Publick Notice is hereby given.
WHEREAS sundry complaints have been made,
and great uneasiness appearing amongst the
people in general of Colonel bEv£Rs's battalion of
militia, in the townships of Bethlehem, Kingwood,
and Alexandria, in the county of Hunterdon, New-
Jersey, on account of the fines levied upon them by
the Magistrates and Field-officers oftfaid battalion,
for not standing their draught, nor procuring substi
tutes for the nine-months-service ; also on account
of the fines levied upon them some time before.
All which fines they complain were not equally
and proportionably levied, according to their circum
stances and situations, nor with equal justice reco
vered according to the warrants issued: Some hav?
ing their goods diftrained for the whole, while others
are favoured and cleared by paying only one half of
their fines, and great part of the monies recovered
mot fairly applied according to law. This being a
matter of great concern and consequence to the pub
lick in general, as well as to the inhabitants concern
ed in these three townships, it ought not to pass un
noticed in what ever part of the State it may happen.
In justice therefore to those who were fined, as well
as those who have at all times chearfully gone out,
when called, to the field of battle, for the good of
their country, some Magistrates and principal inha
bitants of the township of Alexandria think necessary
to request the favour of all the Magistrates of the
townships of Bethlehem, Kingwood, and Alexandria,
the Field and other commissioned Officers of said
battalion, and all the Collectors and Constables of
said townships to meet at the house of William Da
vis at Pitts-Town, Hunterdon county, Ntw-Jerfey,
©n Tuesday the 16th instant, (August) at 9 o'clock
in the morning, with all their accounts of the fines
levied, what money they have received, how it has
been dilpofed of, with the names and number of sub
stitutes that have been hired and sent out from time
to time, in order that a fair and just settlement may
be madcand rendered to the County Collector and
Treasurer of all those fines, as the law directs; and
thereby quiet the minds and uneasiness of the peo
ple, and prevent any slur ar discredit that might
Hereafter be brought on the officers and inhabitants
of these three townships. It is hoped all concern
ed will not fail to attend.
N. B. The Constables are desired to be sure and
bring in a return of all the warrants served from time
to time on account of the fines. All those aggrieved
by those fines are also desired to attend.
