" as he formerly broke the Jail, in this City, and made " his escape ; " and, at the same time, directing that Committee to " appoint some person whom you shall " think proper, to supply them with the necessaries of " life, at their own expense, if they can pay for them ; " and if they cannot, at the public expense." 1 Agreeably to that prayer, a special Guard of Grenadiers was placed over Godfrey and his two fellow-prisoners ; and the Committee, in Kingston, said, " they will be " safe, we think." 2

The subsequent career of Godfrey Haines, as far as it is known, can be told in few words -- the severity of the treatment which he had received and which he continued to receive broke down his health ; and the Committee of Ulster-county was applied to, to permit him to be removed from his close confinement and to have " the liberty of the house," until he should have recovered his health and strength. Permission was accordingly given for his liberation from his manacles and his close imprisonment ; and, very evidently, the sympathy of those who held him in custody was turned toward him far enough to permithim to escape. 3 We have found nothing further concerning him.

There were other arrests in Westchester-county similar to that of Godfrey Haines, one of which, that of Elijah Weeks, was followed by an attempt to rescue him, by an armed force, among the latter of whom were Isaac Gedney, Junior,* William Nelson, 5 Joshua Boyea, Joshua Ferris, 6 Bartholomew Haines, 7 Elijah Haines, William Haines, and John Haines, the person^ who made the arrest having been Job Haddon, of Harrison Precinct, Benjamin Morrell, of New York, and Isaac Sniffen, of Rye-neck. 8
