[Footnote 31: William Tyng had just accepted a colonel's commission from
General Gage. He was proscribed and banished the next year. But he
returned to Maine in 1793, where he died in 1807. A brief but
interesting notice of him is to be found in the tenth volume of the
collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, pp. 183-185.]
[Footnote 32: Judge Trowbridge continued a moderate adherent of the
Government, without losing the regard of the patriot leaders. His
reputation as a lawyer was great, and when the writer of this letter
proposed the extreme measure of an impeachment of the Chief Justice,
Oliver, the admissions of Judge Trowbridge, when consulted, largely
contributed to a confirmation of his policy. The Judge lost his place on
the bench, but he remained otherwise unharmed, and died at Cambridge in
1793.]
