PERJuRY---AfaN Oath. SHAKEsPFARE.
TINE interelting queaion to the people OF
1 this province, is, Whether the Preienf
Lieutenant Governor Mr.. Oliver, fands re-
corded in the Councils books, as j" PerjureJ
Traitor ?" This is aTerted by that e'egant
writer, and friend to mankind and this pro-
vince, lUNlUS AMERICANUS, in his adj
dres TO that mef Odiea5 peion titled the Earl
of H;lborough, perlon dstsReG, and had in
injfmifstOnte,npf by all honea men that know him.
Lit US then enquire, whether or nor. Mr.
Oliver ftands q" recorded in the CouD&gSS
books as Pejured traitor" Pu
Mr.. Oliver, as iecre,ary to the CcAneiI,
muf of courfe be acquainted with all tSxiE
proceedings, and know their /svH5, and if he
betray them, he muit be a traitor according
to the above definition and common lenle, and
if 10 btraying them ne Jqrsar falfJ, he muR
be psyjared naiior. Mr.. Oliver under oath,
repreients Mr.. Tyler, one of The Council, as
faying of the people of the art cha atter
among Us, that Z" f6ey hsd formed plan. and
thar this was part of il, to remove the troops
out cf tow n, and after that the commifIioners,"
and adds, I" divers other gentlemen adopted
what Mr.. Tyler had fsid, &C."
Upon which the Council obferve, and
REGARD il, that "a it appears, thar the faid gen.
tlemcn Of the council were 70 far from ADOPT
iag what the Secretary repreients to have been
faid 10y Mr.. Tyler, concerning plan for ie-
moving the commissioners, that there is not
one of them that has the leah remembrance
of any thing E4id about fuch plan, and there
fore could nor refer 10 IL, or in any fne qVbAtsOer
adcpt it," 1t is certain that all the gentle
men Of the Council then prefent have declared
on safk, they have no remembrance that Nh.
Tyler iaid there was a plan laid fer the re-
moval of the commiilioners. Mr.. Tyler him
felf on oafb, declares, thar cit is grols mif-
repreientation."
Again NJ. Oliver, in his depoftion fays,
Z" This form" (meanng what he had drawn
up) " was itritily allow ed TO exPrels the truth,

reafons aligned for his fudden departure with

is Gome,hing my FERROUS in the affair, which

ny his being concerned in fetting fire toPortf-

of bread and that ieveral perfons were con-

a the Great ard Genera Court have
"A determined TO build Lieh;. Houte al

or on the outer end or top of EsRern point !;
and have chofcn a committee TO examine the
respective places, and report which place
will bef anfWer the end and purpofe, OF be
mott beneficial to navigation: Ard as this
important affair is now under confederation /;
what is propofcd, is, to offer fome reafons to
prove that it will beh anfwer the end
and deGgn OF Light Houie to have it built
on Eaitern point. Others are of different
mind. We are willing the mcR weighty,
fubfantal realons fhould determine the point.
I. A Light-Houfe built on Thatcher's-
Hand will only ferve for coating light, to
afif thofevehels who are going to, or coming
from, the Eallward who generally make
uie of good weather, when Light Houle is
not 70 much needed, and if hey are over
taken with form, cannot Icsp any geat
advantage by Light Hcufe placed there !;
for it will only ihew them that they arc oct
of harbour, and afford then, no direction
how they tha)l get into one, whith is what
they mof want At fpch afeafon. A Light
Houfe fet Gil the .op IF Eafiern point will
znlwer this purpofe IN the bea manner.
2. ALight- Houfelon the top of Ealern

deGred. VeGels may come into Cape ann
barbour with cafe; or fet their courfe for
Salem, Msfblehead, or Bottom Ligh;- Hoyfe,
with fuzzy sxaefneis, that they will be in little
or no Danger of mifing harbour: Whereas
if the Light Houle is yIe, on Thatcher's- lland,
they cannot have fych direction (except fuch
vsiiels only as are bound to Bottom j but are
only fhown that they are near lee ihore,
furrounded VIII rocks and lodges, while it is
heavy GeIm, and they canrot find way
into any harbour. And it but a pvor con-
fola;ion to failor, in form, to fee nothing

is no way of relief pointed out to him.
