McClenachan, of lawful age: Sayeth that at the time when the first Fair was held in Staunton, about three years ago, this deponent was standing in the door of Francis Tyler, in Staunton, in company with Miss Priscilla Christian, since deceased, when she was asked by Miss Priscilla if she would not go down in Mr. Crow's store and get a fairing, on which this deponent answered she would not go, and presently Thomas Crow, standing in the store door of his brother William, waived his hand for this deponent and the other to come over to the store, which they did, and as they were going into the store the said Thomas Crow walked out, being called by his sister-in-law, to the best of this deponent's rememberance, and as he passed by them Miss Priscilla asked him if he was not going to give them a fairing, to which he answered: Stay till I come back; on which they went into the store, and Miss Priscilla made the same demand of a fairing from the defendant, Bell, who was then within the counter, and made no reply for some time, but at last he took from the shelves two pieces, or bolts, of ribbon, and told her to take her choice, which she did, and then he cut off a yard and gave it to her, when the said Miss Priscilla asked him if he would not also give this deponent one, to which he answered, yes, and delivered another yard to this deponent; and soon after Miss Priscilla asked the said Bell if he would not give them a fairing for Thomas Crow, to which he answered, yes, and then gave the deponent and the other a yard each from another bolt of ribbon, and some time after, when this deponent went to pay off her account with the plaintiff, William Crow, on hearing the articles read over with which she stood charged, she found a yard of ribbon, to which she objected, as she knew she never had bought any in the store, and on observing it was charged at the same time with the yard of linen which she bought from the said Bell, she told the plaintiff, Crow, that the defendant, Joseph, was wrong in charging her with a yard of ribbon when he had made a present of a ribbon to her and Miss Priscilla Christian at the same time, and she supposed had not charged Miss Priscilla, on which the said Crow looked if the other ribbon was charged to the said Miss Priscilla, but found no account, and then he looked into the said Bell's account and told this deponent that he found no ribbon charged of that date to the said Bell, and further sayeth not.
