London, May 9, 1751. 10-1/4" x 8-1/2" part-printed document completed in manuscript with manuscript docket to verso.

Susanna apparently swore "on her Oath faith, that she don't know where her late Husband's Settlement is" and presumably also had no knowledge of the matter concerning Mrs. Ann Horton. It seems likely that Susanna had previously refused to cooperate with the investigation, forcing Nash to formally arrest her.
