Wall - p. 156: "In ca. 1738, Cato, owned by Francis Littlefield of Wells, stole goods at Kittery from the Rev. John Newmarch, Samuel Newmarch, and Samuel Hixon. He was convicted and ordered to restore goods and pay a £4 fine or suffer fifteen stripes. He was also to pay the above men triple the value of stolen goods or was to be sold for the same sum by those men for a term of six years. Cato was 'committed until sentence be performed.'"
