WRG: This came through the Worcester County List.
A friend of mine copied out of the above books the fornication suits and
a couple of other things relative to Worcester County.

Benjamin Whitney of Lancaster, Husbandman being bound over by way of
Recognizance to this Court by Mr. Justice Wilder to answer for his being
Guilty of the Sin of Fornication, appeared in Court & Pleaded Guilty
whereupon the Court ordered that he pay as a fine the Sum of Twenty
Shillings & Cost 2/6 which he paid Down in Court and his Recognizance was
Cancelled.
