Mr. PRINTER,
Please to insert the following in your next.
^l7 HEREAS in that very impartial and ufeful
W^ paper of James Rivingtons of No. 100,
there is a piece wherein it is represented to the
world, that there are 120 freeholders and inhabi
tants of New-Milford, in Litchfield county,
that'have signed a protest against said town's adopt
ing the doings of the continental congress, therefore
the committee of correspondence for said town think
it their duty to inform the public the truth of the
case, as far as they are able, which is this, there
was something drawn up, by the heads of the tory
party, in order to get signers to have another town
meeting warned, and great industry and misrepre
sentation was used in order to procure said signers
& a confideraWe number whose names were made
life of to make up said number that signed said pre
tended protest, have been with us and declared chat
they never figged any such protell nor ever expell
ed to have their names made use of to be printed on
any account, and have desired their names taken out
of said number, and there was a number whose
names were included in said 120,wh0 were not law
ful voters in a town-meeting, and fcveral that were
not town inhabitants but drolling vagrant persons,
and hired servants ; and we further inform the pub
lic, that there is no such protest on our town re
cords, nor any offered for record, and we have ap
plied to those that we suppose to be the ringleaders
of the pretended royalists, for a copy of their pro
test and the names of those that signed it, but they
refufed to give it up; however, the committee
of infpedion for said town are making enquiry and
we hope in a Kort time they will be able to give
the public the names of those among the tory par
ty who are worthy the public notice, which we
cruft will be but small in this town.
Signed per order,
SAMUEL CANFIELD,
Clerk of the Committee.
