perfectly agreed with the Com moor Hoofe of A firm hi v a* to the propriety

Proa thia clanfc we think h does and mad appear, chat no declaration,
diredioD* or authority whatever, is made or given by the proclamation,
’ except a notification, that hia Majesty had given power and direction in 4
bfet letters patent to tbe Governors es tbe new governments only as to the
‘Xuttars therein mentioned. These words we conceive cannot be wrelied
fe pa to Support the adertion of the Commons House of Aftjmbly; and
’ bn left It had appeared to us, that, ie any letters patent or ietradion*
from hia Majesty, before or fioce the date of tbe proclamation, your Ex
cetfency had power and dtrc&ion to HToc writs foretelling representatives
fOf tbo land! added by that proclamation to this province, (which was
not the case) their ebargp is gtoundfefs, and our opinion and advice mull
be deemed proper and unexceptionable, nnd therefore cannot be impeached
fey any impartial and unprejudiced men.
The Commons House of Aicmbly a 1 ledge r that a delay of juftfee may
’ be de<ttd a denial bf its in this charge we mud be included* eur advice
nndopsatoo being neccllhry to betaken by yoor Exc-llency as to calling
•a;|d Summoning Affcmblies. How far, therefore, such a charge can be
fiipponed will appear from what we have before affined. It is acecfurc
we nevec have, and hope never (hall with justice be charged with ; and as
onr consult has been, and ever will be, founded on tbe principles of C
qnjty nad juftfee, we are, and (hall be regardiefs of any impotent attacks
tnat may be levelled at us.
We hope your Excellency will cxcufe our troubling you with this ad. !
dress, which we beg leave to allure you it foltly owing to the publication
of the last eddrefs presented to you by the Commons House of Aflembly.
