From the New Jersey Courier of 24 June 1875: Captain Samuel Crowley and William Sooy of Washington Township have a law suit on hand before Squire Brome, growing out of a disputed cedar swamp. The township committee of Washington Township have determined to investigate these charges of malfeasance against Captain Samuel Crowley. They have appointed Charles Brome, Joel VanSant,jr., and H.H. Miller, a committee to examine his work. Said committee will proceed to business next Friday June 55th [obviously a typo]
