Report

v3:1286

The Congress then proceeded to hear the Report of the Proceedings of the Committee of Safety on the 7th of September last. And on reading the Certificate of Jacobus Stoutenbergh, the Congress conceived his estimate of the Arms, therein mentioned, to be too high.

Ordered, That inquiry be made, what is become of the Accoutrements mentioned in that Certificate, and that the same be further considered hereafter.

The Congress then proceeded to hear the residue of the Proceedings of the last Committee of Safety on the seventh, and their Proceedings on the eighth day of September last. Thereupon, Mr˙ Low moved, and was seconded by Mr˙ Verplanck, in the words following, to wit:

"I move that the sense of this Congress be taken, whether the evidence, which appears to this Congress, was sufficient to authorize the taking of Mr˙ Bethune." Debates arising thereon, and the day being near elapsed,

Ordered, That Mr˙ Low' s motion be postponed till to-morrow morning.
