[Council to C. Rumsey.]

In Council 19^th Dec^r 1777.
Sir.
Englehart Yeiser has exhibited to us a Complaint, on Oath,
against Thomas Higgins of Cecil County, for his forcibly and
riotously seizing and putting him under a Guard by Violence
with armed Men and taking from his Servants a Number of
Cattle as they were driving to Baltimore. Outrages of this
Kind, if suffered to be permitted with Impunity, will produce
the most serious Consequences and are therefore not to be
tolerated. We request that you will immediately with a Guard,
if necessary send Thomas Higgins before us; that Enquiry
may be made into the above mentioned Complaint.
To Charles Rumsey Esq^r We are &^ca
L^t of Cecil County.
