John Trew Farmer of the Parish of
Aberysthuith [*] in the County of Monmouth States

I Know John Owen he is a Black Smith
and Works in the Parish aforesaid I recol-
lect Thursday the 31 st of October 1839 I went
into his Shop and saw him at Work he
was making some curious Kind of Iron
Instruments I asked him what they were
he said they were teeth for a Harrow I
said they were curious kind of Harrow teeth
and that I never saw Such before he said
the reason they were made that way
was in consequence of the Wood being rotten
