 "W. Reynolds vs. Deckman. 
 
 W, HicYN'OLDS, sworn: — Notice to produce, marked IT. McD. 1, tendered, under affidavit. 
 Mr. Sedgwick objects that aftidavit is not sufficiei't. I receive tiie notice and afSdavit. Mr. 
 Harrington calls \\\^m Mr. Sedgwick for the prouujtion of tho papers mentioned in tho notice. 
 They are not produced. I know Thomas Reynolds. I List saw him last April. I purchased a 
 ticket for Colorado then, and saw liim start on board the train. Did not see him in the Province 
 since th en. Deposition lendered, read H. McD. 2. I know Jas. FT. Revnolds, I made a verbal 
 agreement with him and I rendered him his account. This was 111 July, 1870, He was to pay mo 
 $1200 the first October, and I was to give him a w.irranted deed of the place — that is the weotura 
 lialjof the Reymlds honnstead. lie took possession of it the latter part of July, the same year 
 He did not pay the money. He remained in possesion till the 2nd Jeiv^ 1878, tie then removed 
 tho house to tho place of the defendant. There was no house there when he entered upon the 
 land. Ho put the house there in the fall of 1870. He took the liouse olt' James Miller's pro- 
 jierty, He afterwards put a cellar under it. I did not see him build a wall there. The house

wft 8 stnndinj; level, iu.d the h iiso was Imnked up to tlie sill with earth. IIo then resided in tho 
 hons'j with his vito an-l ia:nily. Iln did not pay tho iiitcr.'<t or principal or ront. I saw tho 
 premises after the house had lid n taken oft. It was taken on tho ::nd Jan., 1878. I saw tho house 
 Oil the highway, and the leums t-tanchng there. 1 knew it. This was Ijofore I had a trial with liiro,and 
 alter 1 in tilnted procicijings. 1 wont to see the phicc, and took moasurtinents. Tho lonnda- 
 (ion was 22 Uy il!^. Tho loundation was made ol' hnildin;.' stdne ; a f^tone wall Un'unr, at iheHOUth- 
 west corner and runninji south thirteen fiet,down to the Itotu in ot tho eellar ; then there was an 
 underpinning; tolhisouth-east cornor ol'tli -, house, ihout 18 in.oviTirrouud, and IH in. to 2 ft thick. 
 The undcr|iin'iing had lieon liroken down to take the house away. Tho underpinning ran to within 
 thrt'J or four leet of tho N. E, comtr, and tlien- was then a wall sank diwn three feet, at least throe 
 or four feet around each «ido of the eorner ; then lliero was a drain riumiiii!; to the brook ahout 
 five feet deep ; then tho undei pinning went along the north side tho wliole length ; around the 
 w stside there wcro oleviii feet of unda'-pinning from tho corner, and the lialuico was collar wall 
 from five In six foot. There was a post in the ddlar at tiie (turner of it, under tiio middle of tho 
 hou>e, wliicli, if there was a heain on toj) uf it, would make tli<; cellar ab jut .') feet 10 iucheg. Tho 
 cellar had liecn dug williclay on the boiiom. The h ittoui of the cellar was drained out west. 
 All tho underpinning above was broken down, and also tlio wall level with the ground, but the 
 stores were iliore. There was no cellar when 1 sold him the place. The banking would be 
 broken down in moving ih.e house. The mo t of the stone was taken from an old house that I 
 formerly built on another part of the land . Half the houses at Musquoboboit are built the same way* 
 
 Crons-examined by Mr. Sedgwick— ki the lime I .sold to Reynolds my Deed was not on record, 
 it was in iiy ^Hi-sOfS-ion. 1 agreed to jay ray father $40 a year as long as ho lired. I recorded 
 thi' rU'cd two or three years after 1 agreed with Reyiu Ids This is my signature to paper H. 
 ilcD., 8. 1 owe .lohn Y. Tayznnt all the piiiiciiial, and some of the intereft (objected to). On 
 tho loth of May, ISTt), James 11. Hoynolds w ,s ii\ po>sessic n under his agreement. The house 
 was built oil tiie propjny doscriliud in paper 11. .McD. ;1. I was in Musqiiodob-nt in September, 
 lsT8, and la>t Sept. Thomas told me defendant was living in tho house when he made tho 
 demand. Thorn is had no authority to take the house away. 1 did not cmi)ioy any person to 
 take the house away. Tho wall was two feet iiigh in front. 1 found one block of wood laid across 
 under the northwe-t corner. 1 do swear that tho sills of the house rested upon stone, except 
 tiio Itltck that I rtiferied to. I say this because 1 saw no other wooden blocks. I will not swear 
 th.it there had not lieen other blocks there, but 1 do not believe there were I did not see a block 
 in the centre ot tho building on the south side. The cellar will hold about 200 bushels of 
 veiietablcs. 
 
 Re-examined by Mr. Harrington — In reference tothe question as to the black en the south side of 
 the building ; thoro was a timber which rested on a block in the centre of tho house, and projected 
 out iieyomi the wall on the south side about a foot. I saw it there after the ho . • was uuicn. it 
 rested on tho cel'ar wall. I saw tho centre post. The wall was built up on oa'..i side oi it I 
 swear it rested on stones.

 which stord about 25 feet fri m the highway. I assisted in hauling the house in the fall of tho 
 year. We left it re.«ting on blocks anil levelled. Reynolds moved into it the same season. I 
 assisted in dig-ging the cellar. One of the drains, the south one, was dug at the f-amo timo 
 —that was tho foi;*. wing fall. It was a cottage-house, about 22x28. it wa.s worth iJ400. Tho 
 neighbours and I assisted iu building up the wall. The cellar was about 1l'x12. The stoiiesuf
