This document and the one preceding (MSN/COL 2717-68) relate to the case of John Throop, Jr. and Sarah Child, both of Bristol. This second document, dated 8 August 1744, is a warrant directing the sheriff to bring Throop and Child before a justice of the peace to become bound by recognizance to answer the jury presentment of the previous June. The verso bears an endorsement by William Cox, constable, reporting that he arrested Throop, but could not locate Child.
