Carey in the presence of Lucien Partridge, Justice of the Peace, do hereby confess judgment in favor of the above named plaintiff for one hundred and eighty two dollars and sixty cents on a demand arising on contract. John Hermicutt against Josiah Walsh in the presence of Lucien Partridge, Justice of the Peace, do hereby confess judgment in favor of the above named plaintiff for two hundred and fifty dollars and no cents on a demand arising on contract.
