She has been married to her husband near eleven years. And that her husband has treated her very unkindly from the first of their marriage and has led an idle life neglecting his work and spending the greatest part of his earnings in drinking and then did beat this informant and threaten her to oblige her to supply him with money. And upon her complaining that his ill usage often made her weary of her life, he would tell her she might hang herself and that would put an end to her troubles. And that within half a year last past he has continually beaten and abused her and threatened to murder her, so that she is in fear he will murder or do her some great mischief, he having taken a knife in his hand many times and swore he would kill, which have obliged her to run out of the house to avoid him and do believe if she had stayed that he would have stabbed her.
