I the Reverend Joseph Railton Rector of the Parish of Knarsdale
within mentioned do hereby certify that I very well know the
within named Peter Waugh and also the several Persons, whose
Names are subcribed to the within written Certificate, and do
believe him and them to be very honest people. That I had
not an Opportunity of seeing the Corn, Straw, Pottatoes and Fogg
mentioned in the within written Account taken away and da-
maged by the said Flood, but very well know that the sd Peter
Waugh is the Farmer of the Farm within mentioned, and as
such the Owner of the said Corn, Straw, Pottatoes and Fogg. And
that I believe the within written Account and Estimate is a
true and moderate one  As witness my hand this thirtieth
Day of December 1771
