TORY PRISONER LIST
<b>622. TORY PRISONER LIST </b>War-date D.S. 2pp. legal folio, Albany, Mar. 22, [1783] entitled "<i>A schedule of the prisoners now confined in the Gaol of the City & County of Albany with the Causes of their Imprisonment</i>". The list includes the usual suspects in jail for sentences imposed by the Superior court for various offences, but also includes one "<i>George Man -- Committed for High Treason</i>", as well as "<i>Isaac Pool and Henry Ten Eyck</i>", both "<i>Confined by the Commissioners of Conspiracies</i>". Henry Ten Eyck appeared on a 1766 Albany petition opposing the stamp act. We can only guess what led to his imprisonment sixteen years later. Usual folds, a few chips to extreme margins, otherwise very good condition. $<b>200-300</b>
