n\ay tamely be difmhented, have aded contrary to
th? Spirit and Design of the good and righteous
Laws of Great-Britain, which under a just Adminis
tration, never fail to secure the Liberty and Proper-,
of the Subject are thereby guilty of great Inhumani-'
ty to it’s refpeftive Subje&s ; We therefore resolve
that as a County, we will stand by, and defend our
Friends and Neighbours, so indifted at the Expence
of our Lives and Fortunes. And we would recom
mend to the Gencral«Aflembly of the Province of
New-York,to wait the Determination of his Majes
ty, relative to the Title of our Lands ; and desist
from taking us as Rioters, to prevent the unhappy
Consequences thy may result from inch an At
tempt.
And fourthly and lastly resolved, That for the
future, every necefiary Preparation be made, and
that our Inhabitants from this Time forward, hold
themselves in Readiness,- at a Minute’s Warning ? to
aid and defend luch Friends of ours, who for their
Merit to the General Cause are falfly denominated
Rioters, but that we will not aft any Thing, morq
or less, but on the defensive, and always encourage
due Execution of Law, in civil Cases, and also in
criminal Prosecutions, that are so indeed, and that
we will assist to the utmost of our Power, the Officers
appointed for that Purpose.
The foregoing Arguments, Narratives and Re
solves, being laid before the General Committee of
the New-Hampihire Grants, and was read kindry
Times, and carefully examined, and after mature
Deliberation, Mr. Clark, Chairman, put the Votes
to Tryal, whether the foregoing w'as approved of, as
an Answer to theßefolves oftheGeheral-Aflembly,
of the Province of New-York, and it was voted in
the Affirmative, and it was furthermore the Advice
of this Committee, that the foregoing be forthwith
exhibited in the public Papers, to the Intent that
all Officers, Magistrates and Persons whatsoever,
may know that if they presume to take the Rioters
afore said, they do it on their Perils

On Saturday last, about 5 o’clock in the even
ing, we had here a moil extraordinary storm of hail/
feme of the stones being as large as ^pigeons eggs;
and by accounts from other parts of the -county,
particularly Gloucester, Middlefex,' and Henrico,
we find that the storm was much more violent with
them, some of the hailstones measuring five, inches
and an half, and weighed half an ounce. It was
preceded by an uncommon roaring in the air, and
continued between two and three minutes ; and a
heavy ffiower succeeded, which lasted about five mi
nutes. Great damage has been done to the win
dows, the ffiingles were knocked off several houses,
and what wheat escaped the effefts of the late froft
is entirely ruined j so that it is feared there will
hardly be feed wheat .’for another year^at least in ma
ny parts of the country,
Extract of a Litterfrom a Gentlemen in England, io hit

.** The American business engages at present the
whole attention of every one here, from the King to
the shopkeeper. I am told by several members,
that Lord North said, in the bill, some alteration
of the charter of the Massachusetts-Bay would be
introduced, and declared that the puniffiment of
Boston was intended as an example to all the other
colonies who should be treated in the fame manner
whenever they dared to resist the ffiackles which it
is determined they shall wear. That it was neces
sary, and prudent, to punilh one colony at a time
and Boston being the foremoft in averting their
rights, it was proper to begin with it firft. This,
you may be allured, is the language of every mi
nisterial man. They believe that the other colonies
will look on quietly, and fee Boston dpftroyed, but
I flatter myfelf they will be mistaken. Every thing
at present feeins to me to be very property situated
in New-York, Pennsylvania, and South-Carolina;
and if the Virginia Assembly does but stir in the
business, I have no doubt there will be a perfeft u
nion among all the colonies, which is indeed mote
ablblutely necefiary now than at any time before,
as the attack is intended against the whole : And I
am of opinion it will check the sanguine spirit of
your enemies here, if they find the colonies firm and
closely united. Indeed, it is evident you have no
alternative but to resist, united ; or submit, and be
slaves, at once.”
