I Humbly conceive I am not holden to make my plea on the mdictment untill the -power be determined whereby Such things bave been acted.

-- That his Majesty has not declared judicially against the power but is yet, (Subjudice) therefore dare not enter into plea, Untill Yet determined which I am ready to appear unto according to the Kings Appointment, --

1 This is the rtfRcer who had been previously Commissioned by Gov. Dongan to go to the far Indians, and was taken prisoner by the French. See Doc. Hist. 1. 258 ct seq. His widow and son, Hugh McG. obtained a grant of 15U0 acres of land on Hudsons river at a place called John Peaches Creek. No fees were charged for the Patent out of respect for the Major's memory, as he "lately I>ied in his Matyes service in defence of the Province."

LIEUT. GOV. LEISLER. 9(|9>

-- The Power is to be determined Judicially before I Plead, because it is good until the King determine otherwise.
