I was the person sent in by Mr. Goodricke to do what was right and
needful by the remains of a lady who had died at the house named in
the certificate which precedes this. I found the body in charge of the
servant, Hester Pinhorn. I remained with it, and prepared it at the
proper time for the grave. It was laid in the coffin in my presence,
and I afterwards saw the coffin screwed down previous to its removal.
When that had been done, and not before, I received what was due to
me and left the house. I refer persons who may wish to investigate my
character to Mr. Goodricke. He will bear witness that I can be trusted
to tell the truth.
