75 CHAPTER XXX. SMITH. In New Jersey four Acts were passed by the Legislature dealing with the Loyalists of that State. The first provided for the punishment of traitors and disaffected persons ; another provided for the taking charge of and leasing the real estates, and for the confiscation of the personal estates of certain fugitives and offenders therein named ; a third for forfeiting to and vesting in the state the real property of pei'sons designated in the second statute ; while a fourth ...more rigorously defined and enunciated the principles of the first. By it certain offenders who had contributed provisions and other specified articles to the king's ser- vice were given sixty days to leave the state, after which time, if they still remained, they were to be adjudged guilty of felony and to suffer death. Abraham Smith had been a soldier in the New Jersey volunteers and had taken a rather prominent part in the Revolutionary War. It seems that he did not realize the seriousness of this statute, for the sixty days had passed and he had not conformed to the regulations.
