p. 476
A Bill, entitled, An Act concerning the Name of John Beale
Bordley, was read the first Time, and Ordered to lye on the Table.
D. Dulany, Esq from the Upper House, delivers to M.r Speaker,
the Bill, entitled, An Act for the Relief of several languishing
prisoners, &.ta And the following Message, Viz.t
By the Upper House of Assembly, December 4, 1766.
Gentlemen,
We make no Doubt, but you received from the Evidence offered
to your House, full Satisfaction upon your Enquiry into the Foun-
dation of the Allegations contained in the Petition of Mess.rs Slye
and Barnett, against the Relief of Mayberry Helmes, Jun.r of
Baltimore County, nor is any Thing in that Petition the Ground of
our objecting to his Name's being inserted in the Bill for Relief
of languishing Prisoners; and we presume, also, that you had suffi-
cient Cause for rejecting the Petitions of several Prisoners who
have applied this Session for Relief. Our Objection to the Relief
of Helmes, arises from an Information that he has been guilty of
great Fraud in obtaining a Sum of Money from M.r Nicholas
Maccubbin; and we think, that when a Prisoner's Character is not
clear, he is not entitled to our Favour. We have great Reason also,
to suspect that John Doncastle hath acted with a great Degree of
Unfairness, if not of Fraud, towards one of his Creditors, the Cir-
cumstances whereof having been communicated to this House in
the Petition of Doctor David Ross. For those Reasons, we think
that the other Prisoners, whose Conduct hath not been objected to,
ought to be distinguished from Helmes and Doncastle, in our
Consideration.
Signed by Order U. Scott, Cl. Up.

Wetherburn's Tavern Archaeological Report, Block 9 Building 31 Lot 20 & 21
Originally entitled: "Archaeological Excavations on Colonial Lots 21 and Parts of lots 20 & 22. Wetherburn's Tavern. 1965-1966"
page 44 - 45
The best dated and most visually interesting collection of artifacts came, as is invariably the case, from a colonial well shaft (Well C) and these have been discussed in an earlier section of this report (page 33). Apart from this deposit, the single most important assemblage came from a large but shallow depression (perhaps a tree hole) immediately south of the Outbuilding A complex. (Fig. 1) The material included a quantity of pottery, drinking glass fragments, broken wine bottles, as well as candlestick, a pair of tailor's scissors, a horseshoe and a hoe. The most potentially significant artifact recovered from this deposit was a wine bottle seal bearing the initials J.D. which may be that of John Doncastle who advertised in the Virginia Gazette (November 3, 1752) that he had "... taken the House of Mr. Wetherburn, in Williamsburg, to enter the first of March next, all Gentlemen, &c that please to favour him with their Custom, may depend on the best Accommodations..
It has been argued that Doncastle rented an unidentified Wetherburn house and not the tavern. However, we do know that the term house was used to described Wetherburn's Tavern (Virginia Gazette, April 22, 1757). When Doncastle gave up tavern keeping in Williamsburg he announced "... the House I now live in is to Rented...” and that "... all the Household Furniture and Liquor [is] to be sold.” (Virginia Gazette, August 15, 1755). The association of House and Liquor could be construed as evidence that Doncastle lived and kept tavern on the same premises, while the references to House in both his first and last advertisements could be to the same building, i.e., to "the House of Mr. Wetherburn. Thus the documentary evidence can be convincingly used to suggest that John Doncastle occupied Wetherburn's tavern from 1752 to 1755. As the JD bottle seal was found in a mid-eighteenth century context, it is more than tempting to identify the initials as those of John Doncastle and to look upon this archaeological clue as an endorsement of the documentary evidence.
