ON tb„oth of + 4pril ultimo, the Supreme Judicial Court WAS
opened at Northampton fa the County of Hampshire ; a
cnnfiderable number of people collected (from feme of the back,
torohs it teas [aid) to impede the regular adminiftratien of justice;.
and on Wednesday 'fome persons ivith a memorial from this col
lection waited on the Court, deJiring they would continue all civil
bujinejs and proceed in criminal matters only. The /Memorial
mentioned feme supposed grievances the people laboured under —
These persons from what they heard in Court seemed convinced
that they were mifinfarmed in several instances, and were told that
the General Court was the place to apply for redress of grievan
ces (if any there were ;) but were told that the Court would pro
ceed in the business of their department.
On Thursday, one Samuel Ely, a late fettled minifer at So
mers, in Connecticut, who was under a recognizance for his ap
pearance and answering before the Court for his mal-condacf
was,bs his bail brought into Court and delivered up. From Ely's
conduct, and the appearance of forte persons in and out of the
Court House, a refeue of his person from the Sheriff on his going
to prifin was apprehended. The Sheriff on this information was
directed to call for such aid as would be Efficient to prevent st.
In a few ministes 300 performs and upward f appeared to the assistance
of the Sheriff, and Ely was IN off to prison without oppoftion.
On Thursday, the Grand Jury prevented an indictment, againfl
the said Samuel Ely, fora higtomifdemeanor in attempting to raise i
Jedition,fpreading falfe reports, and by his inflamatory speeches,
seducing a number of persons toaffcmble together i n a riotous man
ner, with intent to flop the courts ofjuftice, and subvert the consti
tution, &c. &c. To this charge he pleaded not guilty, and the
Monday following was aligned for hit trial. On the Monday
morning early, intelligence was received that about 200 armed
men had collected, and were on their march to refeue Ely, andput
a flop to the further fitting of the court ; upon which an alarm
Was given, and the militia of the town, and such of the adjacent
towns as were within hearing, with great fp^t and ardor affem
bledin military array. Ely was set to the bar for his trial, when
he moved the court, that he might have liberty to retraff his former
flea, and plead guilty to the charges alledged in his indictment;
which, after some consultation, was granted, andthen Ely pulick,
ly read off, and delivered a humble and penitent confefiion of his
conduct, and implored the court that, for the fake 'of his ancient
father, his wife and children, and his former ministerial char4%er,
he might not be fubjefted to arty corporal or infamous punishment.
The court then proceeded to judgment, and sentenced him to pay
a fine of sol. to the Commonwealth ;• to fuffer fix months imprison
ment; recognize with furetics in zool.for his keeping the peace,
and being of the good behaviour for the term of threefears; to pay
cogs and fund committed until the sentences be performed.
The adherents to Ely approached the town, taring up and de
taining all persons that travelled the roar, till they came within a
small distance, when finding the supporters of law, government
and the cenflitution fixed and determined, they dispersed to their
tefpcflive habitations. The court proceeded in the business before
them, and continued their session until Wednesday the ^th infant
at 4 o'clock, and then adjourned without day.
From many circurnftances it appears highly probable, that the
infurreftions against the courts, in the counties of Berkshire and
Hampshire, have been excited and fomented by the difaffetted To
ries in these parts.
