one of the number. We agree that upon searching the Indians's

of the Indians, or whether the Militia were entitled to it in
having recovered it from them, upon which dispute that sum of
money was lodged in the hands of the defendant, to be by him kept
till that point should be settled. We agree that the plaintiff
made an offer of 30 shillings to each of the men who has assisted
in the pursuit of the enemy. We agree that a part of the Company
of Militia made an offer to the plaintiff of delivering up his
negroes and household goods if he would allow them the money. We
agree that the defendant paid the sum of money out of his hands
to the Militia, and that several of them returned their dividends
to the plaintiff amounting to £106, 17, 2. We agree that the
plaintiff paid to several of the captors who returned him their
dividends the sum of 30/, the premium by him before offered for
their service. We agree that if the law, &c. (Signed) Gabrill
Jones, for plaintiff; Peter Hog, for defendant." Hung jury
