Excerpt from Memoirs, and Letters and Journals, of Major General Riedesel: During His Residence in America On the 8th of January, the American Colonel Hawley, with his men, was on guard behind the barracks on Brpspeg hill. In front of one of the barracks stood eight English soldiers belonging to the 9th Regiment.

The cause, if any, that led him to commit this outrageous act has ever remained a secret. The indignation and bitter feeling of the English toward their jailors were increased by this event to the highest pitch; and General Burgoyne, in an energetic letter, demanded of General Heath the arrest of Colonel Hawley and a strict investigation.
