Northampton, Oct. 13, 1747.
The last Friday Morning died here, in the 30th Year of his Age, that excellent Servant of Jesus Christ, and successful Missionary to the Indians, from the Honourable Society in Scotland, for propa- gating Christian Knowledge, the Reverend Mr. David Brainard, and Yesterday was decently in- terred.
He was Son to the worshipful Hezekiah Brainard, Esq; of Haddam in Connecticut, one of the As- sistants of that Colony, who died when this his Son was about 9 years of Age.
He was thrown into a Consumption unawares, by the extreme Labours and Hardships, he endured amongst the Indians, at a Distance from the ordinary

Supports and Comforts of Life, that are enjoyed among civilized People. He was seized with a great Degree of Illness at his Vitals, attended with a Spit- ting of Blood, the last Year, in the Month of August, at Tuscohannah, whether he went on the Business of his Mission, a Journey of about 250 Miles, into the Wilderness ; where, after he was thus Ill, he was obliged to lodge on the Ground, and in the open Air, and had such a tedious Journey to go, to get back to his more common Place of Abode, in New- Jersey. He preach'd but a few Times after his re- turn, before he was wholly taken off from his Work ; and lay exceeding Ill, all the last Winter, at the Rev. Mr. Dickenson's at Elizabeth-Town. In the Spring he revived, so as to be able to ride : And being advised to ride for his Health, he came into New-England; and came hither, to Northampton, about the latter end of May: And after a short stay here, rode to Boston ; where he was again taken exceeding ill, and lay for some Weeks on the Brink of the Grave, none expecting that he would ever go abroad any more. But then he revived, so as to be able to re- turn to Northampton, about the End of Fuly, and continued here, gradually languishing more & more till his Death.
He was a Person of extraordinary natural Abilities, a rare Instance, of a ready sprightly Invention.

New-York, December 7.
We have Advice from Hacinsack, that on Monday last, two Men were apprehended there, and com- mitted to Bergen County Goal, for uttering counter- feit New-Jersey Bills of Credit ; On their being ap- prehended, one of them made an Excuse to go out, and going behind a Barrack, was seen to stick some- thing in it, and Search being made, a large Bundle of those Bills were found there; which together with some found upon them made in all 102 Bills of Fif- teen Shillings each, whereof 36 were signed ;- 142 Bills of Twelve Shillings each where of 8 were signed; and 89 Bills of Six Shillings each whereof 27 were signed. Of the Six Shillings Bills, there were some done in Imitation of those dated 1743 and some of
423

1747]
those dated 1746. They are all done from Copper Plate, and may be easily known when compared with the true Ones, by the Marks under mentioned. One of the Men's Name is Joseph Bradford, born in New- London, and Pretends to be a Doctor ; the other John Lummis, born in Naraganset, and is a Black- smith :- Tis tho't these are some of the Gang men- tion'd in the Governor's Speech in the Pennsylvania Journal No. 262 ; (date Nov. 26, 1747) and 'tis hoped those Pests of Society, may now meet with the just Reward due to their Knavish Ingenuity.
*Some Remarks by which the Counterfeit New- Jersey Fifteen Shilling Bills may be known. They are in Imitation of the newest Money, dated July 2, 1746: The Paper of the Counterfeits is thin and smooth, and when look'd thro' in the Light, appears fair and free from Knots: The Paper of the true Bill is thicker, rougher, and when look'd thro' in the Light, appears clouded and uneven : The Counterfeits are wholly done from a Copper- plate, the Back as well as the Fore-side; the true Bills are printed from common Types, in the common Printing-Press : The three Crowns. by the Side of the Arms in the Counterfeits are unlike each other, and more round than those of the true Bills, which are like each other, and are the same with this : The Flowers above and below those Crowns in the Counterfeits are nothing like those in the true Bills : The Value of the Bill just over the Signers Names in the true Bills, is the same Characters as here XV SHILLINGS. į in the Counterfeits the Letters of the Word SHILLINGS are larger. There are many
424
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1747
other Marks by which they may be distinguished, but these we hope will be sufficient.
The Counterfeit Six Shilling Jersey Bills are in imitation of those dated July 2, 1746. are done wholly from an engraved Copper-plate, whereas the true Ones are printed by common Types. Besides other Marks, the Counterfeits may be known by the S in the Word SILVER being remarkably larger than the rest of the Word, thus [SILVER] and the S in the Word Grains very badly made. There is likewise a great deal of Difference in the Border of Flowers round the Sage Leaf on the Back; the flourishing being more open, loose and irregular in the Counterfeits than in the true Bills; and the Strokes that represent the Fibres of the Leaf, not appearing so naturally rough as they do in the true Bills. The Letter S in the Word SIX at the Top of the Counterfeit Bill, is much larger than the IX, and the Letters in the Word SHILLINGS, at the Top of the Counterfeit stand very crooked.
The Counterfeit Twelve Shilling Jersey Bills are done in imitation of those dated 1733, and are done from a Copper-plate, but may be easily distinguished by its Brightness, when compared with the true Bills. -The Pennsylvania Journal, Dec. 15, 1747.
Extract from the Votes of the General Assembly of New-Jersey, now sitting at Burlington. Thursday, December 10.
A Message from the Council by Mr. Kemble, which was read, and is in the Words following.
"This House having received Information upon "which they can depend, That a Number of Evil-
425
1747] NEWSPAPER EXTRACTS.
"minded Men did on Friday the 4th Instant, assem- "ble themselves in an unlawful Manner in the Town "of Trenton, and then in open Defiance of the Law, "and Contempt of his Majesty's Authority, did break "open His Majesty's Goal for the County of Hun- "terdon, and forcibly take from thence one David "Brealy,1 who stood committed upon a Process issued "out of the Supream Court of this Province, at the "Suit of the King, upon an Indictment for High "Treason, in levying War against our Lord and "King, tho' they knew that the said Brealy was In- "dicted and stood Committed for High Treason.
"And this House having also received Information, "that the Persons so assembled at Trenton, for the "treasonable Purpose aforesaid, did then give out "certain threatening Expressions of their Intentions "of coming to this Town in a great Body, in order to "apply to the Governor and Assembly, and to pre- "vent their being apprehended by the Officers of the "Government for any of the Crimes they had com- mitted.
"And this House taking the said Resolution into "their Consideration, and weighing the many dan- "gerous Consequences that may attend such a bold "and daring Insult upon the Legislature now sitting ; "and that from the past Conduct of the desparate Peo- "ple concerned in supporting and perpetrating the "many great Riots and treasonable Insurrections that "have been committed in this Province, there is too "much Reason to expect they will carry into Execu- "tion their Threats of coming to this Town in a Body.
1 Probably Brearly, father of David Brearly, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
426
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1747
"And as His Majesty's Authority and the Laws of "the Community are openly slighted and abused by "such repeated Insurrections, and as such an Insult "upon the Legislature will be of most dangerous "and pernicious Example, and occasion the greatest Confusion in the Province.
'This House are therefore of Opinion, That the 'most effectual Measures should immediately be con- 'certed, in Order to prevent the Execution of any 'such traiterous Designs against His Majesty's Auth- 'ority, the Freedom of the Legislature, or the Peace 'and Safety of the Province, and in order to strengthen 'the Hands of the Government so as to enable them 'to bring to Tryal and Punishment those Persons who 'have been daring enough to act in such open Viola- 'tion of the Laws of the Country.
Whereupon it is agreed, That a Conference be de- sired of the House of Assembly upon the Subject- Matter aforesaid. And it is Ordered, That Mr. Kemble do wait on the House of Assembly, and request a Conference accordingly, and (to prevent Delay in a Matter of so great and immediate Conse- quence) acquaint them, that this House have ap- pointed Mr. Chief Justice, Mr. Coxe, and Mr. John- son, to be a Committee to confer with such Commit- tee as the House of Assembly shall appoint for that Purpose at the Widow Hunloke's at Five o'clock in the Afternoon '

mittee of the Council, at the Time and Place ap- pointed 'in a free Conference (if that be intended by 'that House) on the Subject-Matter of the above Message.
Ordered, That Mr. Leaming, and Mr. D. Smith do inform the Council there of.
Mr. Leaming reported, that Mr. D. Smith and himself had waited on the Council with the Message of the House.
The House adjourn'd till To morrow Morning nine o'Clock.
Friday, December 11, 1747.
Mr. Kearny from the Committee appointed on the free Conference with the Committee of the Council, on the Subject-Matter of the Message of that House, reported, that the Committees met and did confer thereon, and agreed to report to both Houses, as the Opinion of the Committees, that some Resolutions be entered into, proper to discourage such large Num- bers of Persons coming down to this Place to lay their Complaints before any Branch of the Legisla- ture, in such Manner as is reported ; but that if any Persons, who have been indicted or legally accused of the Disorders committed in this Colony, have any Thing to offer, it ought to be done in a decent Man- ner, by a small Number of others in their Behalf.
Resolved, Nemine Contradicente,
That any Number of Persons coming to present Petitions or lay Complaints before any Branch of the Legislature in a tumultuous Manner, or in Company with any Person or Persons indicted for, or legally accused of the Disorders committed in this Colony,
428
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1747
in order to protect or countenance such Persons, is and will be a high Infringement of the Priviledges of the Legislature, an Insult upon them, and a Con- tempt of the Laws : But that if any of those Persons have any Thing to offer, it ought to be presented in a decent Manner, by a small Number of others in their Behalf.
Ordered, That Mr. Cooper and Mr. Stelle do wait on the Council with a Copy of the above Report and Resolve, and acquaint them, that this House propose forthwith to order the Sheriff of Hunterdon, to publish the said Resolve in some of the most publick Places in that County.1
Mr. Cooper reported, that Mr. Stelle and himself performed the said Order.
The House adjourn'd to Two P. M.
Ordered, That an Extract of the Message of Yes- terday, with the Proceedings thereupon, be sent to the Sheriff of Hunterdon, or his Deputy, who is here- by required forthwith to read or cause the same to be read, and Copies thereof set up at the Court-House Trenton, and at the most publick Place in Maiden- head2 and Penny-Town.3

A Message from His Excellency by Mr. Secretary, which was read, and is as follows :
Gentlemen of the General Assembly,
Colonel Peter Schuyler, who lately commanded the Regiment raised in this Province upon the intended Expedition against Canada, has laid before me a Pe- tition respecting the Payment of what is due to him- self, his Officers and Men, which Petition is now lying before your House, where I hope it will have its just Weight and Consideration in all its Parts, and then I think it must induce you to fall into some reasonable Measures for the Relief of this Gentle- man, his Officers and Men, in their present hard Situation, which will be not only an Act of Justice and Goodness, and of doing Honour to this Government, but it must also gain the KING'S Countenance and kind Regard to this Province, in a speedy Reim- bursement of what Monies they have already ad- vanced, and may further do, for His Majesty's Honour and Service in the present Exigency.
