-I do hereby certify, that I know Mr. Joseph Orchard a Baker at New York during the late War, that I believe he was at New York during the whole Time that City was occupied by the British Troops, and that he was a steady Loyalist; I recollect perfectly to have heard during that War, that he had purchased a Farm at Bloomingdale on the Island of New York, from General DeLancey and that Mr. Orchard himself frequently applied to me with Complaints of great Injuries done him by the Troops, particularly the Hessians, in forcibly cutting down and carrying away his Timber and Wood to a very considerable Value, for which I understood he could obtain no Redress from the Military Power there, and that the Courts of Civil Justice not exorcising their Functions within the British Lines, no Redress could be proceeded for in the ordinary Course of Law.\\
