Rind's Virginia Gazette

NEW-YORK, July 10.

In Addition to what was published in our last of the Rioters at Claverack, it appears by Proof on Oath, that Hermanus Schuyler, Esq; High Sheriff of the City and County of Albany, did on the Twenty-sixth Day of June, now last past, proceed with the Posse of the said County, towards a House at Claverack in the County aforesaid, then in Possession of Robert Noble, Yeoman, in order to apprehend and take, the said Robert and divers other riotous and disorderly Persons: That on the Approach of the Sheriff and the Posse, they found the said Robert, with a Party of about 30 Men, all armed with Clubs, within a Fence across the Lane leading to, and a small Distance from the House of the said Robert: That the Said Robert refused, on the Demand of the Sheriff, either to take down the Fence, or to surrender himself;—and that on the Sheriff's removing one of the Rails, and getting over, he was immediately assaulted by some of the Party with Clubs; that while defending himself he heard a Report of a Small-Arm or Pistol, but knew not on which Side it was fired; that thereupon a firing by both Parties instantly ensued, and Cornelius Ten Broeck, one of the Posse, and Tom Whitney, one of the Rioters, were both shot, and died on the Spot: And that the Rioters then took Shelter in the said Noble's House, and by firing from thence, wounded seven other Persons of the Sheriff's Party.

Several of the Rioters, we hear, have been since taken, and Proclamations are issued for apprehending the Rest.
