Against the conduct of Rhode Island in permitting them ^^^ to be made, Massachusetts, by whom the Pequot country 1061. Was claimed by right of conquest, had erected the tract on 13 " each side of the Pawcatuck river into a township called Southertown, and attached it to the county of Suffolk. Complaints from this town were now made to the General Court, of the intrusion of some tldrty-six settlers from Rhode Island into that part of the town east of Paw- catuck river, being the Westerly purchas...e, claiming it as their own. Upon this a warrant was issued by the coun- 25. ' cil of Massachusetts to the constable of Southertown to ar- rest the trespassers. Tobias Saunders, Robert Burdett, and Joseph Clarke were seized. Clarke was released, and I^'"\'- the others were taken to Boston as prisoners, and commit- ted for want of bail. The magistrates sent a letter to Dec. Rhode Island, inquiring if the conduct of these trespass- '^• ers was sanctioned by that government, and saying if it were so, Massachusetts would prepare to defend her peo- ple in their just rights.
