Marlborough, Aug. 5, 1772. William Scot was taken up on
suspicion of stealing a silver tankard and can from Mr.
Henry Abbot, & on examination before a magistrate, confessed
the same, and was committed to the goal in Concord. He
appears to be a young pale faced man, of a good education,
bright genius and quick wit, and a ready lively invention;
writes a good hand, and (as he says) he has been a clerk in
the Exchequer, and was brought up a musicioner to play on
the bassoon. &c. . . [18 lines]
