Tender ACT.
STATE of NEW-HAMPSHIRE.
In the year of our Lord, One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty-Seven.
An Act to exempt the bodies of debtors from prison, in certain cases, when sufficient estate is tendered to satisfy the demand.
Whereas, in the present scarcity of Cash, it is extremely difficult, in all cases, for debtors to discharge the demands against them in silver or gold, and the committing persons to prison, on execution for debts in every case, when real or personal estate is tendered by the debtor, or found by the creditor to satisfy the same, would at any time be very injurious :
Therefore, BE it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives, in General Court convened, That after the publication of this Act, and during the continuance thereof ; whenever any debtor shall tender to the creditor or officer, in satisfaction of any execution recovered upon action of debt, covenant or promise ( except in an action upon a bond taken by a sheriff or his deputy, or in cases herein after excepted ) either real or personal estate, sufficient to satisfy the same, said debtor's body shall not be liable to be taken or held in execution ; except as is herein after provided ; but the estate aforesaid may be taken by the creditor, and appraised off by three reputable freeholders of the county in which said estate shall be taken in the same manner as the law directs, for the appraising real estate in satisfaction of executions,
Provided always, That in case of estate being tendered as aforesaid, the creditor shall not be compelled to accept the estate so tendered, but if he can find any other estate real or personal, whereon to levy his execution, the same may be taken, and in all cases when any estate shall be taken on execution, the same shall be appraised and set off as aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, That in all cases where real estate shall be tendered by the debtor and accepted by the creditor, no equity of redemption shall be allowed ; but if the said real estate is taken at the election of the creditor, the same time for redeeming such estate shall be allowed as the law of this state, in such cases, provides.
And be it further enacted, That when the creditor shall not think proper to levy his execution on real or personal estate, found or tendered as aforesaid, the body of the debtor shall be exempt, and the said debt shall carry six per cent. per annum interest on the judgment, until the same is satisfied.
And be it further enacted, That the creditor may, at any time, renew his execution and take out an alias or plures, as the case may require, within one year after the return of any former execution, and levy the same on any estate of the debtor which he can find, and the Clerk of the Court, issuing out such alias execution, shall cast the interest thereon from the time of rendering the original judgment, and certify the same on the back of the alias or plures execution.
And the sheriff or other officer is hereby empowered to levy the same, as tho' it was contained in the original judgment, provided always,
no more than simple interest shall be allowed on any execution. And in order that the sheriff, or other officer may know what executions are for debt, or contract, or promise, and what are for damages in trespass and other actions for torts :
Be it further enacted, That the Clerk shall, on the back of every execution, certify what said execution was recovered upon, whether on note, bond, contract, or covenant, or bond taken by the sheriff or his deputy, or for trespass, trover, or other tortious act ; and if it be upon such sheriff's bond, or for any tort, the sheriff or other officer, shall proceed to levy the same as tho' this act had not been made.
And be it further enacted, That when it shall happen that the body of any debtor shall be taken by an execution, issued from a Court of record ( on which, by this act, he is admitted to render real or personal estate ) in any other county than where his estate shall happen to lie, if he shall make oath before any Justice of the Peace in the county where he happens to be taken, that he has estate, real or personal, in some other county, sufficient to satisfy said execution, free from incumbrance ; and shall particularly describe the same, the sheriff shall immediately notify the creditor, his agent or attorney, and shall certify on the back of said execution, that the said debtor has made such oath or affirmation, and shall deliver the same over to the creditor, who may, if he thinks proper, repair to the county where such estate is supposed to lay, and the sheriff or his deputy of that county may proceed to serve the same on such estate, and make return thereon of his having levied on such estate, or that none such could be found, and deliver the same to the creditor, who is to return the same within twenty days, to the sheriff, who first served said execution ; and in case the creditor neglects so to do within the time aforesaid, the sheriff or his prison keeper, ( if the debtor stands committed ) shall liberate the debtor upon his paying the fees of service and prison charges, if any there be. And the sheriff who first apprehended the body of such debtor, shall, on his delivering over such execution to the creditor, take and keep a copy thereof, which shall be sufficient for him to detain the body of such debtor during the twenty days aforesaid, unless such debtor give bond with sufficient sureties to the sheriff, that in case the estate so tendered should be found insufficient to satisfy the execution, he will surrender himself to the sheriff at or before the expiration of the said twenty days, upon giving such bond, he shall be liberated for that space of time.
And be it further enacted, That in future, executions from any court of record, shall be directed to any, or either of the sheriffs of the several and respective counties, or their deputies, unless where the sheriff is a party, in which case, they are to be directed to the coroner of his county, and to the sheriffs of the other counties and their respective deputies.—And in order that the creditor may not be injured for want of proper notice ;
Be it further enacted, That when an execution is delivered or sent to the sheriff of any county, the person delivering or sending the
same, shall, on the back thereof, indorse the name of some person in the same county, who shall be considered as the creditor's attorney, and notified as such, unless the creditor live within, or can be found in the said sheriff's precinct.
Be it further enacted, That in all executions to be issued after the publication hereof, on which a tender is allowed by this act, the words, "to the acceptance of the creditor," shall not be inserted in the same, any law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.
And be it further enacted, That if after such oath or affirmation made as aforesaid, no estate can be found, and is so certified by the officer, the body of the debtor shall be holden until he satisfies the execution with all the costs thereon, as tho' this act had not been made.
Provided always, That the debtor, if required, make oath before a Justice of the peace, that he has not covered, conveyed, or disposed of any estate or property of his, since the commencement of the suit, upon which the said execution was obtained with a design to defraud his creditor.
And it is further enacted, That in all cases where an execution issuing from a justice of the peace, shall be levied on real estate, in consequence of this act, the levy shall be made by the sheriff or his deputy of the county whereto such justice is commissioned, and the execution recorded in the office of the recorder of deeds for the same county : And when any such execution is levied on personal estate, the same shall be appraised in the same manner, as if the execution had issued from some court of record ; and every justice of the peace, shall make notes on all executions issued by him in the same manner as the clerks of the several courts are directed to do by this act.
Provided nevertheless, That this act shall not extend to, or be construed to extend to, or effect any contract or obligation, made and dated after the last day of August next, whereby any person or persons promises to pay gold or silver.
And be it further enacted That all other laws now in force respecting tendering real or personal estate, shall, after the publication of this act, be and hereby are repealed.
This act to continue and be in force for the space of three years and no longer.

JACOB TREADWELL Portsmouth, August 9, 1787.

D U B L I N, May 21.
Misery seems to have found an asylum, and to have taken up her abode in the cottages of the wretched Irish. It is a waste of words to contend, that their poverty is the fruit of their own indolence; such language is calculated only for the meridian of a capital, whose inhabitants rarely emerge from its environs; the person who has traversed the kingdom has witnessed their severe and laborious industry, and will laugh at such empty assertion. Labouring from day to day, beneath that sun which never lights him to cheerful industry, but to unproductive toil, the Irish peasant for ever experiences the pinching of penury, obtaining just enough to starve himself and family. Thus perpetually toiling, whence are his tattered rags and empty stomach, if not from oppression?—Whence are the distresses of his family, unless from oppression?

Extract of a letter from Rotterdam June 1.
"We have had sad doings in Amsterdam, in the night betwixt Tuesday and Wednesday last. The patriotick mob have plundered the houses of burgomaster Rendorp and Beels, as also those of Arends the bookseller and that of his brother, whose houses are entirely destroyed."
"Letters received from thence this morning mention, that the riot is not ceased, and that the apposite party have commenced hostilities against the patriots (safely so called) as a reprisal."
"Commerce is at a stand in that once opulent city. The principal houses have shut their counting houses, and are removing their effects to their country seats."
Extract of a letter from Paris, May 10.
"The duty on stamped paper has been fixed for 70 millions of livres, almost three millions sterling."
N A S S A U, (N. Providence) July 28.
On the 22d of May, the Vigilant's water being nearly expended, she put into Turks-Island for a fresh supply. Immediately on her boat going ashore, a number of people assembled in a riotous manner on the beach; some of them dragged the sailing master out of the boat, and abused him and several of the sailors; they likewise insulted Mr. Drysdale, and swore that, in spite of all he could do, they would have the Americans to trade with them as formerly. In all appearance they would have proceeded to still greater outrage, had not a British ship of war very opportunely hove in sight when they thought it most prudent to desist. Effectual measures, it is confidently asserted, will be immediately taken for bringing to a sense of duty, the persons who had the temerity to be the principals in this daring insult on government.
WILMINGTON, (Delaware) July 18.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in St. Eustatius, to his friend in this town, June 25.
"I wrote you last by Mr. —, who will be able to satisfy you respecting the prohibition of importing to English islands from neutral or others. The armed vessels will be very rigid in their attention to smugglers, if occasion should require, but so many English vessels will be prepared for the American trade, that they will be fully supplied; if the Convention does not impose some severe restrictions—True, there will be a small trade left to two or three inconsiderable islands, but by no means adequate to halt the American vessels—I am clear it is immaterial what name or appearance trade may have, it is the intention of the British parliament to distress us, and as we have not unanimity or spirit to oppose them, calculate for retirement."
P R O V I D E N C E, July 28.
Extract of a letter from Great Barrington, dated July 12, 1787.
"Since the Troops employed under the Command of Col. NEWELL, have been dismissed, nothing of importance has taken place here, except the Liberation of the Prisoners, amounting to 13, and the carrying off the Field Piece.—The former was effected last Saturday Night, about 10 o'Clock,
by the Treachery of the Centinel, placed at the Gaol, who forming a League with the Prisoners, broke the Lock, and they all escaped, as did the Centinel with them. Among the Prisoners who escaped, was Crettenden, a noted Insurgent, and who was proscribed from Pardon, by the late Act of the General Court—and the Centry and Woman, who were accessory to the Escape of Wilcox and Austin, when confined under sentence of Death for High Treason. As soon as it was discovered, the Troops and some of the Inhabitants, pursued them, and though they could not find them yet found their irons about Three Miles from the Gaol, on the Road to New York State:—On the Monday Evening the Piece of Artillery was observed to be missing, and was pursued by the Troops, about Half a Mile, and re-taken. Whether the Piece was taken by the Friends to Government, to create a Laugh, on the Insurgents is uncertain; however the Presumption is, that it was carried off by some of the Insurgents, as it would be very impolitic for the other Party to commit an Action, the which must alarm the Town."
"I think the Minds of People are much more easy than they have been, yet I cannot but observe, that there was a peculiar Propriety in Government's resolving to raise the Troops: This convinces the Insurgents, that the Legislative Body will not suffer the Government to be trampled on, without raising a Force to oppose those who may be hardy enough to attempt it."
P H I L A D E L P H I A, July 28.
Mustard seed, being a common native of our soil and very good, hath been brought up by our neighbours and carried over to England, in order to be hulled and sent over to us again in little white pots, under the denomination of Durham Mustard: And it was computed, Feb. 21, 1757, that 1863l sterling worth of mustard had been imported from England within the fifteen months then last past. There is, however, one useful discovery lately made here, which it were doing injustice to the country not to take notice of, viz. That it has hitherto been asserted by some of the best authorities, that the oil of mustard, by expression, was altogether mild and void of acrimony, like the oil of sweet almonds; it is now discovered and demonstrated, that not an insipid but a sharp oil, and possessed of the acrimony proper to the mustard, and useful both in sallads and in medicine, is expressed from the seed powdered, and put into bags, by the mere mechanical force of the wedge, in a mill, and without any heat. This discovery the public owes to James Every, merchant in Dublin.
B O S T O N, August 8.
We think it necessary thus timely to remind our readers, on the 16th of October last, Congress resolved, "That no foreign copper coin whatsoever, shall, after the first of September, 1787, be current within the United States: And that no copper coin struck under the authority of a particular State, shall pass at a greater value than one federal dollar for two pounds and one quarter of a pound avoirdupois weight of such copper coin."
The report lately raised, that the light coppers were cried down by authority is without foundation.
The great progress which is making towards the completion of the bridge, now building across Myrick River, is really surprising, and shews that no undertaking is to be deserted or neglected, by Americans, from an apprehension that its stupendous dimensions are greater than can be encircled. Already we are assured, near two thirds of the piers are sunken, and that the work will be completed by the beginning of November next.
N E W B U R Y P O R T, August 8.
The thieves who lately broke open the store of Stephen Hooper, Esq. in this town, were apprehended at Old York, and proved to be three negroes, who came in there in a boat with several swivels and said they came from Nova-Scotia. One of them, a very stout, strong made fellow, pretending he was lame, the sheriff took them on board a large deck'd-boat to proceed to this town; but the wind being contrary, they put into Portsmouth, from whence they proceeded by land with two of them, leaving the one who pretended lameness on board the boat under the care of Capt. Low of York, who had only a woman and a boy on board, beside the negro, who was hand-cuffed—On Thursday night last, about four or five miles from Newbury-Bar, the negro caught up an ax and aimed a blow at Capt. Low, who evaded it, and took up a hatchet, with which
he kept the negro off for some time—but the negro swearing that the vessel was his—that he would kill them all if they were thrice as strong—that he would neither give nor take quarter, and he never would be carried alive into Newbury-Port—Capt. Low finding he must either kill him or submit to be murdered by him, called for his gun, and presenting it to the fellow's breast, again offered him quarter, but he still persisting in his threats, with the ax raised over his head, the Capt. fired and killed him on the spot—previous to this they had several scuffles, in which the Capt. received some slight wounds & bruises.—Capt. Low on coming into this harbor, immediately informed of what had happened; upon which a Jury of Inquest was summoned, whose verdict was. Justifiable Homicide, and Capt. Low was accordingly dismissed.
P O R T S M O U T H, August 11.
Congress resolved, the 6th ult. That the board of treasury direct the contractor for the copper coinage, to stamp on one side of each piece the following device, viz. Thirteen circles linked together, a small circle in the middle with the words, "United States," round it, and in the centre, the words, "We are One," on the other side of the same piece the following devices, viz. A dial with the hours expressed on the face of it, a meridian sun above, on one side of which is to be the word, "Fugio," and on the other, the year in figures, "1787," below the dial, the words, "mind your business."
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, July 27.
"The Convention, after very close application to business for more than two months, adjourned yesterday until the first Monday in August, leaving Mr. Rutledge, Mr. Randolph, Mr. Gorham, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Ellsworth, a Committee to sit in the recess."
Congress on the 18th ult. accepted, approved, ratified, and confirmed the Treaty of PEACE and FELLOWSHIP, established between the United States of America, and the Emperor of Morocco.
Died at Newport, Rhode Island, JOHN MANLY, Esq. lately employed in the service of the United States, who he served with diligence and fidelity, being a firm whig and an honest man.

On the sudden death of an only daughter and only sister, who lately dy'd at Kittery,—OLIVE PEARCE, a child 6 years of age.
OLIVIA, beauteous, lovely girl! Upon her parents smil'd, Added to ev'ry rising joy, And all their cares beguil'd. Her form from nature's nicest mould, Did ev'ry charm disclose, Her face was as the lilly fair, And blooming as the rose. Her mind with each soft grace endu'd, Outwent her early prime; For ah! the tender flow'ret pin'd, And dy'd before its time. Commission'd by her heav'ly sire, In grief's distressing hour, Death's fatal minister came down, And cropt the beauteous flow'r. Thus the young OLIVE, lovely plant! In some gay rural scene, By living fountains, and cool shades, Crown'd with perpetual green, Shoots forth its tender blooms around, (The gardner's pride and care) And with enriching balmy sweets, Perfumes the ambient air. When lo! fierce whirlwinds from above, The lovely plant surprize; Uprooted from its native bed, It withers, droops and dies. So dy'd this lovelier flow'r! yet cease To cherish fruitless woes! Since what once bloom'd, and wither'd here, In HEAV'N unfading blows.

Intelligence Extraordinary!
The authority of which need not be doubted, as your informant was personally present at part of the tragical scene, which most horribly affrighted him, as well as every other spectator who was present, he therefore hopes if he has mistaken any of the facts, by means of his sudden surprize, the public will be pleased to wick them by, however, as nearly as I can recollect will relate,—being lately called on to transact some business at Exeter, soon after I arrived, in passing through the main street leading by the water, to my great surprize I discovered a monster of an enormous size, which so surprized me, that I was for some moments struck entirely speechless, but thank God for all things, I recovered, and upon viewing the unsuspected visage, found his height to be about fifteen feet, but of what compound or complexion, God only knows, as when viewing him in front he appeared to be a compound of black and white, but upon viewing him on another quarter, he had the ghastly appearance of a ghost, this sudden transition led me to enquire the meaning of the appearance of so uncommon a monster, when I was informed they believed it was WILT, begot by a raging red lion , upon the body of an — and was every way calculated to fight, kill and destroy, which led me to observe his movements, but could not discover that he attempted to harm any while I was present, but seemed to approach as I thought with great fury two of your brother type, who, I have since been informed, was attacked by him with the greatest fury for the space of fifteen minutes, when his horrid roaring made all shudder, and extended his carnivorous jaws as though he would devour them at a mouthful, but happy for them, his limits were fixed by the length of his chain, or I fear you would have had the unnatural death of your two brethren to have published, as falling victims to the rapacious fury of a monster whose equal never before appeared in Hampton, Exeter or Portsmouth . Londonderry, Aug. 9.
FOR THE NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE. MR. PRINTER,
IT must give great satisfaction to every friend to the government to find the late impost act published in your paper, to be perfectly just, and the greater part of it constitutional, instead of its being retrospective, unconstitutional and arbitrary, as has been represented by a certain class of people;—these men would do well attentively to read over this act, the style is as clear as words can make it, and it appears to have been draughted with unusual care and circumspection, 'all bonds given for impost duties shall be, &c.' has this clause a retrospective view? if any idea of this kind had existed, the language would have been 'all bonds that have been given, &c.' every body that can read, must know that sentence only refers to obligations hereafter made, especially as we are very sensible, that our General-Court would not, nor ever did make any laws that interfered with past contracts—nobody but enemies to the laws, and those who do not love to pay duties, can make any objections to this most excellent act, it certainly is a great improvement in politics and will in future save the expence and vexation of lawsuits; and it must be viewed as an introductory step to a more decisive way of recovering debts than the old fashioned method of trial by jury—how much money would be saved to the parties if this plan should be kept up and improved on, and an officer, suppose the treasurer, or any body else, should be appointed to issue extents on all public and private bonds, notes of hand and accounts—although it might often happen that there was nothing due on many of these obligations, yet as the party who applies for the extent might be in very great want of money, it would on the present most enlarged principles of justice be perfectly right that he should have it, unless some better plea could be offered than the old stale one of off sitting mutual demands , or that the debt has been paid. If it were necessary to say any thing further in favour of this impost act, it might be added, that it is well calculated to keep down a certain set of men called merchants and traders, these men unless some method had been taken to ease them of their money, and to throw every difficulty and embarrassment in their way, would soon have become, from the present amazing profits of trade, so rich and powerful, as to form a dangerous aristocracy that might in a short time overthrow our constitution and government.
RICHMOND, (Virginia) July 19. Saturday night last, some person or persons yet unknown, set fire to the prison at New Kent court house, after which they proceeded to the clerk's office, (about two miles distant from the prison) and set fire to that also, which contained all the papers, records, &c. belonging to the county, and burnt both to the ground.
FOR THE NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE, (Continued from our last.)
TO THE PUBLIC. T HE ways of God are wonderful and lie, Beyond the deepest reach of mortal eye.
What finite wit, can the wise reason trace, Why learning to ignorance should give place? Or why, a crafty cruel tory it's decreed, To an honest, humane whig should succeed? Why of office justus was at first depriv'd, And since vacant, like cruelty reviv'd? Why an untutor'd savage should him supplant, And of his post and living take the grant? Or why, when a patriot is inter'd, A traitor, to his high trust, is prefer'd? Supremely bles'd and pleas'd, that he is dead, On whose tomb, he rears his malignant head! Crown'd with public honor's golden feather, Whose precious finance holds together, The soul and body, and more strongly binds What the hypostatic union joins.
In vain are our natures thus connected, Unless they are nourish'd and protected, With food and raiment duly cloth'd and fed, And thro' lifes hard pilgrimage daily led. But wo to him, who indigent and forlorn! Is of tories, traitors and infidels the scorn!
Heaven alone can the just reason give, Which dooms us when to die, how long to live; Whether in painful sickness, or in health; Whether in pinching penury or wealth: Instructs us how frail are all human things, And with beggars levels Judges and Kings.
As alwise providence directs the die, So we superior stand, or prostrate lie. Or bles'd with Hagar's happier will enjoy, A state free from pride or envy's base alloy: Whose just taste prefer'd the prudent mean, Temping riches and poverty between.
So when Scylla and Charibdis appears, The wary mariner cautious steers The middle course, with all his art to shun The danger he on either side must run; And to escape the fatal rock and gulf, Strains every nerve from both to keep alof; Veering and plying with oars, sails and ropes, To save himself and crew, and all their hopes.
