nd told him of it at Mannatos, for
which he was blamed, and told he had not layde it to heart as he ought.
But Sarah Tuttle replied, that shee did not kysse him. Mr Tuttle
replied, that Marian hath denied it, and he doth not looke upon her as a
competent witness. Thomas Tuttle said, that he asked Marian if his
sister kyssed Jacob, and she said not. Moses Mansfield testified, that
he told Jacob Murline that he heard Sarah kyssed him, but he denied it.
But Jacob graunted not what Moses testified.

"Mr Tuttle pleaded that Jacob had endeavoured to steal away his
daughter's affections. But Sarah being asked, if Jacob had inveigled
her, she said no. Thomas Tuttle said, that he came to their house two

for Marian, who was a married woman, to suffer her brother and a man's
daughter to sit almost half an hour in such a way as they have related,
was a very great evil. She was told that she should have showed her
indignation against it, and have told her mother, that Sarah might have
been shut out of doors. Mrs Murline was told, that she, hearing such
words, should not have suffered it. Mrs Tuttle and Mrs Murline being
asked if they had any more to say, they said, no.

"Whereupon the Court declared, that we have heard in the publique
ministry, that it is a thing to be lamented, that young people should
