tTo'thech irmctm aridmembers of the commit
ct' tcefo inwiddie caunty, the memorial of
MCSXRD HANSON, of the town of
_ __ etershurg,
'anwz'rn,
* -HAT your memorinlist lxns heard,
' with much' concern, that he Hands
:; charged before this committcc with hav
flying wilfully violated :m order osthc Isilou.
" oncinental Congrcss, for the observzuion
ofFriday 17Lh instant (May) as & solemn
FA ST DAY.
Your memoriaiist most solemnly de
xct dares, that at the time of his gixing the
ss invitation to_ his neighbours, which' hm
excited against him the (hid complaint, he
did not recollect that it was the day set
apart for that purpose, until it was so late
*ss_ in the day that he npprehended his coun—
? termunding the imitations might be sup
posed to arise rather from a, want of hos—
pitnlity than a religious attention to the
appointed sclemnity ; and as he was con
scious of having no design or desire to
. contrivene either that, or any other order
;? of that honourable assembly, he trusted—
that the' most snvourable construction
wouid be put uponctan act attended with
no mark of sestivity, or productive of
disorder or licentiousness. '
'Your memorialilt begs leave farther to
_ assure this committee, that he has, since
si _11i_s sirst residmce in this colony, been con
si'iflantly obedient to the laws and regulati
ons Ordained in it; and more particularly,
si since the commencement of the late un—
' - hippy disputes, between the colonies and
the parent state, he has firmly resolved,
&- in no instance, to give offence to the inha
bitants of a country where he has enjoyed
. all the benefits arising to individuals in :
si well regulated suciety, and experienced
the friendship OF many worthy members
ofit, cthis utmost wish being to acquire the
character of a peaceable and inoffensive
citizen.
.Under this circumstance of inattention,
and inadvertency as to the offence com
mitted, and his hearty contrition for the
sa'me, he hopes this committec will rest
satisfied of the innocence of his intentions,
and believe him when he declares, that he
will neither, by word or deed, give cause
fox complaint iu future; and that he will,
i'ti all instances, conform himself to the
regulations that have been already made,
or may hereafter be marked out, for the
inhabitants' of this colony. And most
iincsierely wishes for a return osthat peace
, ctnnd tranquillity which has heretosore pre
Vailed in Virginia, in which he has passed
the happiest part oshic life; nd that the
present contest may be ended with honour
and advantage to the United Colonies of
A_merica.
" RICHARD HANSON.
- E the subscribcrs, who partook of a
' - . dinner at mr. Hanson's on the day
mentioned in his memorial, seriously de
clare, that it was done iuadvcrtcmly, and
not with design', as has been suggested, to
connteract the order of the lion, Conti
ncntal Congrcss. We farther acknow
ledge, that we are heartily sorry for not
flrictly attending to that nnd every other
" 'order of that honourable assembly; and
solemnly engage, in future, -so to conduct
ourselves as to give no offence to the inha—
bitants osthis cczsilony, nor in any instance
whatsoever again neglect to comply with
every order of the Contincntal 'Congrcss,
or the ordinances of the Convcntion of
this colony hcrezsccr made ornow ordained .
