Note 31 — The Speech of Mr. Thomas Theodore Deacon.[29]
Reading edition
Samuel Maddock or Maddox, an apothecary's apprentice in Manchester. He was appointed ensign in the Manchester Regiment, and after being taken prisoner became king's evidence. Some witnesses averred that Maddox held a bad character; that as apprentice he had wronged his master, and was not worthy of credence even upon his oath.—'History of the Rebellion,' extracted from the Scots' Magazine, 1755, pp. 279 et seq.
