New Norfolk Street No. 21.
May 1st. 1783.
These are to certify that Mr. Brimage late of North Carolina Attorney at Law, on account of his Loyalty, became suspected by the governing power of that Country early in the American Commotions, in consequence of which after a most rigorous confinement as a malefactor, and suffering the greatest indignities, he was brought to trial for his life, with which narrowly escaping, he was banished that Province, & constrained to leave his family and property behind him. That he went to New York, and from thence to Bermuda, where he exercised his profession I have understood with credit, & advantage to Government; until the possession of part of Virginia by The Kings troops induced him to go there, & afterwards to So. Carolina in hopes of gaining an intercourse with his family, which he was finally obliged to leave last year; in order to seek relief here under his misfortunes.
