Deponent could not see them, without following them to Albany; as said Grout told him (the Deponent) That Whiting had not Promised to Tarry at Hinsdale longer than tuesday noon: And likely would then set out for Albany. (That the Inferiour Court of Common Pleas was then sitting at Springfield, in which Court the Deponant had a Cause then Depending, and was obliged to attend the Tryal; which prevented the Deponent from arriving at Hinsdale untill Tuesday night, When Whiting had moved with the Deponents said Sons, (agreable to what Mr Grout had before told the Deponent) from Hinsdale across the woods toward Albany That on the Deponents arriving at Brattleborough the next morning he saw Judge Wells, and understanding by him, and others That the Process issued from the Court of admiralty aforesaid was against the Deponent, as well as against his Sons--The Deponent asked said Wells's advice: And he advised the Deponent to go to the City of New York, Immediately & surrender himself to the Marshal, & take tryal with his said Sons. That on this Morning, News came to the Deponent & said Wells, of a Party of men that had followed the said Whiting, & said Prisoners, The said Wells with Mr Arms the then high Sheriff, set out on horseback to Disperse the People: And both said Wells and Arms shew'd a great Disposition to prevent any Violence &¢ and appeared much concerned at hearing that the people, in a Tumult had followed as aforesaid. 'This Deponent thinks he has every reason to believe that said Wells was offended, & even Griev'd, that the People was assembled in that Tumult, and that the Zeal that the said Wells & Arms shew'd on that occasion, leaves no Doubt in the mind of this Deponent, but that they would run every risque to Disperse the People.
