The Massachusetts Spy, Or, Thomas's Boston Journal

Extract of a letter from Johnson-Hall, dated the 28th of March.

"In consequence of a meeting held by Sir William Johnson, last November, with the Chiefs of the Six Nations, concerning the murder of the four French men on Lake Ontario, whose boat they also plundered, there arrived here yesterday, three runners, or messengers from them, to acquaint Sir William, that a number of the Sachems were on their way hither, with two of the murderers whom they are to deliver up to justice; they have also paid so much regard to Sir William's admonitions to them at that treaty, that they are now bringing down a quantity of skins and furrs to make up the Frenchmen's losses; this is more than they could ever be prevailed upon to do before, and Sir William is hopeful, this precedent, will be of very great service, as it certainly will deter others from being guilty of the like in future."
