After remaining in New-Jersey several years, he concluded in 1802, to send Romaine and his wife and child back to the West Indies. Finding him extremely reluctant to go, he put them in prison some days previous, lest they should make an attempt to escape. From prison they were put into a carriage to be conveyed to Newcastle, under the custody of a Frenchman and a constable.
Featherstone, since you ask me, I'll tell you, said old Dan he's savage as a wild boar, you know, and won't be delayed at meetings.
