45o CORRESPONDENCE AND PUBLIC PAPERS.
subject in that district before, the Judges not having the
Statute there last term. Mr. Morris was strong in favor
and I was not opposing; so we acted as Commissioners and
sent our certificates accordingly (without making any entry
in the book about it) to the Supreme Secretary of War.
At Yorktown [York, Pa.] but one jury cause, which was
short. There had been depending about six and twenty
actions, but rather than go go miles from Phila for trial,
the parties had settled about twenty of them ; one was
tried as aforesaid, and four continued by agreement to next
term for trial at Philadelphia. There we had nothing to do
with the pension list; the like I suppose will be the case in
all places this side the Delaware.
We had a tolerable road to Yorktown, but somewhat cut
with waggons a considerable part of the way, but worse on
our return by reason of some rains which fell. Some excellent inns on that road. Two indictments were found at
Yorktown—one for an insult upon one of the foreign ministers by serving process upon his servant for a debt of
about 5 s.; the other for a violent assault of about 50
persons, in disguise, upon an inspector's office in the western part of Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Cushing is with me now on the route to Dover, a
fine road south of Philadelphia. I am in strong hopes of
the pleasure of seeing you soon, and that your health is
fully restored as I heard of your riding abroad sometime
ago. I hear of causes to be tried in Maryland, and in Virginia, of above a hundred, which will require both your
sedateness and sagacity. At the same time I would not
have you risk your health for a thousand of them. I mean
[to go] from Easton in Maryland for Kent and thence
across the Chesapeake, an 8 or 9 mile ferry, to Annapolis;
of the eyes soon obliged him to return to New York, where, he remained until
early in the following year (1793) before he heard cases at Philadelphia and
Richmond.
