  	James and Sarah Lewis had obtained from Capt. Bradhurst (a justice) a warrant against Robert Slocum, who had borrowed their saddle and saddle cloth. After they swore to the items, Maj. George Parker gave a judgment ordering Slocum to return the saddle and saddle cloth.

  	The following two entries were recorded 18 September 1710: James Lewis complained to John Bradhurst that Robert Slocumb borrowed a new man's saddle from James' wife "in the time of her widdowhood about October last past and that he refused to returne the same." Bradhurst issued a precept to Constable John Barnes, Jr., to arrest Slocumb and bring him before a justice. Signed 17 July 1710, by John Bradhurst. The order was executed by Barnes. On 25 July 1710, Robert Slocum came before Geo. Parker to answer the above complaint; Sarah, the wife of James Lewis, swore that the saddle was her own and that she lent it to Robert Slocum with a saddle cloth. Parker ordered Slocum to return the items. Robert Slocum appealed to the second day of the next court.
