Extract of a Letter from Perth-Amboy, Dec. 16, 1761 ..
"Once again we find this Province happy in the State of the Superior Court. What Anxieties have we undergone, ever since a Letter written by Mr. Mor- ris, upon his Appointment to the Government of Penn- sylvania, induced the then Lords of Trade, to think he resigned his Place as Chief Justice ! What
glorious Successors.

pike and a Newgate Solicitor ! Blessed Fountains of Justice ! Thanks to Heaven we now again have Judges whom we know, and who know 11S.

ADDENDA.
Note .- The following Extracts from the New American Magazine, for 1758, were obtained after the printing of the preceding pages and the Index was completed.
We have advice from Goshen, that on Sunday the 13th instant, one Samuel Webb was inhumanly butchered and scalped by a body of Indians, as he was fetching home his cows; at a distance of about half a mile from his own house, and not above two miles from' the court-house, which is situated in the thickest settled part of the town. We have also advice that on the Thursday following, the wife of Isaac Cooley was killed and scalped in her own house, (which is within half a mile of the block-house No. I,) and her three children carried away captive. And as Mr. Cooley was coming up to the house, he was fired upon by five or six Indians, but being missed fled to the town. He imagines there were a dozen or 15 Indians in the party : And had it not been for the extraordinary alertness and activity of the militia, in pursuing the party, and scouring the woods, many more of the neighbours doubtless must have been destroyed .- The New Ameri- can Magasine (Woodbridge), August, 1758.
Perth-Amboy, Sept. 24. At a special court of Oyer and Terminer and general goal delivery, holden the 22d of the last month for the county of Cumberland, in this province, Francis Pickering, alias Mason, alias Price, and Simon Hussey, alias Anderson, were tried, convicted, and received sentence of death, for horse-stealing. Hus- sey was a Youth about twenty years of age ; and it appear- ing, that he had been seduced by Pickering (who had the

character of a notorious thief) to commit these felonies, his excellency the governor, upon the petition of the justices and many of the principal inhabitants of the county, was pleased to pardon him. And Pickering was executed on the 18th of September at Cohansy, pursuant to his sentence. They were both inhabitants of Mary- land, and but lately arrived in this province.
At the circuit court held at Newark, for the county of Essex, before Mr. Justice Nevill, on the second Tuesday in this month, Dennis Dwire, was indicted for assaulting with an intent to ravish Elisabeth, the wife of John Morris; to which indictment he plead guilty:1 And the facts attending his crime, appearing very heinous, and the woman having been much abused, he received the follow- ing sentence, viz, To stand twice in the pillory, once in the town of Newark, and once in the borough of Elisabeth; to pay a fine of 15 1. to the King; to suffer a year's im- prisonment; and to find sufficient security for his good behaviour for seven years.
At the circuit court for the county of Morris on the fourth Tuesday in this month, William Hall was tried and convicted for assaulting with an intent to ravish Rachel Thompson, a girl of thirteen years of age. He was sentenced to stand in the pillory, to pay a fine of 10 1. to the King, and to enter into recognizance for his good behavior for three years; being a man in low circum- stances, and having a large family of children.
At the same court, came on the trial of John Henry Rice, alias Wright, a German, and a deserter from Col. Gage's regiment of rangers, for felony, in stealing a mare from Walter Brown of the same county : And Tho' the fact was fully proved, the prisoner being taken upon the back of the mare, in the county of Somerset, with a saddle

[1758
which he had likewise stole, and tho' the prisoner had confessed the fact before the justice of peace, and even again at the bar, and would have pleaded guilty, had he not otherwise been advised; yet the jury, to the surprise of the whole court, acquitted him; thereby assuming to themselves, (contrary to their oath) the power of ex- tending that mercy to the criminal, which was grantable only by the king himself, or his vice-gerent, the governor of the province.1 He was committed by Mr. Justice Nevill to the goal of the county of Somerset, there to be tried for two other felonies committed in that county, which he hath also confessed .- The New American Mag- asine (Woodbridge), September, 1758.
Perth-Amboy, Oct. 28. This day his excellency the governor returned from the treaty at Easton, where he had been attending with the governor of Pennsylvania, near three weeks. There were present at the treaty five hundred Indians, about two hundred of which were chiefs and warriours, and of thirteen different nations, namely, the eight Confederate Nations, vis. the Mohocks, Onondagas, Senecas, Oneidas, Cayugas, Tuscaroros, Nanticokes, and Conoys, now united into one; and the Tuteloes; and five nations dependant on the Confederates, vis. The Delawares, Unamies, Minisinks, Opings, and Mohiccons. There were also present two Indians settled on the Ohio who brought a message in writing signed by fifteen chiefs of the Ohio Indians, expressing their desire to have peace with the English, and their intention to accede to this treaty.
The conferences were carried on with great harmony. The Indians solemnly promised to return all the English prisoners. A message was sent to the Ohio Indians, ac-
1 These comments on the action of the jury are doubtless from the pen of Mr. Justice Nevill, the editor of the Magazine.

companied by two English officers, a chief of the confed- erates, and several other Indians, informing them, what had been done at this treaty, and inviting them to accede thereto. And peace was solemnly ratified by a large peace belt, which was delivered by the two governors to the confederate chiefs, and by them handed round to all the Indians present.
In the course of this treaty, his excellency our governor satisfied all Indians that had or pretended to have any claim of lands in the province of New-Jersey, except English or private rights: And releases thereof were ex- ecuted and acknowledged in the presence of several of the chiefs of the confederate nations, who attested the same, and were afterwards published in open council : And his excellency governor Bernard gave a little belt to the confederate chiefs, to be a perpetual memorial, that the province of New Jersey was now wholly discharged from all Indian claims .- The New American Magazine (Woodbridge), October, 1758.
The Hon. Col. Peter Schuyler arrived the latter end of the last month at his seat of Peterborough in this pro- vince. There came with him to Fort Edward 113 per- sons, who had been in Canada, and exchanged for those taken at Fort Frontenac. During the Colonel's captivity and residence at Quebeck, his kindness, benevolence, and charity to the poor English prisoners, was unlimited, the distressed never left the door un-relieved; his table was ever open and free to the unhappy officers his fellow prisoners; acquaintances or strangers, all were welcome alike to this truly noble-spirited generous captive: To whom these words are justly applicable by the unhappy sufferers, I was hungry, and you gave me meat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; naked, and you cloathed me; I was sick, and

you visited me; I was in prison, and you came unto me. For my feeding the hungry, clcathing the naked, redeem- ing prisoners from the Indians, &c. &c. &c. 'tis computed he hath expended out his own private purse upward of 20,000 livres. We hear he hath been extremely ill since his arrival; but is now in good health, and ready to take the field again whenever his country requires his service. -The New American Magasine ( Woodbridge), Decem- ber, 1758.
