sheweth that on ye Igen of May 1776, we unhappily fell into the hands of our unnatural and savage Enemy at the Cedars in Canada, when Major Butterfield our commanding officer Capitulated with Capt Foster of the British army to the great grief and surprise of said Company, on the fol- lowing terms (viz) that we surrendered ourselves as prisoners of war and was to deliver up our arms which accordingly we did, and we was to have our packs and Baggage-and Capt Foster Engaged not to suffer the savages to plunder or abuse us, nor suffer the British troops so to do. But contrary to the Rules of War, they inhumanly without regard to their promise, suffered the savages to rob and plunder us of our packs and bag- gage, and strip us of our clothes off our backs and left us entirely naked. in this deplorable situation we were left in an enemies Country without money clothing or friends that could contribute to our relief-Therefore your humble petitioners humbly pray that your honours would take the matter under your serious consideration and grant to each person a sum something adiquate to the loss he sustained, and your Petitioners will gratefully acknowledge the favour, and as in duty bound shall ever pray.

[The fort called the "Cedars " was about forty-five miles south- west of Montreal. It was occupied by a portion of Col. Bedel's regiment, and an attack upon it being threatened, Col. Bedel went to Montreal for reinforcements, leaving the fort under the command of Major Isaac Butterfield, who, on the 19th day of May, surrendered his force, of about 400 men, to the British and Indians, about 500 in number, under the command of Capt. George Forster. After the sur- render the prisoners were treated in an inhuman and barbarous man- ner. stripped nearly naked, and some were murdered. A reinforce- ment of 100 men, under Major Sherburne, was captured by the enemy, after a desperate fight, on the day following, and received the same treatment. These prisoners were transported to an island in a lake near the "Two Mountains," and kept there nearly naked, with- out shelter, and with scant rations, for eight days, when they were released on a cartel agreed to between Gen. Arnold and Capt. Fors- ter. (Am. Archives. )-ED.]
