[ The sum of L. 10 was also allowed to Captain Peirson, ’for the scalp of an Indian enemy slain the last summer by him and his company at Dunstable, -to be by him distributed and paid to such of his troops, and the inhabitants of said town, that were at the garrison when and where the Indian was slain.’" * Mass.
