ye Lord brings him forth, & ye grand Jury had cognissance of his Impious behavior towards me & by theire act is he now presented & it is but rationall that I should speake something before yor worships for ye clearing up of myne owne Innocency, & also since ye Thing is brought forth to lay open my grievances before you althouth god knowes my mind was rather to haue borne my affection & haue waited upon him who is ye per- swader of ye heart, with my poor prayers to my good god in hopes of ye worke of his grace upon his heart & soule; whereby he might be brought to see ye evill of his wayes & so to carry it to me as becomes an honest man to his wife; but ye Lord in mercy Looke upon me; I am now past hopes of him; & ye onely wise god direct you what to doe with me in this my wofull case, for I am not onely continually abused by my husband, with most vile, threatening & opprobrious speeches but also his son who liues in howse with him hath in his Father's presence threatened me to throw me downe head long downe ye staires; & not onely so but he hath broken up my chest & taken away a part of that Little wch I had."
Deborah Winter, aged about thirty-one years, testified that she had heard Edmond Berry use very reproachful terms to his wife, as bad as possibly could be spoken and when she was sick he would also then most terribly revile her. He had said that he desired it for her good and he did not care if there were a fire in the south field and she in the middle of it. Sworn in court.
Abigail White, aged about seventy-two years, testified that Berry called his wife Jezebell, cheating rogue, etc., and told her that he could not abide her, and bade her begone. Also that his wife had proffered to do what she could for him, such as to dress his victuals, wind his quills, etc., and she would entreat him to be quiet, but he was angry because she would not join her estate to his. Also when she was sick, he said that she should have nothing of him because he had nothing of hers. Deponent had tried to persuade him to live quietly with his wife but he said it was too late. Sworn in court.
Abigail Gray, aged about twenty-one years, deposed that when his wife was sick in bed and the nurse at the same time was in bed with her, Goodman Berry asked for cider. The nurse said that she would rise and get him some. Goody Berry said he had had enough already, and he replied that he would have some more or he would pull her in pieces. Sworn in court.

Upon complaint by Mrs. Elizabeth King against John Blano, her son-in-law, who had with him several children, the grandchildren of said Elizabeth. The said children hav- ing had, by will of their grandfather King, a farm left them, which was then in the possession of said Blanoe, their father, under whose care the children suffered very much for want of food and raiment and the land for care, court appointed Elizabeth King, Daniell King, Ralph King and Ezekiell Needham as guardians of the children .*

*Warrant, dated 29 : 4 : 1677, signed by Hilliard Veren, t cleric, and served by Edward Richards,t deputy for Henery Skerry, t marshal of Salem.
Petition of Elizabeth, widow of Daniell King: that said Daniell left by will a house and considerable land to his daugh- ter Hanah, wife of John Blaine, and the latter finding that he was not mentioned desired her husband to give him a right in it for life, but it was denied him. It was provided that if Blaine had the use of it he was to pay 10li. per year to herself and husband as long as they lived, which was about five years ago, and they had never received anything. That she should be relieved from the support of the motherless children and that they should have the benefit of the estate left them, etc.
Jno. Blanye'st petition: that he had received a warrant to answer for not providing for his children according to an engagement to court, but he did not remember any such thing, "but I hoape I doe not, nor never shall Forgett that god and nature requyres the uttmost of my endeavours in that respect," and he had provided according to his ability, etc.
Sarah Bartrom, aged about fifty-six years, and Elizabeth Fisk, aged about twenty-three years, testified that about four or five months since, Mistress King being informed of the suffering condition of Hanah, daughter of Hannah Blaine, sent for the child and it was so piteously clothed that it was almost naked. Further that it was covered with vermin, which had eaten into its skin, so that the child would not have lived long. Sworn in court.
Elizabeth Redden, aged about twenty years, deposed that about three months since, Elizabeth, daughter of John Blayne, who was about three years and a half old, was brought from said Blayne's to deponent's house. She was almost naked,

Mark Graves, aged about fifty-five years, and Elizabeth, his wife, aged about thirty-seven years, deposed that since Hannah, wife of Mr. John Blaine died, said Blaine and six of his children came from Mr. Ralph King's to dwell at the farmhouse where deponents and they lived under one roof. When the children came they were decently clothed, but during the three quarters of a year that they lived there, he did not provide for them and they suffered very much and had it not been for their friends through pity taking some of them from him and relieving them, they might have perished. They suffered both for food and raiment and what money Blaine received for wood or timber or for the work of his team was spent in drink, he coming home late at night in a quarrel- some mood and distempered with drink. He had only one cow to provide for the family, etc. Amy, daughter of Mark Graves, aged about seventeen years, deposed the same. Sworn in court.
