Tuesday Dec. 15, 1812   Edenton Gazette December 15, 1812
   -- On Thursday last, ZADOCK HAST, JOSEPH LAWRENCE and MILES ROLLINS, [all 
of Bertie County*],  three of the Deserters belonging to the 10th Regiment, 
advertised in the paper of this Town on the 8th inst., were brought into Town 
and delivered to ENSIGN JONES, the only officer at this post at present. The 
Sheriff refusing to receive them into gaol, unless legally committed, they 
were suffered to range at large, and the two first effected their escape. They 
have since returned, and a passport has been given them to repair to 
headquarters.
