NY MILITIA ORDERS FOR A COURT MARTIAL

Manuscript Document. Two pages, 12" x 16" framed in a double-sided frame. City and County of New York. August 16, 1809. The Document reads, in part: "A Brigade Court-Martial … will sit on Tuesday the 22nd … at Hallam's Tavern … for the trial of Ensign Robert Dillon of the Rifle Crops, now under arrest, and such other persons belong to the Brigade as may be brought before them …. " These proceedings have been ordered by Brigadier General Steddison, First Brigade of Infanty. It also lists the Composition of the Court. A scarce and attractive early New York Militia document. Very Fine.
