Council of Maryland, 1783-1784. 537

proceed on the Affair but held M^r Carbury in Custody, expecting him
to be demanded according to the Confederation on the above Noti-
fication from the President of the Arrest and Offences charged. The
Court sat almost a Month and no Demand being made they took his
Recognizance to appear at their next General Court which will be
held the second Tuesday in October next.
When I did myself the Honor of writing to your Judges on the
20^th of May our Court was then setting and M^r Carbury was in
Custody ready to be delivered up. —

I have given the above Detail in order to account for not having
M^r Carbury on the Spot to deliver up to your Officer M^r Bullfinch.
M^r Carbury shall be immediately informed of your Demand and
I have every Reason to think he will voluntarily attend your Judges
and surrender himself up. If he does not our Judges on his appear-
ance at the next General Court will deliver him up to the Executive
of this State who will forward him to the Limits, giving your Ex-
cellency previous Notice of the Time and place so that your Officers
may meet our's and receive him into Custody.
With great regard I have the Honor &^ca

[W^m Paca, Annapolis, to M^r Henry Carbury.]

I have lately received a Letter from the President of Pennsylvania
demanding that you be delivered up according to the Articles of
Confederation to take your Trial in that State for the Offences with
which you are Charged to have there committed and for which you
were arrested in this State, and are now held in Custody. I wrote
the President for Answer that I had every reason to think there
would be no necessity for compulsory Measures for that as soon as
you were made acquainted with the Demand you would Voluntarily
go to the City of Philadelphia, and surrender yourself up to the
Judges: their Courts will be held, I am informed on the 16^th of the
present Month.
It will save you a considerable Expence to go voluntarily, and it
will be a favorable Circumstance in your Case : and it will give me
much pleasure to be relieved from the necessity of forcible and vio-
lent Measures. I am Sir &^ca
