NATHANIEL HEARD,1 -The Pennsylvania Gasette, No. 2088, December 29, 1768.
Mr. GAINE,
A Gentleman who assisted as Counsel for Mr. Graham, in the Suit brought against him by James Arnet, for the burning of his Barn, which was lately tried at Newark, as is mentioned in Mr. Parker's last Paper, in Justice to Mr. Graham's Character, furnishes you with the following Account of Trial; which it is not doubted you will convey to the Public thro' the Chan- nel of your Paper, for the Justification of his Char- acter. The Representation published by him is in Substance, that the Charge against Mr. Graham, was for wilfully burning the Plaintiff's Barn; that the Evidence was clear, and the Jury found a Verdict for the Plaintiff.
THE true State of the Case is as follows, to wit. The Plaintiff's Declaration contained a double Charge: First, 1 For sketch of Nathaniel Heard, see N. J. Archives, Second Series, 1., 9.
344
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1768
That the Defendant negligently discharged his Fusee so near the Plaintiff's Barn, that by Reason thereof the Barn was set on Fire and consumed. Secondly, That the De- fendant maliciously intending to deprive the Plaintiff of his Barn, set it on Fire, by which it was consumed. With Respect to the last Charge, there was not the least Evi- dence offered to support it; and it was universally agreed that the Barn was fired by Accident. With Respect to the first Charge, the Evidence was far from being clear. Mr. Graham, and three other Officers, were going to divert themselves with their Fusees; in passing near the Barn, one of them discharged his Fusee at a Bird, and it is sup- posed that the Wadding fell on some scattered Hay near the Barn, by which the Fire was conveyed to the Barn. This was indeed mere Conjecture founded on this Fact, That a Person at a Distance, and who did not hear the Discharge of the Fusee, saw the Hay burning, and the Fire extending itself towards the Barn, and a few Minutes after the Barn was in Flames. Mr. Shilleto, one of the Officers, confessed he had discharged the Fusee; but hav- ing immediately after the Accident left the Country to avoid a Prosecution, Mr. Graham lost the Benefit of his Testimony. The other two Officers who were with Messrs Graham and Shilleto, and therefore best able to determine who it was that discharged the Fusee, fixed it by their Evidence fully and positively on Mr. Shilleto, and deposed that there was but one Fusee discharged in the Company, from the Time they left the Place where they had dined, till the Barn was discovered to be in Flames; but their Testimony was opposed by that of two other Witnesses, who, at a Distance saw one of the Company of Officers discharge his Fusee near the Barn. One of these Wit- nesses declared, That immediately after the Discharge, he knew the officer to be Mr. Graham, and the other declared,
345

1768]
That the Person who discharged the Fusee, was the first who entered into Mr. Woodruff's Store, and who was proved by other Witnesses to have been Mr. Graham; but it was also proved, That one of those two Witnesses, had before charged the Fact on Mr. Shilleto, and that the other had given a different Account from that which he rendered on his Oath. The two Officers who were Witnesses for Mr. Graham, had, it seems, on an Arbitration, shewn the Spot in which Mr. Shilleto discharged the Fusee, and one of the Arbitrators was produced to prove it; and he de- clared, That it appeared to him impossible that a Discharge of a Fusee at that Place, could have fired the Barn. A discharged Soldier also swore, That he saw the four Offi- cers with Fusees; that one of them fired, which drew his Attention, and at that Instant, Mr. Shilleto was some Yards behind the others, and asked them who had fired; but the Distance, at which this Soldier declared this Tran- saction happened from the Barn, did not agree with the Account given by the Plaintiff's Witnesses. This is in Substance the Evidence that was offered on the Trial, which must appear far from clear. The Witnesses seemed at first View to be opposed to each other, and the Jury tho't it their Duty to reconcile their Testimony, if possible, which they did by supposing that two Fusees were dis- charged at different Distances from the Barn; the one at the Spot shewn to the Arbitrators, they supposed to have been discharged by Mr. Shilleto; the other, near the Barn, by Mr. Graham. This Supposition could not however be reconciled with the Testimony of the two Officers, unless it should be thought that two Fusees had been discharged in their Company, and that they had forgot the Discharge of one of them. It was upon this Principle however that the Jury, after four Hours Recess from the Bar, found a Verdict for the Plaintiff.
