John Gleave saith all Carters Close was cut through before the 19th of April 1775 except about twelve yards, which they Cut thro' sometime after, at their own discretion, not having any orders from the Committee of Undertakers; and that they thought the Undertakes, their Masters, by having a Leter of leace from Mr Yates's Steward, and permission from Arkoll the Apparent Tennant, had a right so to do.
