A peaceable, unresisting Quaker, of considerable respectability, by tbe name of Quiucy, was visited by several of these vile ruffians: they first demanded his money, and after it was delivered they suspected he had more concealed, and inflicted on him the most savage cruelties in order to extort it from him.
