LINGAN v. HENDERSON.—1 BLAND. 229

derson considered himself in debt for the purchase money of said
land?

Answer. That he lived a near neighbor to Mr. Henderson, and
was very intimate with him, meeting him generally two or three
times a week, when this deponent was in the neighborhood; that
Mr. Henderson was in the habit of making full and free communi-
cations with this deponent relative to his affairs; they had fre-
quent conversations relative to said purchase. This deponent
always understood from Mr. Henderson, that said land was not
paid for, and that he, Mr. flenderson, would not be able to pay
for said land. This deponent never understood from Mr. Hender-
sou, that he claimed any thing from General Lingan, except what
he, General Lingan, might receive from his, Mr. Henderson7s
father's estate.

4th Interr. Did you or did you not hear Mr. Henderson state
any thing as coming to him from the mill, which he and General
Lingan held in partnership; if yea, state the same, and when the
partnership in said mill was at an end?

Answer. That he understood the partnership in the mill ceased,
when General Lingan moved to Montgomery County, which was
about the time Mr. Henderson went to live on the farm purchased
of General Lingan. The proportion of the profits to which Mr.
Henderson was entitled as partner in the mill, this deponent does
not know; he is under the impression, from his own observation,
and to the best of his recollection from conversations, that Mr.
Henderson told him the mill had made little or nothing, and that
little or no profits accrued from the partnership.

5th Interr. Did you or did you not hear Mr. Henderson state,
that he had purchased property for his own use, out of the part-
nership funds of the said mill; if yea, state what''.

Answer, That he understood from Mr. Henderson, that he pur-
chased a negro woman and child from the partnership fund.

6th Interr. Were you acquainted with the hand-writing of Mr.
Hendersoni, and have you seen him write; if yea, state whether
the paper now shewn to you marked A is in the hand-writing, and
the signature thereto in the hand-writing of John Henderson ?

Ansicer. That the paper marked A, (the writing of the 10th
June, 1807, set forth in the bill,) now shown to him is in the hand-
writing* of John Henderson, and that he has seen the said
John Henderson write, and knows his hand-writing.

7th Interr. Do you or do you not know whether Mr. Henderson
drew his support for himself and family during his residence at
the mill, and during the continuance of the partnership above-
mentioned from the partnership property ?

Ansswer. That he believes he did; except, that he has heard
Mr. and Mrs. Henderson say, that the father and mother of Mrs.
Henderson had frequently sent them supplies of provisions.
