Taylor, Edward. 79. Born at Plumpton, 4 March 1800. Baptised at Plumpton. Good memory so far as his evidence goes. When I was 20 or 21 my Father moved up to Strood Farm, Buxted, which he farmed for 14 years. After that he acted as Bailiff for the owner Mr. Molineux for some time. Then he hired Spring Gardens. I have cut litter ever since I came to this neighbourhood. I remember the bounds by Kings Standing. I and John Allchorn broke into them and cut the litter. There was not enough litter outside so we cut that. I think also we broke in because of a dispute about turf cutting. I cut litter for Strood for my Father, Mr. Molineux, Benham's and Dadswell, Barnsgate, Ned Dadswell, Alfred Dadswell.

Shadwell -James Winter, when I was a young fellow.
Puxty - Humphrey, when we first came here, Benham who came there while we were living at Strood. Not for Pays nor Patmore.
Claygates - Cut litter and turf for Gilbert when I first came to the neighbourhood. Clifton had litter. I used to see it [in] his yards and turf stacked by the side of the road. I worked for him but did not cut there.
Hendall - Trill was there when I first came here. I cut a pretty deal of litter and turf for William Wheatley. I cut some of the litter over by the 500. I cut for Gardner many a time. We used to be lamentable good friends.
Bebbingford Farm - I remember Day there first and cut pretty many load for him. I don't think I cut for his successor Simes because I went at that time with Mr. Benham's team. Not for Farrant.

I knew Cophall and the Old Workhouse belonging to the Pages. Few people had more litter than the Pages off the Forest. I am not sure whether I cut for them.

Masketts. I used to cut with Martin Dray (dead) a great deal of litter for Knight of Masketts. Spring Gardens. I cut litter for my Father when he lived there.

I was never interfered with nor paid anything. I remember the Forest used to be driven by the Tenants to check the sheep and horses being turned out and the poor people's cows and the womenfolk pulled down the pound at Nutley. I was present and looked on.

I am not sure I had not got a cow of mine in the pound at the time. I have cut wood on the Forest for fencing.
