With this title, joined to fifty-three years possession, our churchwardens did serve three ejectments upon the three tenants, and the Calvinists entered defendants, and on the 15th day of September last we had a trial at the Supreme Court, when the Jury brought their verdict in favor of our Church, upon which the attorneys of the Calvinists' party offered a bill of exception : so that we must wait the issue of said bill at the Supreme Court at New York, to be held the 18th day of this hist. We have to deal with very stubborn and litigious people, which make me afraid they will not be contented before they have brought us before all the different tribunals; and by that means deprive me of all the benefits of the land, which causes me a great prejudice. The congregation is very unanimous and in good harmony, ready to defend their right to the last, seeing the Calvinists will not agree upon any terms of peace proposed to them by our Church ; but we are in hopes the strong bleeding of their purse will bring them to an agreement after New York Court.

Keverend Sir, yours, &c,
