INTRODUCTION

The Charter of " The Governor and Company of Massachusetts
Bay in New England," granted March 4, 1628-9, provided that
annually there should be chosen from among the freemen of the
Company, a Governor, Deputy-Governor and eighteen Assistants.
Among the duties prescribed for this governing body was that of
holding

" vpon every last Wednesday in Hillary, Easter, Trinity and
Mich[aelm]as termes respectivelie for ever, one greate, generall,
and solempe Assemblie, which foure Generall Assemblies shalbe
stiled and called the Foure Greate and Generall Courts of the saide
Company."*

For a number of years this Court exercised the entire judicial
powers of the Colony but with the increase of population there
came a necessity for additional tribunals, and at a session of the
General Court held in Boston on March 3, 1635-6, the following
law was adopted : —

<< Further, it is ordered, that there shalbe ffoure Courts kept
eu'"y quarter, 1, att Ipsw<^^ to which Neweberry shall belonge ; 2
att Salem, to w'='' Saugus shall belonge ; 3, att Newe Towne, to w"^^
Charlton, Concord, Meadford, & Waterton shall belonge; 4"', att
Boston, to w'='^ Rocksbury, Dorchesf, Weymothe, & Hingham shall
belonge.

" Eu''y of their Courts shalbe kept by such magistrates as
shal[lbe] dwelling in or neere the said townes, & by such other
psons of worth as shall from tyme to tyme be appoyncted by the
Gen^all Court, soe as noe Court shalbe kept without one magistrate
att the least, & that none of the magistrates be excluded, whoe can
& will intend the same ; yet the Gen^'all Court shall appoynct w'^"
of the magistrates shall specially belonge to eu''y of the saide Court.
Such psons as shalbe ioyned as assotiates to the magistrates in
the said Court shalbe chosen by the Gen^'all Court, out of a greater
number of such as the seu'^all townes shall nominate to them, soe

as there may be in eu^'y of the said Courts soe many as (with the
magistrates) may make fyve in all. Theis Courts shall trie all
civil causes, whereof the debt or damage shall not exceede x", &
all criminall causes, not concerneing life, member, or banishm*'. And
if any pson shall finde himself e greived with the sentence of any
the said Courts, hee may appeale to the nexte greate Quarter Court,
divided that hee putt in sufficient caucon to psent his appeale with
effect, & to abide the sentence of the magistrates in the said greate
Quarter Court, whoe shall see that all such that shall bringe any
appeale without iust cause be exemplaryly punished.

" There shalbe foure great Quarter Courts kept yearely att Bos-
ton, by the Gou''n' & the rest of the magistrates ; the first, the
first Tuesday in the 4th moneth, called June; the second, the first
Tuesday in Septemb"" ; the third, the first Tuesday in Decemb"" ; the
fourthe, the first Tuesday in the !"• monethe, called Marche. The
inferior Courts shalbe kept the 1'", the last Tuesday in June, & the
rest the last Tuesday in eu^y of the said monethes.

" All accons shalbe tryed att that Court to w*^*" y^ def* belongs.

"All offenders which shalbe in the prison att Boston att the
tyme of any Court there holden , shalbe tryed att that Court, ex-
cept in the war* of his comitm* hee be reserved to the greate
Quarter Court. And it shalbe lawfull for the Gou''n% or Deputy
Gou'^n'", or any two magistrates (vpon speciall & vrgent occacon),
to appoyncte Courts to be kept vpon other dayes then in this order
are appoyncted."*

The first session of this Court in Essex County was held June
27, 1636, at Salem. With the continued increase of population
there came a demand for more frequent sessions of the Courts
and on June 2, 1641, the General Court established four quarter-
annual courts as follows : —

" Whereas it is desired by this Court to ease the countrey of all
unnecessary travells & charges, it is ordered, that there shalbee 4
Quarter Courts kept yearly by the ma*''^*^ of Ipswich & Salem, w*''
such others to bee ioyned in comission w*^"^ them as this Court shall
appoint, not hindering any other ma*''*** that will help them ; this
order to take effect after these next Quarter Courts shalbee ended
at Salem & Ipswich, two of these Quarter Courts to bee kept at
Salem & the other 2 at Ipswich, the first Court to bee kept the last
third day of the 7*'' month at Ipswich, (& the rest at the same time
the former Courts were), the next quarter at Salem, the 3"* q''ter at
Ipswich, the 4*'' at Salem, & the ma*"'"** of Ipswich & Salem to at-
tend every of these Courts, but no iurymen to bee warned from Ip-
swich to Salem, nor fro Salem to Ipswich ; to each of these places

a grand iury shalbee warned once a yeare, & these Courts to have
the same power, both in civill and criminall causes, the Court of
Assistants hath at Bostou, except tryalls for life, limbs or banishm*',
w*^"" are wholly reserved to Bostou Court ; provided, it shalbee law-
full to appeal from any of these Courts to Boston. And it shalbee
in the liberty of any plantitfe that hath an action of above one
hundred pounds principall debt to try his cause in any of these
Courts or at Boston ; the tines of these Courts to defray the charges
of the same, & the overplus to bee returned to the Treasurer for
the publique. And Sals berry & Hampton are ioyned to the iuris-
diction of Ipswich, & each of them to send a grand iuryman once
a yeare to Ipswich."*

Massachusetts Bay was divided into shires or counties by a law
passed May 10, 1643. The territorial limits of Essex County were
much as they are at the present time, save that all the towns lying
north of the Merrimack river were established as the county of
Norfolk, thereby including the towns of Haverhill and Salisbury.
Norfolk County was divided into two court jurisdictions, Dover
and Portsmouth forming the northern and the remaining towns the
southern.

The Quarterly Courts in the southern jurisdiction were held at
Salisbury and Hampton and the records of these sessions are in-
cluded in the following pages until Feb. 4, 1679-80 when the towns
of Haverhill, Amesbury and Salisbury were placed within the jur-
isdiction of the Essex County Courts.

These County Courts or Inferior Quarterly Courts had juris-
diction in civil and criminal cases except in cases of divorce and
crimes involving life, limb or banishment. They had power to
summon grand and petit jurors, to appoint their own clerks and
other necessary ofiEicers, to lay out highways, license ordinarys,
to see that a proper ministry was supported, to prove wills,
grant administrations and to have general control of matters in pro-
bate. In 1664, they were authorized to admit freemen. In general,
they had jurisdiction in all matters not reserved to the Court of
Assistants, which was the Court of Appeal. The writs, declara-
tions, and other pleadings, complaints, indictments, and course of
proceedings in the courts were simple, brief and informal. For the
first twenty years the testimony in a trial was written down by the

clerk of the court and became a part of the records in the case.
But in 1650, on account of " the inconuenience of takeiuge verball
testimonyes in Court by reason of many imptinencyes in theire
relations, so that the clarke cannott well make a pfit record there-
of "* it was ordered, that henceforth all testimony be given in writ-
ing to be attested in court if the witness lived within ten miles of
it, and before a magistrate, if the witness lived at a greater dis-
tance. These statements or depositions went to the jury who re-
turned them to the court with their verdict.

The records of the Essex County Quarterly Courts for the colonial
period (1636-1692) are now preserved in seventeen volumes. There
are also copies of Norfolk County records (southern jurisdiction),
in two volumes, made in 1852 by David Pulsifer. The originals
from which these copies were made are not in the custody of the
clerk at the present time and seem to have disappeared.

Supplementing the record books kept by the clerks of the courts
is a large collection of original papers consisting of presentments,
depositions upon almost every conceivable subject, correspondence
and documents of greatly varied character, deeds, \?ills, invento-
ries of estates, contracts, attested copies of records, papers con-
nected vt^ith the witchcraft trials, apprentices' indentures, inquests,
writs, executions, and papers of every kind connected with the
various cases. These papers or files, connected with the Salem and
Ipswich courts, are arranged and mounted in fifty-four folio vol-
umes and there are two volumes of papers relating to Norfolk
County. '* Waste books" or books of preliminary records were
kept by the clerks and when the entries were transcribed into the
books of permanent record, not infrequently a word or a phrase was
overlooked or omitted. Such omissions are here included within
brackets with proper indications as to their source.

The records and files are here printed in abstracted form, free
from needless verbiage, but every essential particular is retained so
that the historian, genealogist and sociologist may be assured that
nothing of value has been omitted. The subject matter in leaded
type above the line, is taken from the clerk's books of records.
That below the line, set in solid type, is found in the files. The
footnotes appear below. But little attempt has been made to eluci-
date the text or the obsolete spelling by means of footnotes, but
autograph signatures and seals are always noted. Names and words
are spelled exactly as they appear in the original records or files,
but they have been indexed under modern spelling when the mod-
ern form could be determined. Nearly all of the contractions used
appear in the original record and are easily understood.

In modernizing the early dates it should always be remembered
that previous to the adoption of the Gregorian calendar by Act of
Parliament to take effect Sept. 2, 1752, the month of March was

the first month in the year and " double-dating" prevailed between
Jan. Ist and March 24th inclusive, in each year, so that 21 :
12 mo : 1656-7, when modernized, should read Feb. 21, 1657.

Cordial acknowledgment is due to the Board of County Commis-
sioners for the County of Essex, who, appreciating the present and
future value of these records, have heartily co-operated by assum-
ing the larger part of the cost of abstracting. Thanks are also due
to Edward B. George, Esq., Clerk of Courts for Essex County, and
to his corps of assistants, for facilitating the progress of the work
in every way. The work of abstracting the frequently obscure
originals and of arranging the copy has been done by Miss Harriet
S. Tapley, but the final proofs have always received the careful in-
spection of Sidney Perley, Esq., who at all times has encouraged
and aided the work.

Prey, he often heard Prey call his wife jade and roundhead, and
curse her, wishing a plague and a pox on her, and especially after
Richard Prey came home from meeting last Lord's day, having
beaten her that day. He had heard Prey say that he would beat
her twenty times a day before she should be his master, and that
on the Monday following the Lord's day, Prey's wife going to put
on her waistcoat, stripped up the sleeve of her shift and said,
" Here are y* marks of y® blowes " that her husband had given
her, which were two great places black and blue. Also that Prey
said he had heard it reported at Mr. Leader's that he stayed at
home cursing and swearing at his wife, and the latter answered
that one need not go far to prove that, for Mrs. Elener heard him.
He answered " I beeleue y' yo" tould her," and she said " thiiike
soe still if yo" will, but did yo" not sware?" Then Prey took up
a long stick about the size of the great end of a bedstaff and said
to her, " Did I sweare. He tell yo" whether I did or noe," and with
that struck at his wife, but the deponent being present stepped in
and warded off the blow with his arm. Prey, seeing this, gave his
wife a kick, and kicked her against the wall. Also being at supper
one evening, one Thomas Wiggines spoke to Prey about cursing and
swearing upon a Lord's day when he and his wife stayed at home
from meeting. Pray answered that it was a lie, and his wife re-
minding him of his previous actions, Prey took his porridge dish
and threw it at her, hitting her upon the hand and wrist, so that
she feart-d her arm was broken. Some one present told Prey that
the court would not allow him to abuse his wife so, and he answered
that he did not care for the court and if the court hanged him for
it he would do it. It was said to him that the court would make
him care, for they had tamed as stout hearts as his, and Prey
answered that if ever he had trouble about abusing his wife, he
would cripple her and make her sit on a stool, and there he would
keep her. Sworn, 18 : 11 : 1647, before Rob. Bridges.§ Rich. Hood

•These are Norfolk County Court records. For several years Dover,
Portsmouth and Exeter had distinct and independent governments but on
Apr. 14, 1641, the two former were annexed to Massachusetts and in Sept.,
1642,, Exeter was admitted. On May 10, 1643, Massachusetts Bay was
divided into counties, and Dover, Exeter, Portsmouth, Hampton, Salisbury
and Haverhill were constituted the county of Norfolk. The territory now
comprising Amesbury, Merrimac, Salisbury, Haverhill, Methuen and the
northern part of Lawrence, included in this area, was set off in 1680 to
Essex County. The court had two jurisdictions and these are the records
of the southern, including Exeter, Hampton, Salisbury and Haverhill.
This court was held at Hampton and Salisbury. The records here printed
are abstracted from a copy of the original made in 1852 by David Pulsifer.
The original records have since disappeared.

*Jno. Chackswell deposed that last summer, about the time
Laurence Turner, who was under sentence of court, was about to
make an escape, he, being a sojourner at Turner's house, where he
had his food and lodging, saw Sarah Turner, wife of said Lawrence,
in a sporting way, throw water at one Tobias Saunders, who also
sojourned at said house. Saunders, who was looking in at the
window, ran into the house and took said Sarah in his arms and
assaulted her. Elizabeth Pinion, wife of Nich., came in to borrow
some "emptings,"* and he and Jno.Smith also assaulted her. Thomas
Billington came in from the forge in his shirt without his clothes,
and having his knife in his hand, eating some victuals, was thrown
on the others by Saunders, so that he was afraid the knife would
injure them. The deponent, being troubled, rebuked them saying,
" Heere is good doeings, take heed w' you doe," and went to an up-
per chamber, not countenancing their lascivious acts. When he
went out of doors he met Lawrence Turner coming toward his

was paid by the latter, and not by Major Sedgwake nor Mr. Hill.
James Browne testified that there was fetched from Goodman San-
dens in beer and provisions, 21i. 15s. 8d. at the weighing of the fish,
one half of which he paid for the Major and the other half was for

have his portlidge of Major Sedgwick, yet he refused it and had it
of John Deuericks in fish. James Browne testified that he " saw
John Deuerix deliver a board a vessell that to my beste remem-
brance was ould Groces w*''' m"' Edward Weathridge was in & that
m"" weatheridge tooke fishe from the stage m'' Hill beinge then pre-
sent." James Browne testified that although Mr. Maninge's boat
was entered on the Major's book, yet it was paid in fish by John
Deuerex, Mr. Maninge giving order to Mr. Moyses Mauerick to re-
ceive it, who would not have it paid to the Major but to Mr. Man-
ing's assignes. George Tucker testified that Mr. Hill was at Mun-
higon when John Deverex was in his employ, and that when Dev-

*Samuell Taylor testified that being at Goodman Armytayge's with
Master Norten when Goodman Johnson was there, the latter claimed
the bill was good, and Master Norten had him assign it. Then said
Goodman Norten " I haue anoufe, lett us be gone," and went pre-
sently away. Goodman Armytage was not in the room during this
discourse. John Hardman testified that being at the house of Jo-
seph Armitage when Mr. Willm. Norton of Ipswitch and Rich.
Johnson had a difference about some pay which Johnson was to
receive from Norton for a bill of exchange, Johnson wished his
pay to be delivered to him at Lynn and not to be obliged to go to
Ipswich for it. Norton answered that he had taken his bills of
exchange at an adventure and freed him of all further trouble
and he should be satisfied. Edward Burcham was present.
Sworn to 24 : 1 : 1650, before Rob. Bridges.* Edward Burchum
testified as to being asked to be present to make any wright-
inge that was necessary concerning a forty pound bill that Mr.
Norton had bought of Richard Johnson, which had been made
over to Richard Johnson by Abraham Froste. Mr. Norton said he
knew Mr. Gray. George Keyser deposed that he was desired by
Johnson of Lynn to speak with Mr. Norton, the Ipswich merchant,
concerning the terms upon which he would let said Norton have his
bills of exchange that he had charged upon one Mr. Gray, that he
could have them upon the same security that he had received them
but neither he nor his estate would be responsible. Norton replied
that he would give his answer when he saw the bills, and desired
him to bring them to next Ipswich court. Later the deponent met
Norton in the street, coming from Goodman Armitage's, and he told
deponent that he had agreed with Johnson upon the same security
that the latter had received, for he knew Mr. Gray very well, and
he would not lose anything in case the bills were not paid in Eng-
land. Sworn before Rob. Bridges,* 24: 1 : 1650.

Hand ; that he heard that Ralph Earle had sold an eighth part of
the barque, and Edward Hull said that two-thirds belonged to him,
whereupon said Earle was about to attach the barque, but an agree-
ment was reached. Sworn in court, 26 : 8 : 1653, before Increase
Nowell.*

Samuel Edsall also deposed that Ralph Earle bought the eighth
part of Samuell Comstock, and when there was talk of the bark
going to Boston, said Earle refused to allow it to go until he was
paid for his share, which was accordingly done, Edward Hull
paying him in wine and brandy, part of a butt of brandy, a hogs-

thirds of all the goods he took, one part for the vessel and another

Hand until they took the French prize at the same place and his
departure for England. Sworn, 17:8: 1653, before William Hib-
bens. Copy, attested by Increase Nowell.*

Robert and John Hull, owners of the bark Swallow, presented a
petition to the court, showing reasons for their being exempt from
paying for damage done by any person on board the bark. They
stated that the service she was engage in was wholly without their
consent or knowledge, and it was a continual trouble to them when
they heard of it ; that they received no benefit from it and would
not accept one penny for such service, but they showed their dis-
approval by letters to Edward Hull and "did endeavour to improve
all the interest wee had in him to gaine him from that imploym^by
Lett" & by message when any went into thess parts & espeascialy
when Capt. Jn° Leveret went, my father did intricate him ; in his
name to charge his sonn to come whom, and wee received Letters
From him sundry tymes, that if the Bay did not speedyly send
forth an army (w*" they there were in continuall expectation of)
hee would suddenly be at whom, that wee did every month Looke
for him to Returne." Their reasons for not protesting at the time
were as follows : That the law of the country did not provide for
such cases and the only information they had of Hull's actions
was by report ; that he told them that he was upon a design for the
good of the people of God aud of the English nation and for the
glory of God and that he had a commission for what he did from
the parliament of England ; that if they had protested against him,
" who was in such neare relation unto us," they would have lost
hope of seeing him or the vessel again, and they desired to have
both, " for if his kindred and neare relations should carrie it soe
unto him, it would have put him in dispaire of finding favour &
soe he would never returne;" that they had tried to have him leave
this employment, and if it had not been for their entreaties, he
would still be engaged in it; that they had no power in that juris-
diction to prevent him by law, and all their friends knew that it
was distasteful to them ; that they were not responsible for the
taking away of Sebauda's goods, any more than an honest man,
into whose house stolen goods were placed, could be held lesponsi-
ble if the said goods were taken out of his house and sold without
the owner's knowledge; that it was sufficient loss to them to lose
the profit of the bark a whole summer and that Capt. Sibada
"hath not acted according to the Rule of Righteousness to attach
the goods & to molest the persons of us that never did him any
injurie." ■^

meal and went away, and the miller said to deponent, after he had
discovered that they had gone, " Pray tell goody legg that heer is
some of her meale left behinde," which was about half a peck.

Mr. William Payne v. Robert Nash, Lt. Willm. Hudson and

one morning, and deponent being there also, he asked one of Good-
man Jacobs' household whose cattle they were and learned that
they were Goodman Fuller's. Late in the year he saw the same
cattle with " our" oxen in Goodman Jacobs' pasture and took notice
of the reddish brown hair on their backs and their brown ears.

John Lee testified that he recognized the heifer by the color,
and by her off ear, which had been frost-bitten, whereby a scale was
on that ear, making it shorter than the other. There was a dent
in the ear when the scale came off. This heifer had been daily in
his sight.

John Sheepard testified that this was the same heifer that John
Fuller brought to his master Jacobs, also that Goodman Cummins
went to " our house" one morning and asked if they had seen a
stray heifer. Cummins looked at this heifer and said it was not
his, and he was afraid the wolves had got his heifer.

John Avery testified that he, dwelling with Goodman Cumins
the last year, knew a brown yearling heifer which Isaac Cumins
said he bought of Mr. Simond's son. It was a dark brown heifer
with horns growing forward and the points of the horns turning
inward. It was marked on the under side of the off ear by a piece
cut out about two inches deep.

Matthew Whepple testified that he saw Goodman Cumins and
Goodman Starkwether and his man drive away the heifer from in
front of Goodman Fuller's barn, and the latter asked deponent to
bear witness to the same.

William Clarke testified that, living in John Fuller's house, the
latter had a brown heifer which he thought had been hurt and he
asked deponent to catch her that he might look at her. They found
a great scab on her off ear, and deponent asked what was the matter
with her, and Fuller replied that she was frost bitten. He further
testified that coming to the mill this winter, he met said Fuller and
the constable going to replevin this heifer and later in the day, on
his way home, saw them again with the heifer before them. She
knew the way home well enough because she kept a pace before
them, and the heifer that said deponent saw was the same heifer
that he helped John Fuller catch the winter before.

John Vargison deposed that this brown heifer was the heifer
that John Fuller brought to his master Jacobs, etc.

Umphrey Griff en testified as to the marks on the heifer.

340 SALISBURY QUARTERLY COURT [Apr.

Christian Davis deposed that Abraham Whittaker went into her
husband's yard when the heifer was there, in the winter before the
last Salisbury court, and she heard said Whittaker say that the
heifer was Robert Swan's ; also she heard Whittaker say that when
Robert Ames was at said Swan's house to have his deposition writ-
ten concerning the heifer, he was sleeping, and they would speak
now and then to him ; and that said Whittaker had said since the
court that the heifer was Swan's, and that he had probably incurred
the displeasure of some on account of his testimony, but was not
troubled about it. Sworn, Oct. 2, 1654, before Robert Clements.*

Roberd Clemand deposed that he took the mark of the heifer for
that of John Williames, jr., and that it was a slit in the right ear,
etc. Sworn, Oct. 2, 1654, before Robert Clements.*

Tho. Davis deposed that after last Salisbury court, having heard
a rumor that Abraham Whitacre was slandering Robert Swan, said
Whitacre went into his house and deponent warned him against
speaking such scandalous words. Whitacre replied that he was
troubled in his mind about the depositions of Robt. Ames and
Frances Swan, " askeing of him why, he answered y*' that the boye
was sleepeing w° the deposition was written but I am more trobled
about Frances Swan because she seemed to be uncertayne at her
first comeing yet after speech with hir brother swore positiue.
further this deponent presing upon him to take heed how he did
charge such things ags' Goodm Swan he replyed I know y' Swan
doe goe ag^^ his conscience to w°h I replyed take heed how canst
thou tell y* did he euer tell the soe but he continued to speak such
like words defameing him as I ap^'hended further sayeing to him I
heare y*' thou fiudest fait with thy owne oath he answered that w*h
he had sworne was true but he was at one thing because I did not
put in to my best knowledge but positively."

Richard Swan deposed that, living close by, he looked after Rob-
ert Swan's cattle, the latter being for the most part from home;
that he had known this heifer ever since she was a fortnight old,
and Robert Swan's wife and Francis Swan tended them formerly;
that Robert Swan gave it when a calf the same ear mark as depo-
nent's, and the latter looked after the cattle as carefully as if they
were his own ; that when the heifer was a year old and Robert went
to live at the river side, this little beast and another steer were not
fit to drive, so said Robert left them with deponent until the latter
end of May, and then they were driven up to the pasture ; that they
remained there about a quarter of a year, and upon coming back
to the town they stayed with deponent nearly until " Krisenmis,"
after which Robert took them home again to his house at the river
side ; that about the latter end of February, having had a beast
torn by the wolves, said Robert brought this heifer with others to

deponent, who kept themun til the latter end of April. Sworn
before Eic. Dumer.*

Writ : Robert Swan v. Henry Palmer, defamation, for saying
that plaintiff had gone very sinfully to work in getting the heifer
in controversy between John Williams, jr., and Robert Swan the
same day that the court broke up at Salisbury last spring ; also for
saying that he would not have done so for all the cattle in Haver-
hill, Hampton, Salisbury and Rowly, and that said Swan should
have considered that his deponent, Robert Ames, had a soul to save ;
also for going to said Swan's witness and influencing him so far as
to bring him to Mr. Clement to have him sworn, Swan urging and
provoking him to swear falsely concerning the heifer ; also for de-
faming him before twenty men at one time by saying that Swan
sinned, and upon being asked if he had dealt with Swan in a church
way, he answered that he did not need to, for it was a public of-
fence in the court ; dated Sept. 26, 1654. Signed by Richard Lit-
tlehale,* for the court.

Thomas Air deposed that he heard Robart Ames had been at Mr.
Clements to take oath, but he ran away and did not do it. Depo-
nent being at the house of William Willes afterward, he asked
Robert Ames if the heifer was Swan's and he answered that it was
not, but that the latter had a little heifer when he drove a plow for
him at Rowly which was very similar ; he thought this was John
Williams'. Ames further said that Swan said he must swear for
him, but that his master and dame would not let him. Sworn, Oct.
2, 1654, before Robert Clements.*

Richard Ormsbee deposed that after the trial, John Williams, sr.,
came to him and asked him to go and see whether the heifer in
controversy was the one he had kept in the dry herd for John
Williams ; that deponent went accordingly betime the next morn-
ing before people were stirring, so that no one should show the
beast to him, but to pick it out himself, and succeeded in finding
the right one ; that said Williams told deponent that he had
marked the right ear with a slit and a crop.

Robert Clements, jr., deposed that he heard James Pecker ask
Abraham Whittaker if he could swear that the heifer was Robert
Swan's, and he answered that he could not, and if any one so
declared, he lied. Also being with said Whittaker, after he had
taken his oath, the latter said he was troubled about what he had
done, and that he was influenced by Swan, as also were Robert
Ames and Francis Swan. Deponent told him to be silent and
keep it to himself as he had no desire to hear it. Joseph Davis
deposed the same, and was sworn, 21 : 12 : 1654, before Robert
Clements.*

Mary Pesle (also Peasely) deposed that John Williams inquired

♦Autograph,

342 SALISBURY QUARTERLY COURT [Apr.

of her about a heifer which he had lost and which had a white
spot on her flank; also that she asked Abraham Whittacre why he
took such an oath and he told her he had sworn to the truth ; that

she heard Goodwife say that the heifer in controversy was

old James Davis'. Sworn, Sept. 30, 1654, before Robert Clements.*

heifer of his son, John Williams, etc. Sworn, 20 : 12 : 1G54, be-
fore Robert Clements.*

Goodman Palmer and Robert Swan, Palmer said that he would not
have done what Swan did for all the cattle in Haverell and Salis-
bery, etc. Sworn, Feb. 23, 1654, before Daniel Denison.*

Neheraiah Abbott deposed that, being at John Haselltin's, he
heard Robert Swan ask Robert Ames if he did not know his heifer
which he had among his cows when he lived on that side the water ;
Ames answered that he did, and that she was kept at Goodman
Williams' yard on the other side of the water; also the same night
deponent was in Haverill with said Swan and Ames, and the latter
agreed, without any urging, to swear that the heifer was Swan's.
Dated the beginning of winter, 1653.

George Corley deposed that, being at George Browne's house the
last spring, the latter said that if he were John Williams, he would
have the case tried again ; also that Goodman Palmer said he told
Swan it should be tried again if he had to pay half the cost of it
himself. Sworn, 21 : 12 : 1654, before Robert Clements.*

Richard Littlehale deposed that Abraham Whittaker deposed be-
fore him that he bought the heifer of Robert Swan when he lived
at Rowly, and sold it to him again. Sworn, Oct. 2, 1654, before
Robert Clements.*

The following are some of the defamatory speeches which were
spoken by Abraham Whittaker against Robert Swan : That Rob-
ert Swan enticed Robert Ames to swear, notwithstanding his un-
willingness, saying, " Robin thou knowest this heifer to be mine
when shee was att Rowly," to which Ames replied that he thought
it was. Swan answered that thoughts would do no good, that he
must swear absolutely. Also that Whittaker said that Robert
Ames being asleep, Swan jogged him and said "thou must sweare
punctually or else all this will doe me no good, & then I will goe
w*** thee tomorrow, & M' Clements & I will gett thee of from thy
master, for he hath broken covenant w**^ thee, & I will sweare itt
att y® generall Court, wither thou wilt wittnesse for me or nott."
That Whittaker further said that Ames continued asleep and Swan
indicted his deposition, which he said Whittaker wrote, and that
when Swan further provoked Ames to swear, the latter cried ex-
ceedingly, saying that he dare not, for his master would almost

kill him. That the next morning after Swan had gained liis ends,
he neglected to go with Ames, and inveigled said Whittaker into
swearing falsely, etc. Copy of a writing which Robert Swan prof-
fered to Abraham Whittaker, attested by Richard Littlehale.*

Robert Hasselltyne deposed that he heard Henry Palmer of
Haverill say, etc. ; also that Palmer said that Swan would have
been convicted if deponent had not spoken in his behalf ; and that
Palmer further said, " he y*' iustifies the wicked & condemues the
iust both are abomination to the Lord," to which this deponent re-
plied " doe not acount a man wicked till you Pve him soe." Sworn,
23 : 12 : 1654, before Maj. Daniell Denison.*

Jane Willyams deposed that this heifer was the same that her
son, John Williams, marked, and that she came home constantly in
the summer time with the other cattle and lay in the yard and
about their door ; also that this heifer never went with the cow
that Robert Swann sold to Robert Clemans. Sworn, Oct. 1, 1654,
before Robert Clements.*

The following names were subscribed to a paper objecting to the
testimony given by Robert Swan's witnesses, complaining that

unwilling to take it " so large," but her brother told her she could
safely do it. Sworn, Sept. 29, 1654, before Robert Clements.*

Joseph Daves deposed that he knew the heifer that John Wil-
liams, jr., lost in 1652, etc. Sworn, Oct. 2, 1654, before Robert
Clements.*

Robert Ames' confession : That the first knowledge he had of
the heifer was the beginning of winter, when Robert Swann brought
him this heifer to keep, and she had very short horns for her age,
which was about a year ; that Swan went to him many times and
asked him to testify for him that the heifer John Willyams laid
claim to was Swan's first, when he was keeping swine ; that he
urged this once on a Sabbath day at meeting time, once at town
meeting at Haverill, and again when he had been at Goodman
Palmer's to borrow a wheel, but he put him off, and told him that
he thought the heifer was John Williams', because it was similar to
Williams' cow ; that he asked Swan why he followed him up and
why he did not go to his master or to his cousin Hayesultins, as
they knew the heifer as well as he ; that Swan further told him that
his father Swann, his father Asy and his brother Asy would wit-

ness for him and asked why he would not ; that at another time
Swan told him that if he would testify, that said Swan would
swear that his master had broken his covenant, for the latter had
neither taught him his trade, nor to read and write, and that he had
not proper diet, clothing nor lodging, and if he complained to the
General Court, Swan would testify for him and the court would
free him from his master ; that afterwards his master chided
him and the persuasion of Swan's moved him to complain
of his master to Mr. Clemens, and, as he was going there, he met
Abram Whitaker, who urged him to go to Swan's that night, which
he did, and swore to what Whiteker wrote. Sworn before Robt.

less than 81i. This 81i. disbursed in England according to mer-
chants' account, the adventure of his person considered, could not
be here worth less than 151i. or 161i., and 161i., for a boy of thir-
teen years of age to be laid out here for ten years' service cannot

her father's children there were living, and seemed anxious that
they should receive the money. She told him there were six for
all she knew, and he said that there would be 501i. coming to her

being her grandmother's eldest son and liable to inherit all the
property. Signed by Mary Bridges.* Sworn, 26 : 1 : 1655, before
Eob Bridges* and Edw. Rawson,* secretary.

Declaration of Robert Bridges,* attorney for the plaintiff: That
Mr. William Woodcocke was a merchant, late of Loudon, and
Capt. William Tinge was late of Boston, and that in or about 1638
said William Woodcocke made an adventure in partnership with
Capt. Willm. Tinge in the ship Expedition to the Barbadoes, to
whom Mr. Woodcocke committed the whole management of the
voyage. The latter neglected, so far as anything could be found
in any of his books, to charge Capt. Tinge with his half share,
having full confidence in the fidelity and godliness of said Tinge to
give a just account at all times. Mr. Woodcocke died Oct. 8 or
11, 1638, before a settlement was made, and his accounts were left
in much confusion, but it was found that among the creditors was his

In answer, the defence stated that the only evidence of the debt
was Capt. Ting's books, and since he was dead there was no one
who could explain them ; furthermore there were some of the court
who openly opposed such a precedent as allowing the books to be
brought in as evidence ; that these accounts were imperfect as well
as others in the books ; that credit for the voyage was made on
May 18, 1839, and Mr. Woodcocke was to give Capt. Tinge an ac-
count of provisions left and one half was to go to the latter, as per
note in Mr. Crudeck's hand, etc.
