unwilling to do in hopes that in long run that matters maybe rightly concerted in a more peacable manner, do therefore humbly pray she may be admitted to swear to the truth of her account against Pope and Jemima his wife.
