the name of Hen Woods and ye 42d upon ye name of John Croughan in the settinge booke included in ye quarterland in ye treene of Arikorkill is Intacke or 
Quarterland; first we finde that it is intacke by the lease of the same and futher it appears by a coppie record yt it is Cottage and likewise by the Oathes of 
severall depositions Daniell Cannell aged eithtie years or thereabouts sworne and examined saith that it is intacke and single rent and further saith yt he was 
in place where old John Cayne of Balla Gawne proved it before the comissioners Gilbert Croughan aged tree score years and seaven [67] sworne and examined saith

ever hard say duringe his tyme that it was intack and single rent. John Gawne sworne and examined saith accordinge to the former deponent in everie particular
