The Pennsylvania Packet for 1 Jan 1776 printed a dispatch datelined “Cambridge, December 21”:
That one Morrison, who officiates as a Presbyterian Minister, being appointed searcher of those people who were permitted to leave the town, promised, on receiving a bribe, to let a person bring out 240l. sterling in cash and plate; but afterwards basely deprived him of the whole of it.Such a shame when you can’t trust the people you bribe.
