Bill of costs for the selectmen of Ipswich, 17s.

Tho. Lovell deposed that he and Ensinne Howlett were chosen by the selectmen of Ipswich to run the line with Wenham men in 1669, and they ran it till they came to a swamp against Edmund Patch's house where they could not well get over the swamp. There was but one tree more that had been marked at the first agreement on the other side of the swamp. Said Patch told them that he knew where the bound tree was on the other side of his swamp by the meadow side. Ensigne Howlett knew the tree and said that he with Mr. Cunnant marked that tree above twenty years ago when they made the agreement first with Salem men. Then with Wenham men they ran the line two miles further eastward. The seven trees felled which were now in controversy are within Ipswich bounds, some forty and some twenty rods from the line. Tho. Howlet, Nicolas Marble and Cornelias Kent deposed the same. Sworn, June 28 1670 before Daniel Denison. [Continues briefly.]
