That the said Clergy have further represented that M^' Poyer is advised to seek his remedy by course of law within the Courts of that County but at tlie same time do inform us that they have just reason to apprehend tliat if a cause of the Church should be tried and judged by persons of known disaffection to the Churcli they might not find that justice of which they could be secure from any impartial Judges. And that if the Judgement should be given against th.e plaintiff it might in its consequences affect all the other clmrches of that province, as also that from suc]i a Judgement liowever partial there v/ould be no appeal eitlier to the Governor & Council in that province or to your Majesty and Privy Council here, because in the instructions given to your Governm* in reference to appeals, It is provided that in all appeals to the Government & Council there tlie sum appealed for do exceed the sum of XlOOstg: and in all appeals to your Majesty & Privy Council here the sum appealed for do exceed the sum of £300stg:
