the inhabitants of Boston, when they had surrender
ed their arms and put themselves wholly in the power
of military commander relying upon his faith then
pledged that they should Immediately depart the town
with their effects, as stipulated which was SOON
done than they not only refused to carry out the
most valuable part of those effects, but their persons

men, divers of those articles, it were, under your
