Lib. C. B.

That in the month of February Last he was in Company
with Mr Samuel Harrison Clerk of the County Court afore-
said at a certain Mary Parkers at Prince Frederick Town when
the said Harrison Raised a discourse about Persons under the
British Governments Acting in an Arbitrary and unlawful
manner, in Particular that a certain Captain Cornish had used
a Person that was detained aboard the Vessell he Commanded
as a Ransomer very ill, in taking, or suffering his People, to
take away all his Cloaths and Expressed himself in the follow-
ing words as near as this Deponent can Charge his Memory
with, that We complained of Our Neighbours being in a State
of Slavery, but by God he could not see we were in a better,
or where the difference was, only this, if the King of France
wanted a Sum of Money and knew his Subjects had it he
would Command it from them, and if the King of England
wanted a Sum of Money he would make his Parliament give
it him and yet We bragg'd truly of Our Great freedom And
farther this Deponent saith not.
Tho' Ireland Jnr
