Honorably Discharged
Summary
Three men, George M. Potts, William Ross and Charles Ross were honorably discharged after having been arrested a few days earlier upon the charge of forwarding supplies to Confederates imprisoned in Fort Delaware. The charge was brought by Lt. Col. Dennis, but the men had permission from Major Gen. Dix to forward food and clothing. It is felt that "equal and exact justice has not been done, that improper representations have perverted the better judgment of Gen. Wool and that an undue discrimination has been made in favor of influential Tories." Something must be done or the people will lose the confidence and zeal which are so important to have in the administration of justice.
