G&T^fday fyeataffy^^^ and 8 o'clock, as
M^ George SimpfOn, cft%miagham, war corning
over the Neck into town, he was met by 4 reffianc,
who appeared to be British faifort; they aled him
how far it was to a tavern, and on his informing
them, they immediately pulled him off his hotfe,
flamped cn his breal and wearied him in a mo#
cruel manner ; he effaced them his money, if they
„ould spare te^^. but they took no notice of his
offer, but perilled in beating him, till his hotfe run
towards the town, and two of the villain, pursuing
him, he had only the other two to contend with,
and by great exertions with his feet and hands, he
happily made his escape, but in a wounded condi
tion. He had 2800 dollars in paper, and abaft 12
dollars in hard money ; the hard-he has saved. but
the paper is miffing, but is enable to fay whether he
loft the money out of his pocket, cr whether the
villains robbed him of it, bat it appears moflproba
ble the latter.

To the Right Honorable, & Honorable '1 RAI-,
TORS to jbeir Country, the betrayers
of their trust, and the people's liberties,
the venal prostituted slaves who compose the

who live upon the plunder, difrefs and ruin
of their fellow fabjefts.
My Lords, and Gentlemen,
YO U were eleded by the people to be
the guardians cf their rights, the
protestors cf their property, and their
blood, against the designs cf a weak, cor
rupt,' ambitious, creel tyrant, and his
wicked profligate abandoned min fiers. It
was your duty to have opposed, as the
trustees of the people, the firft encroach
ments made on their liberties and the laws
of the lard.---It was your duty to have
checked the lust of power and despotic
rule so clearly manifested by the king and
his creatures, even at the expence of the
nation's blood and treasure, almost from
the fizft day of his accession to the throne--
It was your duty to have refilled every
Attempt to have increased the civil lift, and
or course the power and ruinous influence
of the crown ; and it is no less a duty in
cumbent on you to have refafed the pay
ment of those pretended, but enormous
debts, which his majesty had the con
feience to afl< two years ago, at a tim;
