has been ill of an Asthmatic Complaint three years
past-That the deced and Dept. has been very intimate
acquaintances the whole time-That this week past

and behaviour that he appeared very melancholy and

asked him any question he did not give proper [..] on apt
answers and seemed to shun Dept. notwithstanding [..]
he and the deced had been intimate so long which Dept

tha he verily believes the deced to have been deranged
this Week past.
