I Do hereby certify that I know the within named William
Parker and Joseph Moor to be credible honest men, and that
the Estimate on the other side appears to me to be a very mo-
derate one. _ I further certify that I know the within named
George Boomer to be extremely poor, having nothing but his
hand Labour to support a small helpless Family and that
the Beatment of Meal and Pound of Sugar was all the Food
or Nourishment in his House at the time the Flood came. In
Witness whereof I have set my Hand this tenth day of March
1772
