" Eunice Purdy, of Eye, in the said County, " Spinster, being duly sworn upon the Holy Evange- " lists of Almighty God, deposeth and saith that, on or "about the second of September instant, Godfrey " Hains was at Daniel Purdy's, at Bye, and in conversation, at that time, said he understood that the " Committee or Congress had made a law to oblige all " to train under them ; and that, ' damn them, if they " ' came after him, they should either kill him or he " ' would kill some of them ; and that, dead or alive, " 'he would be revenged ; 2 and that he had enough " ' in his pocket, then, for five or six of them.' That "he also damned the Congresses and Committees, " frequently, and said that he had as leave be in hell

1 It will be seen, by reference to the list of those who were proscribed, (page 114, (mte,) that Godfrey Haines's name was not on it, as it was originally written -- it was "added" to that list "on Saturday " evening."

2 This remark very clearly indicated that, when Godfrey made these violent remarks, he was smarting from wrongs already inflicted on himself or on those who were dear to him, by those of the revolutionary faction in Westchester-county or by those, from Connecticut, under General Wooster or others, who had come into the County, for the support of the Rebellion.
