December II, 1773.


Chester County, s.s.


THIS eleventh day of December, A. D. 1773, ap- peared Ephraim Lloyd, of Lower Penn's Neck, in the county of Salem, Farmer, and made oath, That he is well acquainted with Samuel Oakford, of Salem town, Shallop-man, for several years, and that the man, now before me, is the said Samuel Oakford of Salem afore- said, and he knows of no other person of that name, Shallop-man, whatsoever, &c.


EPHRAIM LLOYD.


Sworn the day and year aforesaid, before RICHARD RILEY.


THIS may inform whom it may concern, That some time past, a certain person (name forgot) made oath be- fore me respecting some contraband goods being taken out of a brigantine, near Newcastle, by Robert Moulder's shallop, which person was brought before me, (with his deposition already drawn up) by a certain Richard Swanwick, Captain of the Custom-House Boat, which person was then unknown to me, having never seen him before nor since to my knowledge; but he called himself


145


NEWSPAPER EXTRACTS.


1773]


a Shallop-man, out of Salem, and I do not remember his name,-but I. am certain that the man now sworn to be Samuel Oakford, by Ephraim Lloyd, is not the person that made the oath respecting the contraband goods as aforesaid, as that man was considerably less in stature, with sore eyes, and he made his mark to the deposition : There appears such a manifest difference between the man that made the oath as aforesaid, and the man that Mr. Lloyd has made oath to be Samuel Oakford, that removes every doubt from me, and that he, the said Samuel Oakford, as proved aforesaid, is not the man that made such deposition as aforesaid.

and other fruit trees, about 50 acres of cleared land; the place is very convenient for raising a large stock, as there is a great quantity of salt marsh, and a swamp, contain- ing about 100 acres, that will make very good meadow, and may be cleared and drained at a small expence, as it has been in part done already: likewise a large outlet for cattle in the summer season; this tract contains about 1000 acres.

WHEREAS the Subscriber did on the 23 day of No- vember 1773, purchase from a certain John Chambers of Hunterdon county, West New-Jersey, (Shoemaker, ) a small tenement containing two acres of land, with a double logg-house at the price of Eighteen Pounds, for which he the Subscriber did execute two Bills, (that is) for Nine Pounds each, the one due at six months end, and the other at twelve months end. And the said John Chambers on his part, did covenant and agree, to make a good and sufficient Deed to me the said Subscriber, for the premises. at the payment of the first Bill. And whereas it appears, the original Deed for the premises is now in the hands of Joseph Beavers, Esq; as also an actual conveyance from the said Chambers to said Beavers, for said premises, which makes it doubtful, how the purchaser can have justice done him, agreeable to bar- gain. These are therefore to forewarn all persons what- soever, from taking an assignment of the said Bills, as I am determined not to pay the money to any person, untill the consideration for which the said Bills were given, be performed to me. And which I think most reasonable to dispute with Chambers himself. Given under my hand this 2d day of December, 1773. JOHN POLEN.
