The haughty chieftain, who had once before been compelled to surrender his English arms, and pay an onerous tribute, was summoned to submit to an 1674. examination, and could not escape suspicion. The wrath of his tribe was roused, and the informer was murdered. The murderers in their turn were identified, seized, tried by a jury, of which one half were 1675. June.

ad passed in their town-meetings. But, meantime, the forts were not put in order; the government of the duke of York was hated as despotic, and when, in the next war between England and the Netherlands, a small Dutch squadron, commanded by 1673, 1674. the gallant Evertsen of Zealand, approached Manhattan, the city was surrendered without a blow; the people of New Jersey made no resistance, and the counties on the Delaware, recovering greater privileges than they had enjoyed, cheerfully followe have always, said they, been as one flesh.

When New Netherlands was recovered from the United Provinces, Berkeley and Carteret entered again into possession of their province.
