(a) I John Walker of Bighton in the County of Bristol, do make affidavit & say, that I was present when a contract was made between Nathan Ide & Nathan Ide Jr. for the purchase by said Ide Jr. of the real estate which was there afterwards conveyed to said said Ide Jr. by Deed, to the execution of which I was a witness, and is marked (a). It appeared that said Nathan Ide was indebted to his son, Nathan Ide Jr. in the sum of one hundred and twenty five dollars, for which he held his father's note. Said Ide was poor & unable to pay his son in other way than by the conveyance of said real estate, which on account of his infirmities, was of very little productive value to him. Upon the completion of the sale the one hundred and twenty five dollar note was given up, and a note given by Ide Jr. to his father

for the balance of the purchase money which was one hundred dollars. The sum given, to wit, two hundred & twenty five dollars, I deem a full & adequate consideration. And I have no doubt, from every thing which I saw at the time of the sale, that it was a real, honest, fair, bona fide, transaction — Said I do so ever since the sale aforesaid been in the occupation of said estate, improved the same and been taxed for it, and I never had myself any doubt, nor did I ever hear any doubt expressed by any of my neighbours, or others, that the said sale was what I have above stated it to be —
