In case the persons accused should make no resistance to an arrest it will be against orders to be accompanied by others If it Should become necessary to have witnesses on in the trials, I will See that Such persons Shall be duly Summoned, And I will also guarantee the safety of all such persons as may thus be braught to this place from either for trial or as witnesses for the accused
If the individuals accused cannot be found when required by the constable it will be considered by me as equivalent to a refusal to be arrested and the Militia will be ordered accordingly
I am Gentlemen With great Respect
Your Obedient Servant
