PERSONALLY appeared before me,
A. Faw, one of the Justices OF Peace for
said County, Phineas Janney, who having
affirmed, deposeth and saith, in the trans
actions between the Richardson's * Tho
mas w. Peyton, as tc the purchase OF
the rum, he has no knowledge, but WAS
informed, by I. w. Peyton, he had sold
quantity of bacon to them, the Richard
sons, and they also, in conversati n, told
this deponent they had bought quantity
of bacon of T. w. Peyton, and that it
was hard bargain. L. w. Peyton, in
the store of this deponent, told hun tie
Richardson's had agreed TO give up the
barrel of rum he had purchased to release
them from the bacon contract, and made
calculation what deduction the price Of
the rum would make on the price OF the
bacon, and supposed it would be about
cents per ID. From the Richardson's he
had no information except about the pur-
chase of the bacon. T. w. Peyton said,
when they came for the bacon, he refused
to let them cut it to examine, and other
wise they would not receive 1t unless they
were permitted to examine it their way,
and that they might examine it any other
wav, but not TO cut it--and further this
den ,nent saith not
PaINEAS JANNEY.
