concerned with criminal warrants. Instead they rebuked or fought people who

The Court are of the opinion
that the sum of ten pounds be paid to John Hoomes,
Gentleman, for the use of Benjamin Poe, as compensation for
his trouble and expence in maintaining his sick
son* while on Furlough from the Army of the United States.
*
This passage appears unclear. Was Benjamin Poe being compensated for caring for
the sick son of John Hoomes? Or compensated, through
John Hoomes, for "maintaining" his own son,
Virgil, disabled at The Battle of Germantown. Perhaps Hoomes
was a local official charged with dispensing government reimbursements. The
words "maintaining" and "sick" appear problematic to the
understanding of the court order. Why would the government not just “pay” the
money directly to Benjamin Poe? While the records for a wounded “Hoomes” has not been checked, Virgil Poe (who appears in
