March 1742                                                                     ADashiell

                Whereupon the said Thomas Smith present herein Court in his proper person at the prayer
of the af.d Richard Parker is adjudged to give special bail to the Action af.d  Thereupon a Certain John
Nelson of Somerset County planter present herein Court in his proper person undertook for the said Thomas
Smith (Likewise the said Thomas Smith present herein Court as af.d assumed upon himself) that if it should
happen that Judgment in the plea af.d should be rendred for the af.d Richard Parker against the same

should pay and satisfie unto the said Richard Parker the Judgment of the Court thereupon or render
his body in Execution of such Judgment to the prison of the sheriffe of the County af.d in satisfaction
thereof or that he the same John Nelson will do the same for him &c

               And the af.d Thomas Smith in his proper person Cometh and defendeth the force and Injury
when &c   and saith that he Cannot Deny the Action af.d of the af.d Richard Parker nor Can he say but that he
did Assume upon himself in manner and form as the af.d Richard Parker above against him hath Complained

beyond his Costs and Charges by him about his suit in that part apposed to three pounds nineteen shillings and
