„ signed articles to Rand by one another, called themselves True
Blue, and determined to destroy every person they met with.---
In this resolution they sallied forth on the sth instant, attacked
and cruelly beat an old man by the name of Wait, and wounded
in a very dangerous manner, a young man his son, who came
to his assistance, and a Negro boy that lived with him. They
then proceeded to Mr. Parry's Negro yard, where they killed
one, and wounded several, Mr. Parry having got intimation
of it, called some of his friends, and they went Rightly armed
in pursuit of them ; took one, but he was refeued by the rest
of the gang, and one Ward, who was fti led captain, fired among
the gentlemen, and shot one Samuel Kerr in the back. They
then surrounded the house of Mrs. Carter, into which Mr.
Kerr had been carried, and beset it all night ; but the mifehief
ended there ; for next morning eight or 9 of them were appre
hended, and diligent search was making after the rest.
