Re: Testimony of Sarah Newell of Lawfull Age Testified to with that same time, about or near the beginning of September left Margaret the wife of Samuel Brockaway came to my house & upon being enquired of as why she came from home, & desired to return, Agnes she utterly refused that, saying she never would live with Mr. Brockaway again. The next day Mr. Brockaway came to my house & asked her to go home with him which she utterly refused, & soon seemed to fall into a fit (crying out concerning her husband take him out of my presence). Though she could not be persuaded to go with him, after some time in night I persuaded him to go to Margaret's house, & lodged & came again in the morning to which she confessed, went away as long as he was in the house she appeared to be in a horrible fit or raving distracted. As soon as he is back, way was gone but she appeared to be well. Rather is she gone—says she with an air of triumph & victory. To this deceit & hypocrisy to my satisfaction appeared in her repeatedly while at my house. When going away further she did appear to be very cross & contrary to everybody where she was at "my house." She also did say while she was at my house she would not live there with that regard that you have got there but while the reason she gave why she would not go home was because she could not & would not live with her husband.
