The place of the meeting at which this committee was appointed was probably Bolton and Sigell's inn (later Fraunces' tavern, still standing at the corner of Broad and Pearl Streets) for it was here that the later meetings were held; the time of the meeting was probably Wednesday, Dec. 30, for on Tuesday, Dec. 29, a meeting of "The principal Knot, of the Friendly Brothers of St. Patrick, in the XVIth Regiment of Foot" was announced for Bolton and Sigell's, and it seems unlikely that two meetings would be held in the tavern on the same evening. The report of the committee was to have been presented on Jan. 25, but the meeting called for that evening was adjourned to Feb. 2 on account of the bad weather.

Word (A) of Advice.
Mark well the Barretor [sic]! replete with Pride,
Who daily strives the People to misguide,
Religion prostitutes, for basest Ends,

And sows Dissention, twixt the dearest Friends;
He could tamely see his country's wrongs,
And brand with Treason, Liberty's brave Sons;
Who basely strove with more than common Pains
To banish Freedom, and to fix our Chains.
Mark well this Rule, by Heav'nly Wisdom plan'd,
"That a divided House can never stand."
Firmly united, you may brave each Fiend,
But if divided, Freedom's at an End;
As direful Mischiefs do from discord flow,
Unite in Time, against this common Foe,
Convince the Wretch that all his Arts are vain,
That his vile Purpose he shall ne'er obtain,
This once prevent him, in his enterprise,
He'll fall like Lucifer, no more to rise.

THE ELECTION OF 1769.

Anecdote (An), Recommended to the Friends. It is an old Observation, that the People readily suspect others of those Crimes and Designs, which they find most prevalent in Themselves. [An anecdote of the success of the Presbyterians in New Jersey in opposing a Friend that was a candidate for the assembly, by preaching that the Quakers held opinions unfavorable to religion.]... The Independents take as much Pains now to traduce the Church, as they did then to asperse the Friends,-probably for the like Reasons.--It is absurd to suppose, that the Security of religious Liberty, is the Reason of their Efforts to gain a Majority in the Assembly; and it is equally absurd, to suppose that Men who thus wantonly sport with

Religion, making it a cloak for the mo t unchristian Designs, should be worthy of public Confidence, or disinterested Guardians of our Rights and Property. [New York, January, 1769.] I page. F°.

himself had observed in the H- ―s of A- -y, (or

Words to that Effect) the Event did not in the least surprise him; on the contrary, it was no more then [sic] what he expected; but at another Election, the dissenting Congregations would put up four Dissenters against four Churchmen...

Jauncey was declared not guilty on Dec. 16, 1768, but a motion moved by James De Lancey that the charge be declared "frivolous, vexatious, and litigious' was negatived by the assembly by a vote of eighteen to three.
