Joseph Barnes did bespeak of me four brass cocks, which he said were for the warm springs y that being disappointed by my journeyman, I got them made by Mr. Charles Weir & Co. -- said cocks I do beheve were made in the fall of 1785, but have no charge made of them to ascertain the time with precision -- this I assert, as witness my hand, at Baltimore this 26th day of April 1788.

N". 22.

The certificate of Charles Wier, who speaks with tolerable certainty of the works being made in the spring of 1786.

This may certify, that when I was in partnership with Isaac Causten, I made four brass cocks for Mr. Christopher Raborg, for which I received the Money and charged myself with it -- that my books are destroyed and I cannot exactly recollect the time of' their being made, but am persuaded it was early in the spring in the year 1786 -- this further may certify, that I never made the exact number of four cocks for said Raborg, except only that one time. As witness my hand, at Baltimore, 26th. day of April 1788.

CHARLES WIER.

N°. 23.

The certificate of Isaac Causten, who ascertains upon good grounds that the said work was done and charged on the 29th March 1786.

This may certify, that I the subscriber with my partner Charles Wier, made four brass cocks for Mr. Christopher Raborg, and charged them on the partnership account -- said book has since been destroyed, but from some loose papers I found charged to M'. Raborg on the company's account, on the 29th March 1786, four brass cocks, which with other accounts I have drawn out into my day book. Neither have I made the exact number of four rocks for him at any other time.
