Deponent was in his company where there were others merrily disposed and Row desired John Hollande to go and persuade his wife to come and he would go and bring Holland's wife. Rowe by force took Holland's wife out of her bed and brought her into the company, and deponent and some others of the company saluted William Row's wife, she being a stranger, upon which Rowe showed much dissatis- faction for some days after, which much troubled his wife. Rowe was very jealous of her if any man showed respect to her, came to his house or kissed her. Sworn, Sept. 19, 1673, before Peter Twisden,* commissioner.

Edward Nealand, aged thirty years, testified that he lived at Mr. Hubbert's long before and after Sarah Roe was married and that she would rather be in Leigh's company than Roe's. One night when Roe came to see her, she would not let him in, but stayed in the house with deponent and John Leigh. Some of Mr. Wade's family told deponent the next day that William Roe walked all that night in Mr. Hubberts' orchard. After Sarah was published to Row, deponent saw a letter which she had written to send to him telling him not to come any more to her, for she could never marry him. Also at a meeting at Giles Coes' house, where Sarah and Roe were with a merry company, she told deponent that Roe was a silly cur and she could not endure him, and three or four days after, she seemed to be much troubled and said that her husband was the most clownish block- head fellow she ever saw, and was so jealous that she thought she should never abide him. The day before her marriage, deponent told her that he was bade to invite John Leigh to her wedding, but she desired not to do so, for if Leigh were there she should not be able to take Willm. Roe. Later when deponent went to talk with her about what he had heard concerning her treatment of her husband, she told him how Roe had behaved, and asked deponent how a woman could love a man who carried himself as he did. Sworn in court.
Sarah Row, aged about twenty years, deposed that "after I was published to the sd. Row I recanted in my own minde & soon after would haue broken of the marriage with him, but for feare of displeasing my parents & to that end I got a young maide that liued in the house with mee to write a letter to him to desire him to come noe more to mee, because I founde I could not loue him; but my Father would not let mee send it.
