Oath that he verily believes the Apparation made to the Court by the Petitioner

touching the Party Wall between the Deponents
<
obscured

</
obscured

and the Petitioners house
<

</

<

occassioned by an Agreement that has been lately made between the Petitioner and
<

</
lb

Mr Looni for building of a new house to be adjoining to the said house of this Deponent
<
lb
>
</
lb

and within View of Gaining (if he can prevail in Getting an Order for pulling down
<
lb

</
lb

this Deponents Wall) a Considerable Number of Fleet to the Enlaseying the Petitioners
<
lb

</

house and not out of any Apprehension of the said walls being ruinous or ready to full
<
lb
>
</
lb

And this Deponent is in
<
obscured
>
</
obscured
>
so to believe because this Deponent has at the Request
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of the Petitions met the said Petitioner Three severall times touching the said party
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Wall at one of which times the Petitioner to let this Deponent that the Persons who
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
were to build his house had signed Articles with him a net that he could oblidge them
<
lb
>
</
lb

to perform their Articles with him, which he said could not be done without pulling
<
lb
>
</
lb

down the said Party Wall or used Words to that Effect and he further said that by pulling
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
down the said Wall he should Gain a Considerable Addition of Ground the old Wall
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
being as he said, above Thirty Inches Thick and by the Act of Parliament they
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
were not Obliged to make the new Wall above Eighteen, and he proposed to have what
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Ground worth be Gained thereby entirely on his Side, and this Deponent further
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Saith that upon Enquiry and Examination made by Surveyors that have been since
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Employed by the Deponent to Survey the said Wall the same is from the Foundation
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
thereof to about a Yard high (as this Deponent has been informed by the said
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Surveyors and easily believes) above Fifty Inches Thick: And from thence Four
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Foot higher; the same is about Forty three Inches Thicks and from thence to the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
<
obscured
>
</
obscured
>
of the next stairs is Two Bricks Thick; And this Deponent dues verily believe
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
from the Information of the said Surveyors that the said Wall is very Substantiall
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and would stand for a Great Number of Years for which Reason this Deponent
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
does verily believe the Petitioners Application to this Court does proceed from the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
above mentioned Justises and no other. And this Deponent saith that he
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
neither directly or indirectly ever influenced or endeavoured to influence or
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
requested the Surveyors appointed by this Deponent to Survey the said Wall with the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Petitioners Surveyors not to sign any Certificate touching their Judgment and
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Opinion of the said Wall And this Deponent verily believes that they never did
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
refuse to sign a Certificate but only the Certificate as Drawer by the Petitioners
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Surveyors, which they refused as this Deponent believes, because it was Contrary to
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
their Judgment and from other Reason whatsoever And this Deponent further saith that
<
lb

</
lb

he had no notice of the second Appointment Given by the Petitioner till Saturday the
