General
I appointed Judge Warren last week, as soon as I was informed that several of the malefactors, who have been disquieting the county of Lenoir & adjacent counties, were captured and in the jail of Lenoir, to hold a court of Oyer & Terminer in that county, for the trial of the prisoners, and I offered a reward for the apprehension of two agents whom I was informed there was satisfactory evidence, — as I will for any others when their names are furnished to me, with satisfactory evidence of their guilty co-operation with these bands of regulators.

Transcription Notes:
Oyer and Terminer — In English law, Oyer and terminer (a partial translation of the Anglo-French oyer et terminer which literally means "to hear and to determine") was the Law French name for one of the commissions by which a judge of assize sat. — from Wikipedia
