Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Wherefore the Mayor after the Examination of the Military Officers (to whose Care the Indians had been committed) and of other Witnesses relating to the Matter, and upon Considering thereof and the Circumstances attending the Relation, first the Alderman before whom the Deposition had been made, and after wards the Mayor, publickly declared, they were convinced the Accusation was utterly False and Groundless.
