That the Deponent declined to make such Promise, and desired Time to go down to Kinderhook and advise with his Brother, they replied that they had nothing to do with his Brother, and one of them swore that the Deponent should never have any Benefit fromthe Land which Cross had given-up, nor fodder any of the Produce of it. That in the End they gave the Deponent a Fortnight's Time to deliver up the Papers, and told the Deponent; that if he did not do it by that Time, the consequence would be very terrible to him, for they would not come again for nothing ; but it should be such a day to him as he never seen since he was born. That on going away they said they would pay a Visit to Squire Munroe. That Deponent next day applied to the said Justice Munroe, who advised him to consult the Gentlemen of Albany, what was best to be done, That the Deponent hada Meeting at Albany, with the Mayor of Albany, and Justice Blicker, and represented his case to them, That they informed the Deponent, that it was out of their Power to do any thing for him, and he must apply to higher authority. That the Deponent returned back to his House, at Wallumscock, very uneasy, and was then informed that the Rioters had reported that they had applied to him civilly, but that if he did not do as he was ordered, they would come the next time Devil like, and Times should be worse for him.
