Tn Committee December 11, r,„.
The Committee of lufpedion tor the county of Suffer on
Delaware, having met at the court house in Lewis town, ac
cording to adjournment, Mr. Joseph Cord appeared before
this Committee, according to fpccial notice, to answer for
his having used certain expreflions deemed ihnimical to the
welfare and true interest of America.
Whereupon it appearing by evidence offered to this Com
mittee, that the find Joseph Cord in fpc'aking of he King's
troops coming, laid tha he did 1101 know whether they wouct
time or not, that be had always been a King's fuhjedt, and
if they did come, he w aid spend the lad drop of his brood
with them, and after that was gone he was gone, and as tor
the Com mittecs aid Congrofs damn them, he valued them not.
Refoived therefore, That the said jofaph Cord be centur
ed for his unfriendly fpceches, and that he be ordered to
make fitch concessions as (hall be fatisfa&oty to this Com
no: it for his offence, and that the fame be pubhfhed tu the
public prints.
By older of the Committee, the following concessions were
drawn up and approved by the Committee, which where or
dered to be figcd by the said Joseph Cord, which was accord
ingly done.
1 Joseph Cord abovenam d, being confeious that such lan
guage by me ulkd (as is abovemeotioncd and set forth) is the
language of the woift ot enemies to America, arid that it hath
a direst cadency to injure the common carafe of American Li
berty, in which we should all be unammoufly engaged;
I take this public method to declare my furrow for my rash
and imprudent fpecches abovementioned, and that in future
I will pay a brief regard to the resolves ot the American Con
tinental Congds, and she rules and directions of the Com
mittee of Safety hr this government, and will cart fully avoid
all and every thing that has the lead tendency to violate or
contravene (he fame in any tep^a. JOSEPH CORD.

I THOMAS M'ARTHUR of Paxton Townfliip, in the
county of Lancaster, was seized in April, 1774, with a
most violent pain in my right fide, which continued seven
we^ks, and tubje&ed me to extreme ag ny, during the whole
time, without abating by any application; and then,in one
night's time, it moved to my right fhonlder, with excruciat
ing pain, working down from that shoulder to my back, and
immediately fw-lled, with a burning heat, as if it had been
healing; on which DOCTOR THOMAS WIGGENS, who
always attended me, applied medicines to promote the beat
ing; and after some time laid my back open once and again :
and, after the diferder had continued upwards of nine months,
so as te reduce me to a very low Bate, with little profpea of
recovery; yet, by the cart and diligence and Ikilful manage
