And on Wednesday morn Part of the Company wlio were witli me went to apprehend One William Rees Living in the Man' Livingston another of Nobles Associates, and being Desir'd to open the Door, he Refus'd and swore he would Kill them all upon which one of the Company broke a Board out of the door tiu-o' which Rees then put Ids Gun and snaped It three times at the men who stood before the door, they tlien Rushed in tlie house and Rees got on the Garret, from whence thro' the Ruff he jump'd out and then Snap'd at one Mathew furlong, who shott him thr'o the Body as he was turning about to Shoot Again haveing already Cock'd the Gun, as It now Lies with the Body, furlong Immediately Surrender'd himself to M'" Dirk Broek Justice The Coroner is gone down to Call an Inquest on the Body.

Y*" Honour will Observe By the above Narration how Difficult It is to take those Rioters (who all swear they will be kill'd or kill before they are taken) without Endangering the Lives of Both ourselves and them.

So that witliout some means be found to Indemnify This Furlong for kilhug Rees. we shall never be able to suppress these Rioters as no one will Venture to take them without he knows wether he may shoot a man that Snaps liis Gun at him. The Rioters grow daily more Audacious, haveing now again taken a Constable who has been obliged to Give in Excessive Bail. It can be prov'd that s^ Rees at several times said he would KiU one. and more Especially when the Sheriff was taken, he being one of them tliat took tlic Sheriff.
