mat iuojeet, and they have all been laid be-

hsssnt with my duty, for as | have befose
obkrve9so you, | prorosued the court to
Cambridge, upon lign6cation of his Ma
jeRy's p eaiure to that purpoie, and may net
remove il to BsRs1 without his MsieRy's

Our mott gracious Sovereign is ever rea-
dy to afford favourable attention to iuch
petitions and requefs of his fubicels as do not
tend to IN ure the contribution and are, in o.
Their refpe6fs, resfonable to be granted and
II you had defired me to carry the court to
BslfOH becauie it is the moft convenient place
and the prerogative of the crown to inifrucf
The Governor to convene the Court at fuch
place as his Majetfy may think proper had
not been denied, lhould have obtained
leave to meet you at Befon at this time
but fhalI not be at liberty to do it Whit
this denial is perifed in. Ifysu delft from
1t, and the removal of the court to Bsjqsn
lhall, for other reafons,be Judged expedient,

have received in the rccefs of the court,
a letter from his Excellency WiAiam 7yyon
E(q; Governor ofhis Majeay's province of
MW Trk, proroiing, with great candor,
meafures for the fettlsment of the boundary

Cenfifmfa sftbs Holf Of Rfprtttatativrs,
Upon inquiry into the fate of the Trea-
fury | find there are furplules of funds
which have been effablilhed for the payment
of fums borrowed, for the charges of Co
vernment in paf years, and thefe, together
with other unappropriated Hocks, are more
than equal TO the FUN which is necenary to
fatisfy the prelent demands upon the Treslury
and to provide for the lerVice of the advanc-
ing year.
The neafurer will lay before you the Fate
of the Treaiury, and an Ultimate ofthe fums
requiiitU for its fupply. 1t is with you to o.
rigInsie lach bill as you lhall judge proper.
Gentlemen Of the Council, and HogG Of Rsprs-
jenfafiUSJ.
Much time is ufually fpent BY the Gene
raj Court in conGdering petition, for new tri-
ais at law, for leave to fell the real effates of
perlons deeeafed by their executors or ad-
minifrators, and the real eRates Of minors by
their guardians. All fuch privaIe buhne(s is
properly coguizable by the eRabIifhed judi
catoris'. lfit be neceiIary that further pow
er lhould be given to fuch judicatories, or
that new courts fhouId be ereeted, am will
ling to content to any good and wholefomc
law or laws for thofe purpo(es. A Legislative
body cooiiRing of thres diftina parts, the
content of each of which is neceifary to G.
very valid act, is extremely improper for
fuch decilions. The polity of the Englifh
government feldom admits Of the exercife of
the executive and judiciary power by the
Legislature, and know of nothing fpecial in
the government of this province to give
countenahce 20 il.
There ihall be no delay on my part in the
buGnefs Ofthe SeffOn and will lay nothing
unnecefary before you.
