I George Hubbard of Lebanon in the District of New- Hampshire do depose and declare that I am a citizen of the United States of America.

I Elias Lyman of Hartford in the State of Vermont to testify that for thirty years last past I have been acquainted with George Hubbard, a pensioner, & with his family, & have during nearly all that time, lived very near to said Hubbard; that for the last twenty five or twenty six years, the wife of said Hubbard has been an invalid, & so sick as to be wholly unable to labour and to need nursing nearly all that time, & the very frequent attendance of a physician - and that she still continues in that situation. I further say that I have no interest whatever in the worth of said Hubbard's pension being continued to him -

I Phinehas Parkhurst of Lebanon in the State of New Hampshire do testify that for the term of eleven years last past, I have been employed & attended, as the family physician of George Hubbard of said Lebanon, a pensioner, that during that time the wife of said Hubbard has been constantly very ill; & nearly all that time so sick as to require nursing  nursery & the frequent attendance of a physician; she had for seven or eight years what is termed a uterine hemorrhage - this was constant, & so debilitated her constitution, as not only to disqualify her to labour, but rendered her a subject for constant nursing, & frequent medical administration - I further say that there is no probability that she will ever be restored to health, though she may live many years; if she does, it is very likely she will need the same attentions of the nurse & physician, while she lives - I further say that I have no interest whatever in the worth of said Hubbard's pension being continued to him -
