IN CHANCERY .-
Moses Wicks a Witness produced Sworn and examined on Direct Interrogatories to him Administered and filed in a certain cause pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of New York wherein William Nicoll an infant by Selah Strong and Richard Udall his Guardians, is Com- plainant and the Trustees of the Freeholders of the Town of Huntington Timothy Conkling Phineas Carll, John Oakley and others are Defendants on the part of the said Defendants deposeth as follows viz .:
To the first Interrogatory this Deponent saith that he is in the Sixty Seventh year of his age, is a farmer and re- sides in Smith Town in the County of Suffolk.
To the Seventeenth Interrogatory This deponent Saith that he Knows the Gut or Inlet in question and has been acquainted with it as long almost as he can remember.
238
HUNTINGTON TOWN RECORDS.
That when he first knew it it was pretty generally called the Great Gut and at other times it was called Huntington East Gut, and by some Nicoll's Gut, while others have al- ways called it Fire Island Gut, which is its present Name.
To the Eighteenth Interrogatory this Deponent saith that he has Known the beach in question ever since he was a boy, and has also been acquainted with the Different Guts or Water Passages which have from time to time been made by the force of the Ocean thro' the same Beach and to the Westward of the aforesaid Fire Island Inlet, that the first of the said Guts, which he remembers tho' the same was between Cedar Island and Oak Island another small one was between Oak Island Cap Tree Island, after- wards another small one broke through nearly opposite Fox Creek in Cedar Island, and that the Gut called Gilgo Gut or Sand Point and by some called Huntington West Gut has been in Existence as long as he can remember, but all the said Guts between Fire Island Inlet and Gilgo Gut have since been closed up by the Sand thrown in by the ocean and no traces of them remain, but this deponent does not recollect the time when the said Guts disappeared tho' he thinks it was near to the close of the War.
To the Nineteenth Interrogatory this deponent saith that the first Gut or passage to the Westward of the said Cap Tree Oak and Grass Islands was between Oak Island and Cedar Island as above mentioned. That the Beach between the said Gut and Oak Island was high and Hilly but intersected with Sand Vallies through which the Wind blew and drove away the sand and grass so as to prepare a passage for the Surf in the time of violent Storms and high floods, and further that within his recollection Shrubs cedars wild Plumb and cherry Trees grew upon the said Beach near where the said Gut last mentioned broke through and rather to the Westward of Oak Island and some nearly opposite.
239
HUNTINGTON TOWN RECORDS.
To the Twentieth Interrogatory this Deponent Saith that he Knew Caleb and Epenetus Wood who followed Whaling on the South side of Long Island many years ago when this deponent was a lad. That they had a Whale House on the said Beach near where the said Gut after- wards broke through of which this deponent has spoken in his answer to the last preceeding Interrogatory at which time the said Beach was solid and entire from the said Gilgo Gut to the aforesaid Fire Island Inlet without being interrupted or Separated by any intermediate Gut or water Passage, which fact this deponent Knows of his own Knowledge having frequently Traversed the said Beach from one end to the other, when it was customary to keep horses thereon,
To the Twenty first Interrogatory This deponent Saith that the aforesaid Gut called Gilgo Gut was formerly called Huntington West Gut, and fire Island Gut was called Huntington East Gut, and that this has been the case as long as he can remember, and that when he was a young man he remembers to have heard his father call and distinguish them by the same Names. To the last and to the rest of the Interrogatories he cannot Depose.
