Reviewing this contrast which cannot be denied by our enemies
themselves in a single point, which has now been kept up during four
years of unremitted war, a term long enough to produce well founded
despair that our moderation may ever lead them into a practice of
humanity, called on by that justice which we owe to those who are
fighting the battles of their country, to deal out at length
miseries to their enemies, measure for measure, and to distress the
feelings of mankind by exhibiting to them spectacles of severe
retaliation, where we had long and vainly endeavoured to introduce
an emulation in kindness; happily possessed by the fortune of war
some of those very individuals, who having distinguished themselves
personally in this line of cruel conduct, are fit subjects to begin
on with the work of retaliation, this Board has resolved to advise
the Governour that the said Henry Hamilton, Philip Dejean, and
William Lamothe, prisoners of war, be put into irons, confined in
the dungeon of the publick jail, debarred the use of pen, ink, and
paper, and excluded all converse except with their keeper. And the
Governour orders accordingly.
