Apology and retraction by George Henderson

I, GEORGE HENDERSON, in Waulkmill of Arnage, on the 19th November last, called Mr WILLIAM MITCHELL, in Mill of Watertown, a Mis-sworn Fellow, in presence of sundry people, in the Village of Ellon.  I hereby declare that I had no reason for saying so, that I am sorry for having said any thing prejudicial to his character, that what I said on the above occasion was false, and that it consists with my knowledge, from having been a servant of his, that he is a man of strict veracity.  Witness my hand at Aberdeen, this twenty fourth day of December, eighteen hundred and eighteen.
