different from those of your Petition CTS. A great Portion of them having inherited or in some other way got large estates, are either idle or are contriving schemes inconsistent with the wishes of your Petitioners. They have now two Banks and are anxious for another. they have one market completed and have issued proposals for another. they have now one Court House and are determined tc build another. they have got an academy on Bean Hill. Yet they are anxious for College. Your Petitioners have in sep crate instances proposed a candidate for the Assembly but the majority in an oppressive and outrageous manner have sent the man of their cnoice and have not regarded the voice of your Petitioners. The continuance of the city government over your Petitioners is a source of great oppression. There are in said City six engines, nearly two hundred men exempted from mili- tary duty to manage them and al- though West Chelsea is a Village of nearly two Hundred buildings. yet neither of said engines are located among your Petitioners which engines are established on Bean Hill and other parts of the east side of said Rivers, much less populous and much less ex- posed to fire than the Village on the west side of said Rivers. Your Peti- tioners have been heavily taxed for the support of said engines, but are not permitted to participate in any of their benefits, as it is at all times particu- larly unpleasant and at many times ex- tremely dangerous for your uetitioners to cross said rivers, and as by the waters of said Rivers a natural bound ary is formed between your Petition CTS and those on the east of said riS r' ard as thfir pursuits, their feel ings, their habits and their interests 4e essenJiaily different from those of the rest of the town, they think i reaeonahle they should be seperataf from those who thus differ from them tile prayer of your Petitioners there fore is that that part of the town uf Norwich which is on the west side 0i said Rivers be incorporated into a neW town by the name of Mount Pleasau, with the privilege of sending one Representative to the General Assem ply, that they may be exempted from the government of said City and your Petitioners as in duty Bound will ever pray Dated at Norwich this 9th day of April A.
