next Door for Assistance, desiring him to come for she was
afraid something had happened to Mr. Reeves the Deced as should
not be for she laid all in a heap with something of a
Ribband about her Neck Mr. Mallard and some other Person
and Deponent went up, and Deponent saw the Deced with
a Ribband roundler Neck but was so much frightened that

has observed her to be Melancholly, Deponent has asked her about
