PETITION
BY THE INHABITANTS OF CHESHIRE REQUESTING THE PUNISHMENT
OF BRITISH PRISONERS.
CHESHIRE. July 8, 1814.
Sir,-We, the subscribers, inhabitants of the town of Cheshire, supposing that you have the power to control or remove the British prisoners now located in Cheshire, think proper to state that they have conducted themselves in such a manner as to ren- der their longer stay in this place highly improper. To pass over as trivial, number- less instances of disorderly and shameful conduct of which they have been guilty, we want to merely state that they have recently indulged themselves in the amusement of firing, with bullets, lengthwise of the street, at a mark, and a few days since fired two balls through the meeting-house, neither have we any reason to believe it aeci- dental. If there are those in Cheshire to whom money is dearer than reputation, and who are willing for the base desire of gain to submit to every indignity and insult. especially from British officers, it is not the case with the subscribers. It was thought best by many when the last outrage was committed on the house of worship to give the perpetrators instant chastisement, but they were restrained by two considerations : first, that although their conduct was insulting in the extreme, and such as we shall not tamely submit to, yet they were prisoners and rested safely on the arm of mercy ; and lastly, that it was proper first to request those whose duty it was to provide a suitable situation for them to remove them from Cheshire. We therefore request that they may be immediately removed from this town, and punished for their shame- ful and disorderly conduct. In the period of our revolution we were not in the habit of being insulted by our prisoners. When our countrymen, taken by the enemy, were cruelly treated and suffered every indignity which a merciless foe could in- fliet, a system of retaliation was resorted to, and it proved for them better treat- ment. Unless the public documents deceive us. our countrymen who are so unfortu- nate as to be taken by the British, are now in many instances treated with great bar- barity, and onr returning good for evil does not appear to have any effect toward ameliorating their condition. But this is not the object of this communication. Al- though the British officers may have fared sumptuously on the fat of the land during their residence here, but when, from their repeated and flagrant violations of law and order, the lives and property of the community are jeopardized, it becomes onr duty to state that their society is insupportable, and that they cannot remain here. We wish you would inform us of your determination by letter as soon as may be, and we would adjure you that a compliance with onr request as soon as may comport with your convenience will much oblige the community at large and your very Humble Servants-
