[Council to Col. Robosson.]

In Council 1st Septr 1777.
Sir
We are informed that several of the Militia of Capt John
Hammonds who are of the first Class & to march in Capt
Owens's Company, have not only refused to join the Company
to march, but have entered into a Confederacy to oppose by
Force any compulsory Measures which may be made use of to
compel them to do their Duty. We shall reluctantly and only
from Necessity exert the Authority entrusted to us to the
extent of it, but shall certainly not suffer such a Conduct, if
persisted in, to go unpunished. We therefore wish you to
endeavour to convince these Men of their Error, and to let
them know that if necessary, we shall set in Motion an ample
Force to compel them to obey the Law and defend their
Country; but if Persuasion has not the desired Effect, you are
hereby authorized to make use of Force and for this Purpose
