" Amherst. April 24 1804.
"A Report of the Committee appointed at the last December meeting. to inquire, whether the town, by any legal means, could avoid the expence of sup- porting Aaron Kellogg.
" Your Committee were duly impressed with the importance of their Commis- sion, as it respected the Interest of the Town. as well as their own reputation: knowing the Town indignant at the attempt. made by Daniel Kellogg, while rolling in wealth and prosperity, to impose his deranged brother upon it. Your Committee have consulted the most eminent Attorneys in the government. upon the question : viz, Mr Parsons of Boston, Mr Williams of Deerfield: Mr Ashmun of Blanford : and Mr Hinckley of Northampton. The Committee have not settled with all of them : therefore, they can not report the precise sum of the expence; but it will not exceed fifteen Dollars.
"A question of so much consequence to the town, in which their feelings are so deeply interested, has not failed to excite very uneasy sensations in the minds of their Committee; that they cannot make a Report more consonant to their own, and the Town's wishes. But it is their duty. however disagreeable the task. to lay before the Town the Report of their inquiries.
" We are told. that Justice and Equity are upon the side of the town but that past transactions have precluded them from the benefit of Law. We are advised to submit to the injustice. rather than risque a doubtful decision.
" Our lawyers. upon an accurate statement of the case. could hardly persuade themselves. that such an instance of the want of brotherly affection could exist it the Community : and endeavored to convince your Committee, that upon mature deliberation, Daniel Kellogg could not risque his reputation in persisting in such a

mode of conduct : as he must well know. could not only render him and his family very obnoxious to every inhabitant of the Town, but contemptible in the eyes of all. who should come to the knowledge of the case. From the suggestions of those gentlemen, and from the wish of mankind in general. to stand well with their fellow- men, your Committee entertained a faint hope. that Daniel Kellogg. reflecting upon the palpable injustice of his conduct, and considering the abundance. with which he is surrounded. and knowing that a considerable sums of money must be wrung from the hard earnings and scanty pittance of the poor and indigent. every Cent of which is necessary for the support of their helpless offspring, to support a Brother of his-that it would have reduced his obdurate heart, and have excited some sen- sations of brotherly love & affection. But in this, they have been disappointed. Callous to the hard fate of a wretched and distressed brother, and devoid of all the natural and social feelings of humanity : wrapt-up in the barbarous garb of self-interest : abandoning all the tender ties of brotherly love and affection : deaf to loud calls of Justice. and the earnest intreaties, and humble supplications of a miserable deranged Brother, he stands a deplorable monument of human depravity ! " Your Committee recommend this Report to be entered on the Records of the town, as a rare instance of the want of brotherly affection ; and that it remain there, until Daniel Kellogg, or some of his Posterity, shall indemnify the town for the expence of supporting his brother, Aaron Kellogg,-
