- 1752 - Abraham Farrow, Joseph Nevill, and Henry Peyton, residents of Prince William County, charged with acting riotously and unlawfully, assaulting the sheriff, and intimidating the freeholders during the Prince William election. Burgesses ordered the sergeant at arms, Thomas Hall, to take all three into custody. Farrow and Nevill confessed at the bar of the house, where Speaker Robinson reprimanded them and discharged them after they paid fees. Apparently Peyton never made a similar confession [Burgesses' Journals, 1752-1758, 57-58, 73; Mar 25, Apr 4, 1752]
