Oliver Purchis,* aged about sixty-four years, testified that Mr. William Payne, merchant in Boston, deceased, became an owner in Feb., 1657, when the forge and furnace were in a run down condition. There was a good stock of sows and Payne received in 1658, 77 Ton 9 C bar iron while Major Thomas Savage had but 28 C 1 qr. 20li. Deponent was ordered by Payne and Mr. Hutchinson not to send to Savage because he had received more than his part. Payne died in 1660, having received 131 Ton 13 C 1 qr. 8li., and afterward his son Mr. John Payne had his father's right and from that time to 1665 received 110 Ton 1 C 3 qr. 16 li. of bar iron. But his estate failing, the Iron works went to ruin, which deponent, as agent, repaired, and became much indebted which he always judged Payne's estate should have paid. The works depreciated daily and Mr. Jno. Payne was not able to supply or repair nor to pay him his salary. The works as they now are are of no great value. Sworn in court.
Oliver Purchis, aged about sixty-four years, testified that he was clerk of the old Ironworks at Lyn when Capt.
