Burglary and assault reports from local towns
Morning of Friday a gang of six enslaved men from Philadelphia robbed the Rinear residence near Buttington taking a watch clothing and bedding. One man turned informer leading to multiple arrests and jail. Also a violent break in at Mr Adams home with a half-dollar bribe and brutal scuffle resulting in the capture of George Johnson. A post office opens at Fair Mount and news from New Orleans notes an abducted Spaniard expected to testify.
