P R E S E N T, The Hon. Thomas Tredwell, Esq. Judge of the said Court: WHEREAS Catherine Demott, administratrix of James Demott, late of Newburgh, in the county of Ulster, yeoman, deceased, hath by her petition presented to the said Judge set forth, that the said James Demott, was at the time of his death, seized of a real estate within this State; that the petitioner had made a just and true account of the personal estate and debts of the said James Demott, as far as she had been able to discover the same, and that thereby it appeared that the personal estate of her said intestate was insufficient to pay his debts, and therefore requested the aid of the said Judge in the premises, according to the directions of the act entitled, "An act for the relief of creditors against heirs, devisees, executors and administrators, and for proving wills respecting real estates;" and the said Catherine Demott hath delivered to the said Judge the account in the said petition mentioned: Hereupon it is ordered by the said Judge, that all persons interested in the estate of the said James Demott, do appear before him at the Probate-Office in the city of New-York, on the fifth day of May next, to show cause if any they have, why so much of the real estate whereof the said James Demott died seized, should not be sold as will be sufficient to pay his debts. 1 83 4 THOMAS TREDWELL.

Laws of the State of New-York.
An ACT for the better securing the liberty of the Citizens of this State, and for prevention of imprisonments. Passed the 21st of February, 1787.
WHEREAS great delays have been used by Sheriffs, Gaolers and other Officers, to whose custody persons have been committed for criminal or supposed criminal matters, in making return of writs of Habeas Corpus to them directed, and by other shifts, to avoid their yielding obedience to such writs, contrary to their duty, and the known laws of the land; whereby many persons have been and hereafter may be long detained in prison, in such cases where by law they are bailable, to their great charges and vexation: For the prevention whereof, and the more speedy relief of all persons imprisoned for any such criminal, or supposed criminal matters.
I. Be it enacted by the People of the State of New-York, represented in Senate and Assembly, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That whensoever any person or persons shall bring any Habeas Corpus directed to any Sheriff, Gaoler, Minister, or other person or persons whatsoever, for any person in his or their custody; and the said writ shall be served upon the said officer, or other person or persons, or left at the gaol or prison, with any of the under officers, under keepers, or deputy of the said officer, or keepers; that the said officer or officers, his or their under officers, under keepers or deputies, or other person or persons, shall within three days after the service thereof as aforesaid (unless the commitments aforesaid were for treason or felony, plainly and especially expressed in the warrant of commitment) upon payment or tender of charges of bringing the said prisoner, to be ascertained by the Judge or Court that awarded the same, and endorsed upon the said writ, not exceeding twelve pence per mile; and upon security given by his own bond, to pay the charges of carrying back the prisoner, if he shall be remanded by the Court or Judge, to which he shall be brought, according to the true intent of this act, and that he will not make any escape by the way, make return of such writ, and bring or cause to be brought the body of the party so committed or restrained, unto or before the Chancellor of this State for the time being, or the Justices of the Supreme Court, or unto or before such of them before whom the said writ is made returnable, according to the command thereof, and shall then likewise certify the true causes of his detainer or imprisonment, unless the commitment of the said party be in a place beyond the distance of twenty miles from the place or places where such Court or person is, or shall be residing; and if beyond the distance of twenty miles, and not above one hundred miles, then within the space of ten days, and if beyond the distance of one hundred miles, then within the space of twenty days after such delivery as aforesaid, and not longer. And to the intent that no Sheriff, Gaoler or other officer, may pretend ignorance of the import of any such writ;
II. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That all such writs shall be marked in this manner by the statute, and be signed by the person that awards the same; and if any person or persons shall be or stand committed, or detained as aforesaid, for any crime, unless for treason or felony plainly expressed in the warrant of commitment, in the vacation time, and out of term, it shall and may be lawful to and for the person or persons so committed or detained (other than persons convicted, or in execution by legal process) or any one, on his, or their behalf, to apply or complain to the Chancellor, or any one of the Justices of the Supreme Court, and the said Chancellor or Justices, or any of them, upon view of the copy or copies of the warrant or warrants of commitment and detainer, or otherwise, upon oath made that such copy or copies were denied to be given by such person or persons in whose custody the prisoner or prisoners is, or are detained, are hereby authorized and required, upon request made in writing by such person or persons, or any, on his, her, or their behalf, attested and subscribed by two witnesses who were present at the delivery of the same, to award and grant an Habeas Corpus, under the seal of such Court whereof he shall then be one of the Judges, to be directed to the officer or officers or person or persons in whose custody the party so committed or detained, shall be returnable immediately before the said Chancellor or Justice of the said Supreme Court; and upon service thereof as aforesaid, the officer or officers, his or their under officer, or under officers, under keeper, or under keepers, or their deputy, or person or persons in whose custody the party is so committed or detained, shall, within the times respectively before limited, bring such prisoner or prisoners before the said Chancellor, or Justices of the said Supreme Court, or one of them, before whom the said writ is made returnable; and in case of his absence, before any other of them, with the return of such writ and the true causes of the commitment and detainer, and thereupon within two days after the party shall be brought before them, the said Chancellor or such Justice, before whom the prisoner shall be brought as aforesaid, shall discharge the said prisoner from his imprisonment, taking his or their recognizance, with one or more surety or sureties, in any sum according to their discretions, having regard to the quality of the
prisoner and nature of the offence, for his or their appearance in the Supreme Court the term following, or at the next General Sessions or Gaol Delivery, of and for such county, city or place, where the commitment was, or where the offence was committed, or in such other court, where the said offence is properly cognizable, as the case shall require; and shall then certify the said writ, with the return thereof, and the said recognizance or recognizances, into the said Court when such appearance is to be made, unless it shall appear unto the said Chancellor or Justice or Justices, that the party so committed, is detained upon a legal process, order or warrant, out of some Court that hath jurisdiction of criminal matters, or by some warrant signed and sealed with the hand and seal of any of the said Justices, or some Justice or Justices of the peace, for such matters or offences, for the which by the law the prisoner is not bailable. But if any person shall have wilfully neglected by the space of two whole terms after his imprisonment, to pray a Habeas Corpus for his enlargement, such person so wilfully neglecting, shall not have any Habeas Corpus to be granted in vacation time, in pursuance of this act.
III. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if any officer or officers, his or their under officer or under officers, under keeper or under keepers, or deputy, or other person or persons, shall neglect or refuse to make the returns aforesaid, or to bring the body or bodies of the prisoner or prisoners, according to the command of the said writ, within the respective times aforesaid, or upon demand made by the prisoner, or any person in his behalf, shall refuse to deliver, or within the space of six hours after demand shall not deliver to the person so demanding a true copy of the warrant or warrants of commitment, and detainer of such prisoner, which he and they are hereby required to deliver accordingly; all and every the head gaolers and keepers of such prisons, and such other person or persons in whose custody the prisoner shall be detained, shall for the first offence, forfeit to the prisoner or party grieved, the sum of one hundred pounds, and for the second offence the sum of two hundred pounds, and shall if an officer be and is hereby made incapable to hold or execute his said office: The said penalties to be recovered by the prisoner or party grieved, his or her executors or administrators, against such offender, his executors or administrators, by action of debt, suit, bill, plaint or information in any Court of Record, wherein no privilege, injunction or stay of prosecution by non vult ultra-vius prosequi, or otherwise, shall be admitted or allowed, or any more than one imparlance. And any recovery or judgment at the suit of any party grieved, shall be a sufficient conviction for the first offence; and any after recovery or judgment at a suit of a party grieved, for any offence after the first judgment, shall be a sufficient conviction to bring the officers, or person or persons, within the said penalty for the second offence.

To the Inhabitants of Kings County, Long-Island.
THE time of chusing your Representatives approaches fast—it is therefore necessary that you should turn your thoughts to that business, that you may be enabled to return fit men.
You have hitherto been too lukewarm and indifferent on this subject, although confessedly of the greatest importance, and to this indifference of disposition, it has been owing that you have twice delegated a man who has neither property nor connections of any consequence, and who is altogether destitute of those qualifications which might compensate for the want of them: In short, it is a truth too obvious, that in the choice lately made by the county, the electors have taken infinite pains to select the most trifling persons to act for them, in matters of the greatest importance; indeed it would appear by the returns you have made to the Legislature, that you have been industrious to bring disgrace on that part of the State which you possess. The men that you have at present in the Legislature, will consent to be reckoned fools for 14 shillings a day—they have ignorance and confidence sufficient to be seen in the seat of judgment, and just sense enough to laugh at your credulity for placing them there. To say nothing of the incapacity of the B-yne member, to render you any real service, has he not deceived and disappointed you—did he not pledge himself to several men of county importance to bring forward the dog bill. Surely, if there was a subject on earth to which he could speak it was this; few men are such Ases, but that they can say something on a whelpish subject—Did he not contrary to the interest and disposition of the county, and without consulting his constituents, advocate in all its stages the negroe bill (I mean with his vote, for his legislative abilities extend no farther than yea and nay) and by doing so, make a sacrifice of your property without your consent. There will be several candidates for your approbation this election; with whose comparative merits you are well acquainted. One only of these candidates you have not sufficient knowledge of; I mean Colonel Giles of Flat Bush; as he has none of that influence which arises from consanguinity or intermarriage, it is necessary his competence should exist in another way, and that his pretensions should be generally known.—The
exertions of this gentleman to raise the county (by the most useful and honorable institutions) to that degree of respectability to which, without vanity, it might aspire, have been conspicuous. His services and the share he had in promoting the late revolution, give him no inconsiderable claim; he holds a very respectable property in the county; this entitles him to a due degree of consideration; he has abilities which will enable him to state the relative value of the county, in such manner as I have no doubt will induce the Legislature to be more equitable in the apportionment of taxes.—I might say more on this subject, but I conceive it unnecessary.—Assert therefore, ye honest independent Dutchmen, without hesitation, and exercise without fear, the power you possess of appointing men whose characters and conduct merit your notice—dismiss the present members, at any rate the B-yne motion maker.—Be assured you will have no occasion to regret the appointment of Col. Giles—He is a man of understanding—he will do honor to your choice—and though he has not learnt to solicit your votes with the conduct of a spaniel, he will nevertheless promote your interests, with the conduct and spirit of a gentleman.
I make no apology, gentlemen, for giving you my advice on this business—I have an interest in the prosperity and reputation of the county, and for that reason I apprehend I have a right to give my opinion—I have done it freely and without any interested motives on several occasions before, and shall probably continue to do so, whenever I think it may have any the least tendency to be useful—I never have solicited any personal favour from you, and as long as I continue in the same mind I am at present, it is not likely that I ever shall—I have nothing to hope from you gentlemen, & as little to fear.—If you like my counsel, I shall be happy to see you adopt it—if not, you will of course take your own. A Kings County Freeholder.
BOSTON. March 23.
By last Saturday night's mail, his Excellency Governor Bowdoin received the following letter from his Excellency Benjamin Franklin, Esq. President of the Supreme Executive Council of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, March, 6, 1787.
SIR,
I RECEIVED the letter your Excellency did me the honor lately to write me, respecting your proclamation, for apprehending several promoters of the rebellion in your State. The proclamation was immediately printed in our news-papers; and the matter being laid before the Council and Assembly, it was thought fit to make an addition to the rewards your Government had offered, which will be done, though the usual forms of proceeding have occasioned some delay.
I congratulate your Excellency most cordially on the happy success attending the wise and vigorous measures, taken for the suppression of that dangerous insurrection; and I pray most heartily for the future tranquility of the State which you so worthily and happily govern. Its constitution, is, I think, one of the best in the Union, perhaps I might say, in the world. And I persuade myself, that the good sense and sound understanding predominant among the great majority of your people, will always secure it from the mad attempts to overthrow it; which can only proceed from the wickedness or from the ignorance of a few, who while they enjoy it, are insensible of its excellence.
With sincere and great esteem and respect, I have the honor to be, Sir, your Excellency's most obedient and most humble servant, B. FRANKLIN. His Excellency Governor BOWDOIN.
PENNSYLVANIA.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY, March 1, 1787.
A LETTER from the Honorable the Vice President of the Supreme Executive Council, was presented to the chair and read, as follows: In COUNCIL, Philadelphia, 26th Feb. 1787.
SIR,
I inclose a letter from the Governor of Massachusetts, accompanied by an extract from the proceedings of the General Court of that Commonwealth.
I have also to communicate the opinion of Council that a reward of one hundred pounds, for DANIEL SHAYS, and fifty pounds for each of the other principals mentioned in Governor Bowdoin's proclamation, additional to the rewards we are requested to offer on the credit of Massachusetts, be offered by this Commonwealth, if apprehended within the limits thereof. We should be happy if this opinion should meet the approbation of the House. I am, Sir, with great regard, your obedient and very humble servant, CHARLES BIDDLE, V. P. Hon. the SPEAKER of the General Assembly.
Last Sunday night, Major Samuel Cookson arrived in town from camp at Pittsfield. Nothing remarkable has occurred since General Lincoln left that place.
Major Cookson informs, that not less than 700 families, inhabitants of the three western counties of this Commonwealth, have, within about six weeks past, removed into the State of Vermont.
Extract of a letter, dated Springfield, March 9. The disqualifying act will never go down. Even our firmest friends, and most active citizens, think the cords of justice are drawn too tight—and they judge from a knowledge of the dispositions, motives, number, and condition of the persons whom it affects. In some towns there are not men enough qualified by this law, for town officers;—this must tend more to irritate their minds than to bring them to a sense of their duty. I should, for my part, wish that it had not been so severe—and have yet my hopes, that some mean will be devised to lay that spirit which I know some of the insurgents possess, and which I am certain, will never submit patiently to force."

Extract of a letter from Halifax, March 2, 1787, received by the Sloop Frank, which arrived on the 20th inst.
"I am but lately arrived in this province, from Europe; and am sensible you would be pleas'd to hear from me; but as I have but a few moments to write, will in a few words give you an unexaggerated idea of my situation here.—Tho' small the town, yet settled near forty years, it is a miserable country; not able to give the necessaries of life, much less the luxuries; not even an apple does it yield; Boston market is our great, nay only resource, for mutton, poultry and fruit; New-York sends us oysters and flour, Ireland pork and butter: and under Heaven (tho' an army and navy with us) there is not worse wines, &c. than here; this is but the smallest part of its miseries; for the want of cash, strange as it may appear to you, crowns them. I have done some considerable business since my arrival here, and gain'd but little. My bare fuel, is not considered extravagant at 20l. this currency per year; butter is 17 1/2 per lb. veal 10d. mutton the same; and in fine, it would require from three to four hundred a year to subsist as comfortable here, as I did at home, when doing considerably less business; but my tarry here will be short; very few sensible or sentimental people among them, except the King's Officers.
"I have never been in any part of the States, my friends, but from the idea I entertain of them, confirmed by the information of many gentlemen of respectability from your country, (who casually visit here) I envy your situation; you abound in all the good things of this life; you are independent, the greatest of all earthly blessings to a man of spirit: Though you may not be at the receipts of making large sums, yet I declare to you on honor, notwithstanding the hue and cry that prevails here, of the embarrassments under which the land you are now in labours, I would heartily prefer it to this; tho' great ALL their boasted encouragements and gasconade.
"I will close, by informing you, that to be eligible for a member of the House of Assembly, Justice of the Peace, &c. &c. it is necessary that the long Oath be taken; which I am confident, will not accord with your liberal idea of religion; but ambition and emulation will always influence sinister men; and it does in this place, more than any other I ever was in."
On Saturday evening the 27th inst. a gentleman lately belonging to the army, arrived at Boston from Northfield, in the county of Hampshire—By him we learn that several towns in Vermont, which lie near the line of Hampshire county, give asylum and protection to the rebels, who continue assembled therein, and threaten to return, and burn and destroy the property of the friends to government, as soon as the warm weather will admit of their taking the field in force. That the Days are the principal leaders of these rebels—That the distillers and defeaters which they have met with, have served only to whet their appetites for revenge—and that it is the opinion of those who have been steadily attached to government, and who have made the most astonishing exertions for its support, that nothing but the operation of strict justice on a considerable number of the principals, will ever bring the rebels to a sense of their duty. This gentleman likewise informs, that the troops already raised for the four months service amount to about 600, who are formed into two regiments, one of which, commanded by Col. Newel, is posted at Pittsfield; the other, by Col. Badlam, at Northfield, excepting one company which lies at Northampton.
A person, we are told, arrived in Boston a few days since, directly from Canada, who says, he lodged at a house, on Isle Aux Noix, near St. John's, at which Shays, Wiley, and other rebels, who had fled thither from that State quartered—where he was informed, that these leaders had sent a petition to Lord Dorchester, praying for aid and protection; but that his Lordship had returned for answer, that persons of their description, who had recently been enemies to Great Britain, and were now rebels against the cause, they then espoused, must not expect to receive assistance from Canada; but that if they took refuge in a certain district in that province, (a sanctuary for debtors, vagabonds, &c.) they would while they remained therein, be free from arrests.
A letter from Demarara, dated Jan. 28, received by a gentleman at Providence, Rhode-Island, has the following paragraph:—"A ship is just arrived from Holland, with orders from the States of Holland and the West-India Company, to fit out small vessels to guard the coast, and she lays in the mouth of the river, to search vessels—and any one that has to the amount of 100 guilders in coffee, cotton and sugar, the goods are condemned, and 300 guilders fine upon each hoghead or bag—so that these new laws stop entirely the collection of all kinds of produce except rum, and that is very scarce.
"I do not expect to sail 'til the last of February, except something new turns up in favor of the Americans, which is daily expected. The Governor and leading men are planters, and cannot long subsist without the American supplies."
Married on Saturday evening last, by the Rev. Dr. Kuntze, Mr. JOHN MEYER, merchant of this city, to Miss MARGARET GRIM, eldest daughter of Mr. David Grim.

On Tuesday morning the important question for declaring the Independence of Vermont, was debated in the House of Assembly. In the afternoon when the question was called for, it was carried in the Affirmative, as follows;  Messrs. C. Livingston, Speaker, Hamilton, Bayard, Ray, Bancker, Brooks, Doughty, Jones, Wyckoff, E. Clark, Crane, Savage, Griffin, Lockwood, Rockwell, Purdy, J. Livingston, Thorn, Frost, C. Smith, Sickles, Havens, Dongan, Powers, I. Smith, Taylor, Glenn, Osborn, Bronck, Tomkins, Lansing. 32.

East-Hampton, Feb. 26, 1787.  On the night of the 16th instant, between eleven and twelve o'clock; a fire broke out in a barn belonging to Mr. Recompence Sheril, which was very soon laid in ashes, with its contents, consisting of a quantity of hay, some corn, &c. One horse also perished in the flames.  During this conflagration, a fire was discovered in the Academy, which was soon extinguished without much damage.  It is difficult to account for the burning of the barn—but, more so, for that of the Academy, unless we suppose that it was set on fire designedly;—an idea which, for the honor of humanity, we are very unwilling to admit.  It may be worth observing, that, in a week and one day, from the burning of the barn, another of the same dimensions, was completely framed and raised, from timber that was standing but the week before; and that the whole was done out of generosity to the sufferer, by his charitable neighbours.
Died, at East-Hampton, on the 7th of Feb. Mr. SAMUEL BUELL jun. only surviving son of the Rev. Samuel Buell, in the 16th years of his age. The candid will not be displeased that, for the sake of his lamenting friends, we tell the sympathetic reader, that this amiable youth was the only son of a fondly affectionate parent, and that he left one only sister, with a heart susceptible to the utmost bitterness of such a loss!—That he was a person of distinguished merit and singular ingenuity;—that he was one of the fairest plants, and of the first standing in the rising seminary in East-Hampton; that he was greatly esteemed by his acquaintance,—sincerely beloved by his friends, and most tenderly lamented by his Tutors and fellow students.—Let those who have felt bereavements, judge what he must feel, who, in advanced age, has lost this son,—and what the tender female must undergo to be forever separated from such a brother!—yet Heaven has taught them to submit with truly Christian resignation.  Dearly beloved, and most lamented youth! The best of blessings we in their reign,—Genius and virtue; piety and truth In sweetest harmony,—for these were thine.
