Majefy flattered bimfelf, that during the mifunderfand
ing between him and his American fubjefis, their High
Mightiness would friflly forbid all their fubjefts from

following ANSWER.
Gentlemen,
I AM, in the most sensible Manner, obliged to
you for this Address. The Motives which induced
me to exert my Efforts to relieve the back Country
from the Calamity under which it lately laboured,
would have been disappointed of one of its principal
Ends if it had not met your Approbation; and this
very honourable Testimony, which you are now
pleased to give me of it, conveys the highest Gratifica
tion to me.
The cordiality of your Expressions, on the Occasion
of the Addition to my Family, and the distinguishing
Mark of the Notice which you So kindly 'take of
Lady Dunmore, attach me to you by the strongest
Ties of Gratitude, and the warmest Affe&ion.
'Alban, County, 20th 'January, 1775.
The following Reflations of the Inhabitants of King's
Didnet, in this County, will explain the occasion which
produced them, The Measure was deemed a prudential
One by the Magifrates of the Difria, and it has fully
answered the intended Purpose.
King's Diftri&, 24th day of Dec. 1774.-
At a Meeting publickly warned by the Clerk of the
Diftrid, and requested by a number of the principal
inhabitants.
PRESENT.
Five of the King's Justices for the County of Albany,
and a great number of the principal people belonging to
said Diftrift.
WHEREAS it appears to this Meeting that some
individuals in the north-east part of this Dif
tri£t, have associated with divers people of a neighbour
ing Diftria, and combined together to hinder and ob
ftruA Courts of Justice in the said county of Albany:
This Meeting deeply impressed with a just abhorrence
of these daring insults upon Government, and being fully
sensible of the blessings resulting from a due obedience to
the laws, as well as convinced of the calamities and evils
attending a suppression, or even suspension of the admini
stration of justice; have therefore unanimously come
into the following Resolutions:
First. That as our gracious Sovereign King George the
Third, is lawful and rightful King of Great-Britain,
and all other dominions thereunto belonging ; and as such,
by the constitution, has a right to establish Courts, and
is supposed to be present in all his Courts : Therefore we
will to the utmost of our power, and at the rifque of our
lives, difeountenance and suppress every meeting, associa
tion or combination which may have a tendency in the
least to molest, disturb, or in any wife obflruft the due
administration of justice in this province.
Second. That we will as much as we possibly can, in
our different capacities, encourage, promote and enforce
a ftri& obedience to the aforefaid authority.
Third. Inasmuch as that life, liberty and property,
and the bands of society are secured and protested by
the laws ; we do for the further security of these blessings,
mutually covenant, agree and engage, that if any obstruc
tion, hindrance or molestation is given to any Officer or
Minister of Justice, in the due execution of his office,
we will feperately and collectively (as occasions may
require) aid and assist in the executive part of the law,
so that all offenders may be brought to justice.
Signed by order of the Meeting,
ABRAHAM HOLMES, Clerk for King's Diftrifl.
Your Lordihip's vigorous Opposition to the Incur
iions and Ravages of an Indian Enemy, hath effec
tually prevented the Desolation of a growing back
Country, and the Horrors of human Carnage. The
Scene of War was remote from us, our Properties
and Estates were not immediately exposed, to the
Miseries consequent thereon ; but though not equally
interested, we sensibly participate in the Blessings that
are derived to our fellow Subjects in that Quarter of
the Colony, from the Profpe& of a permanent Peace.
The Lenity you exercised towards the Indians, when
they expected the Cruelty of the Vi&or, hath attached
thera to you from principle; and unless the intrigues
of Traders, or the insidious Arts of the Enemies to
this Government, Should again foment Differences,
we flatter ourselves the present Tranquility will not
speedily be interrupted. You have taught them a
Lesson, which the Savage Breast was a Stranger to,
that Clemency and Mercy are not incompatible with
Power, and that Havock and Bloodshed are not the
infeperable Concomitants of Success and Vi&ory.
Permit us, my Lord, to express our lively Satis
fa&ion at the Addition to your Family by the Birth
of a Daughter, and to assure you it is greatly heigh
tened by the promising Hopes that your Lady's
Recovery will he unattended with Danger. We
Should be wanting in Refpe& to her Lady Ship to omit
any Opportunity of teftifying our Esteem for her ;
an Esteem that her exemplary Piety, and true Dignity
of Conduct, will ever Command.
ALL Persons that are indebted to
the Estate of Thomas Budd, of New-Concord,
Albany County, are requested to pay the fame before the
firft of April next, to Gerret Keteltas and Frederick Jay,
Assignees to said Estate, or to Lucas Van Allen, of
