Note 364 — Chapter XXIV · 1763. THE PAXTON MEN.
Reading edition
Extract from a MS. Letter—John Hay, the sheriff, to Governor Penn:—
“They in a body left the town without offering any insults to the Inhabitants, & without putting it in the power of any one to take or molest any of them without danger of life to the person attempting it; of which both myself and the Coroner, by our opposition, were in great danger.”
