King and Queen County (Virginia) Committee

v4:224

KING AND QUEEN COUNTY (VIRGINIA) COMMITTEE.

At a meeting of the Sub-Committee of the Upper District of King and Queen County, on Saturday, the 9th of December, 1775:

William Lyne having been charged before this Committee, by James Jones, Jun˙, with endeavouring to prejudice

v4:225

the Minute-service, and exciting mutiny, the said William Lyne, having heretofore been summoned, now appeared, and on examining several witnesses, it appears to this Committee, that on the day the District Committee chose officers for the regular and minute-service, the said Lyne imprudently dropped expressions tending to injure the minute-service. We believe he had no intention of exciting mutiny; and that, from a review of his conduct, he appears to be a friend to American liberty.

Ordered, That a copy of these proceedings be transmitted to the Publick Printer of this Colony, to be inserted in the Virginia Gazette.

BERNARD TODD, Clerk.
