Deponent said she came to her on an affair that was very

</

particular, that the Neighbours had missed her maid for a

</

supprized to see her delivered of her burthen, Deponent

</

she said, she had Miscarried, Deponent said she could not

</

beleive that, for that she thought she had gone her full

<
lb

</
lb

take her Oath she was only about four or five Months gone
<
lb

</

and it was nothing but a Miscarriage. Then Mrs. Marsh

said her maid went to Bed with the young Woman in the
