Hughes's house, and there Mr. Griffith proposed to Wm. Hughes whether he would on Oath deny that he told him that there was no way to Cafnan Mill thro Cafnan ground; Wm. Hughes very willingly took an Oath and upon that declared that he knew nothing of the Road, and that he did not remember ever to have told him any Such thing. upon which Mr. Griffith despairing to do any good in the matter, as relying entirely on Wm. Hughes's knowledge, whom he presumed had hitherto concealed what he knew, but that on his Oath he would discover the truth, Mr. Griffith I say perceiving that, was satisfyed as to the Road; and haveing walked from thence on the Road to the Mill & back again to the high way by Groes fawr, they agreed to be at equall expence in Setting up a hanging Gate, and to repair that between them from time to time as long as itlasted.
