A sketch OF Coram, L.. 4.

Some time when Lord Cornbury was
Governor of the Province of New York,
and Nathaniel Pien was own clerk a,
Coram, on the Island OF Nassau, or Long
Island IN the said province, a notable case
came up before the justice who at tina,
time kept the peace at Coram. The de.
tails Of this are partly collected from town
records, part from the antiquarian re-
searches Of the historian of Long Island,
and from the quaint and singular dis
courses which Judge Benson delivered,
10 their grea, edifcaiion before ,ha. learn
ed body, The New York Historical Soci.
