Whereas it appeareth by the printed booke of names of the Aduen-
turors that one Io: Clapham paid 25li into the Treasury who lately
died intestate. It was therefore moued this Court would please to
confirme the said two shares of §land§ vnto mr[1048] Clapham being
his next heire, But in respect no Billℯ of Aduenture could be showen
to proue the deceased Clapham to be that Io Clapham menc̃oned in this
printed booke the Court remained in some doubt least he was not the
same man and therefore haue respited the graunt of the said Shares
till his claime appeare to be iust by some clearer evidence. [289]
