Full Description:
Board of Associated Loyalists. Minutes of Proceedings of the Board for the month of May 1782, copied from their journals. Have notified the direction that no expedition against the enemy is to take place without orders from the Commander-in-Chief. The trial of Captain Lippincott for the execution of J[oshua] Huddy is illegal and unjustifiable. Letter sent to his Excellency stating the terms on which the Associated Loyalists would engage themselves for six months to defend the post at Lloyd's Neck [Long Island, New York]. Requested approbation of Carleton relative to the proposed exchange of a Rebel prisoner for an Associated Loyalist. Remonstrance against the renewal of Captain Lippincott's trial. Thomas Wainwright to be liberated for Daniel Towser. Considered a petition from Richard Martin and James Brown to be allowed part of the sloop 'Sukey'; the Board ordered them to receive one quarter part of the net proceeds: the proceeds of the captures made on the expedition to Tappan and the Toms River to be distributed. The Commanding Officer at Lloyd's Neck to be requested to transmit the return of the state and strength of the garrison there to the Board that they may lay it before the Commander-in-Chief. Signed William Franklin.
