day of
instant, reciting that A.B. was lately charged before (me) for a certain offence therein mentioned, and that . F. having appeared before (me), and being examined as a witness for the prosecution in that behalf, refused to enter into a recognisance to give evidence against the said A.B., and I therefore thereby committed the said E.F, to your custody, and required you safely to keep him until after the trial of the said A.D. for the offence aforesaid, unless in the mean- time he should enter into such recognisance as aforesaid: And whereas for want of sufficient evidence against the said A.B. the said A.B. has not been committed or holden to bail for the said offence, but on the contrary has been since discharged, and it is therefore not necessary that the said E.. should be detained longer in your custody. These are therefore to order and direct you, the said Su- perintendent to discharge the said E.F. out of your custody as to the said commitment, and suffer him to go at large.
