Committee of Safety. -During the Revolutionary struggle, it became necessary to appoint a Committee of Safety to look after the interests of the Colonists, and we herewith give a few sample extracts from their proceedings. (From Proceedings of June 24th, 1777.) Agreed, That Major Hayes or the Commanding Officer of the Militia stationed at Newark be ordered to remove from the County of Essex to the South side of Hackensack River, in Bergen County, in order to go into the Enemy's lines - The following women (with their children) being the wives & children of persons lately residing within this State who have gone over to the Enemy, to wit.: Mary Longworth, Catharine Longworth, Elizabeth Wheeler, Phoebe Banks, Mary Wood, Hannah Ward, Elizabeth Betty and Anne Clark, and make return thereof to the Governor and Council of Safety. Agreed, That Joseph Redden, Jr., Esq., he appointed a Commissioner for the County of Essex for signing and inventorying the Estates and Effects of persons gone over to the Enemy, etc., in the room of Isaac Dodd, who refuses to act. Ordered that Isaac Ogden, now in the Gaol of Morris County, be removed for trial to the County of Essex, in which he resides. (From Proceedings of June 30th, 1777.) Pursuant to order, Major Hayes made Return of the Removal of the following persons into the Enemy's lines, to wit.: Catharine Longworth, Mary Longworth, Elizabeth Batey, Hannah Ward and Mary Wood ; that Phoebe Banks had gone to New York by the Way of Hackensack, before the Order of Removal reached his Hands; and that Elizabeth Wheeler was in such Circumstances that it was judged her Removal would Endanger her Life. (From Proceedings of July 2d, 1777.) Whereas Peter Dubois, John Robinson, Eliphelet Johnson, Thomas Cadmus, Jr., and James Nuttman, Stand Committed in the Common Gaol at New Ark, in the County of Essex, for the space of Six Months, by the order and Judgment of the Court of General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the said county, for refusing to take the Oaths of Abjuration and Allegiance agreeably to Law, and whereas John McGinness and John Haveris were by order of the Same Court imprisoned for nine Months on being duly convicted of a Misdemeanor for attempting to go over to the Enemy; and whereas Isaac Ogden, George Watts, and John Edison, are committed to the Gaol aforead charged with High Treason ; and Also, whereas, Aaron Kingsland, Morris Hatfield, and Baker Hendricks are confined the first in the Gaol aforead, and the two latter in the Gaol at Elizabeth Town, being charged with Felony for uttering and passing Bills of Credit, Knowing them to be counterfeited, and altered; And it being represented to this Board, that the vicinity of Newark and Elizabeth Town to Staten Island, and other places in possession of the Enemy, and the exposure to Incursions, render it necessary that the persons above named, should be removed to some more distant and secure place in the State, -The Board having taken the premises under consideration, do resolve & agree, that the Persons afad be confined in the Common Gaol at Morristown, and that orders of removal be immediately made out and executed. (From Proceedings of July 21st, 1777.) The petition of Isaac Ogden, George Waits, and Aaron Kingsland was read, setting forth That they were removed from the Gaol of Essex to that of Morris by order of this Board ; That from the difficulty of getting their provisions dressed, from the Stench and filth of the Gaol, the unhealthy state of the air of the town of Morris, and the prevalance of the Bloody Flux, and Camp Fever in said town, their lives are in great danger, and praying that they may be speedily tried for the Crimes of which they stand charged, and in the meantime that they may be remanded to the Gaol of Essex. Agreed that Isaac Ogden, George Waits, and Aaron Kingsland be remanded to their former place of Imprisonment in the Gaol of Essex; they bearing the expense of such removal. (From Proceedings of July 30th, 1777.) Abraham Ogden presented a petition, to the Council, signed by Nicholas Hoffman, Abraham Ogden and Samuel Ogden, setting forth : That David Ogden Esq late of Newark, who on the 5th' day of Jany went over to Jamaica on Long Island to recover his health, so far as to be able to return home; "Praying that the Sale of the personal Estate of the said David "Ogden should be deferred until the health of the said David Ogden will "permit him to return to the State of New Jersey, when by complying "with the terms of the Act of Grace or such others as shall then be "thought proper, he may entitle himself to the protection & confidence "of the Govt of New Jersey." The Council taking the above petition into consideration are of opinion that they cannot grant the prayer thereof without suspending the operations of An Act of the Legislature, which has made no such exceptions, but that if the said David Ogden can produce sufficient reasons why his present Estate though disposed of agreeable to Law, should be restored to him. Application for that purpose must be made to the Legislature of the State, in whom alone is vested the power of relieving him. (From Proceedings of September 13th, 1777.) Whereas John Ogden, Smith Hetfield and John Willis of Essex County have gone over to the Enemy and left their families behind them. Agreed that Col. F. Frelinghuysen cause the wives of the said John Ogden, Smith Hetfield and John Willis and such of their children as are under age to be removed within the Enemies lines, or some place within their possession. (From Proceedings of January 20th, 1778.) His Excellency was pleased to lay before the Board for their opinion therein, a letter from Col. Seely, setting forth that some Tea and Sugar was sent to Mrs. Boudinot from her friends at New York, and begging his direction in the premises. Agreed That the said Tea and Sugar be delivered to Mrs. Boudinot.
