My testemony was that mrs Foster on the 19
of august Complaind to me that Shee had Shee had
receivd great abuses from people unknown to her, Such as throwing
Stones at her house, Striveing to get in to ye
& lodg with her. after relating those abuses Said that was not the
worst Shee had met with Since mr Fosters absence, but Shee hoped they
would not quite kill her, that they Could do nothing wors than they
had unless they killd her. Shee also Said that Said North had abused
her wors than any other person in the world had, but Shee believd
it was best for her to keep her troubles to her Selfe as mutch as
Shee Could till her Husband returnd which Shee hopt wd
be soon. Shee also Complaind on the 25 (if I remember the day aright)
of said Norths treating her wors than any other person had & Said
he did go after an other woman besids his own wife, & that his wife
was jellous of him relating to the Chargs She now Lais. Shee Seemd
Exceedingly troubled when Shee related her tryals, but not being aust
any question for information did not descend to particulars at that
time, which was the last time I Converst with her while her Husband
was absent. |
