Personally appeared before me. a Justice of the

jr. who being duly sworn, says that he never at
any time sold tiny land to Samuel Sturgeon, of
Plum Creek township, ni said county, nor does he
believe that any person of the name of Fiscus, a
resident of the said township ever sold any land
lying in the same township, to Samuel Sturgeon,'
but some time in 1818 fie entered into a contract
with Robert sturgeon, and sold to him about-one
hundred acres of land,lin. the neighborhood -of
Middletown, in saidcouhty, and made him added
for the same. , That- he gave the said. Robert the
possession of the, land,: aodthe said. Robert still
continues to occupy the same. That he has been
well acquainted with Samuel Sturgeon for the last
twenty years, and that he never knew him to pur
chase any land from am man by the name -Of Ft&
ens during that Mime.
