COMMITTEE, Efo, ^^9, i77° :
Upon the complaint of Peter Kachlein, Esq; Lieute
nant Colonel of the firft battalion of associators in the
county of Northampton, reprelenting, that a certain John
Mulch, of the town of Eafton, had falfely and mali
cioully caltimniated and slandered him, by circulating a
report that he, the said Peter Kachlein, was proffered the
quantity of 2000 acres of land, as a bribe or reward, to
life his belt influence and interest to keep up and support
the Assembly of this province; and the said Peter farther
tepreicnted, that the courts of law being now Ihut up,
he could find no redress or remedy from thence; he
therefore prayed this Committee to take the fame into
consideration. Whereupon it is Refolded, That the par
ties, and their evidences, be heard immediately; and the
said parties appearing in Committee, the said Peter pro
duced Cornelius Weygandt (one of the members of this
Committee) who solemnly declared that the said John
Mufch told him the said examinant, that the said Peter
Kachlein was to have 2000 acres of land, as a bribe or
reward for his supporting and upholding the Assembly of
Pennsylvania, or words to that effect. The Committee
then adjourned for farther consideration for the space of
three hodrs, and being met again, resumed the considera
tion of the aforefaid complaint, and upon mature deli
beration, are of opinion that the said John Mufch shall
sign a Writing? acknowledging his fault for circulating so
injurious a report which had greatly hurt the character of
the said Peter Kachlein throughout the whole country,
but more especially as an afibciator and officer, whereby
the public service is likely to sustain some loss; which
paper being drawn up, the said John refufed to sign, and
being repeatedly afterwards lummoned to appear before
this Committee, he constantly refufed to pay any obedi
ence thereto. Wherefore this Committee do hold up the
said John Mufch to this county as a dangerous, design
ing and refractory person; and the public are desired to
beware of him accordingly.
Refolded, That the above tranfaftion be publidied in
the English and German news-papers.
