Personall appeared in open court Nicholas Scott who being duly sworn deposeth and says that he has been acquainted with Joseph Drake eighteen years that during the whole time that I have known him he has sustained an unexceptionable character for truth and veracity and that I would put as much confidence in anything he might declare as any man within my knowledge. I believe from report and his own declarations that he was a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary Army. I moreover believe him to be of the age he represents.
