 ther pleased to observe, that though 

 Colonel Palmer did not sign the 

 letter of the Oth of August, he is, 

 nevertheless, by his declared sen- 

 timents on the prosecution, and 

 his general concurrence in the opi- 

 nion of the officers, to be consi- 

 dered in the same light as if he

 be removed to another sorps. 

 I am, &c,

And desired them to move for-

 his liberty, who hath been unjustly

 be highly advantageous to the pub- 

 lic ; and that the provisions of the 

 act of the 31st Car. H. intituled 

 "An Act for the better securing
