A MEMORIAL!

Of WHAT HAS OCCURRED IN ThEIR Ma*'^ PrOVINCE OF NeW'.

York since the news of Their Ma*'®" happy arrivall in England. Setting forth the necessity of remo\'ing Cap* Fran: Nicholson (late Lieu* Gov"" of the said Province) and putting the command thereof into [the | hands of such persons, of whose fidelity and good Inclination to their present Ma'^ the aforesaid Province is well assured.

The said Cap* Nicholson (in imitation of his Predecessor Coll Dungan) wholly neglected to repair the Fori and Fortifications of the city, and that not without a vehement suspicion, thereby the more easily to betray the same into the enemies hands, of which he gave the said Province sufficient grounds of apprehensions by discovering both by words and actions, his disaffection to the happy Revolution in England, and also to the

inhabitants of the City by threatening to fire the same aboui their ears.
