To Whom Concerned

I William Pennington Judge of the District Court of the United States in and for the New Jersey District, do certify that I have examined this Day two credible witnesses under oath, neighbours to the before named Amos Kipp the before named applicant, and from the testimony of said witnesses under oath, I am satisfied that the said Amos Kipp is a poor man owning no real and but little personal property, that he rents a small indifferent cabin with four acres of as indifferent land, that he is a man of colour, and as he states about fifty four years of age and at present able to get a living but says works for himself wife and one child living with him, but should his health fail him he must become a public charge, that the reason why I state the case in the manner as above is because I am not in form whether or not according to the views of the War Department the applicant being able to obtain a living by daily labour is sufficient to exclude him from the benefit of the late laws in favor of Revolutionary Soldiers.
