Thurs. March 28, 1811
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA       
WAKE COUNTY
I do hereby certify, that some time in the month of January last, CAPT. 
WILLIAM SCOTT, of the City of Raleigh, was brought before me on a warrant 
issued at the instance of JOHN SUTHERLAND, as assignee of ISHAM HOLDING; and 
as well as I recollect, that CAPT. SCOTT voluntarily offered to confess a 
judgment for the sum of 22 pounds, some shillings, and actually did confess a 
judgment for the sum above mentioned. But finding that the officer serving the 
warrant on CAPT. SCOTT had not the note in possession, on which the warrant 
issued, it was thought advisable to make some remarks, in order that the note 
and judgment should not both b in force against said Scott. I was induced, 
therefore, to make this remark, underneath the judgment: "That unless the note 
on which the judgment was ground, was delivered to me or to the said Scott 
within a month after the date of the said judgment, the same shall be null and 
void. The note has never been given to me, nor do I believe it ever has to 
said Scott; and am convinced in my own mind that Capt. Scott had not at the 
time of confessing the judgment, or at any other time of confessing the 
judgment, or at any other time since, or now has, the smallest of inclination 
to evade the payment of the money due by the note, provided he could be made 
safe in so doing. Given under my hand this 25th of March, 1811.
    JOHN MARSHALL, J. P.
