would take him bark to town
and punifb him. They forced
him along with them *bout (wo
miles back. A number of rc(-1
peftable gentlemen heard of the
alLiir, mounted their horfcs,and
ailived in fcafon to proteft Mr.
Ogden from further ahufe.

Ogden had been repeatedly
threatened, infulted, and abufed
by the foldiers, who were exci
ted and led on by ceitain men
of influence, and by proffers of
liberal portions of fpirituous li
