pt Against all aud every of them, the Justices of Jamaica Precinct, Just« Betts only Excepted, we say that they have Contrary to the Express meaning and Intent and Letter of the Law and Priviledge of the subject taken upon them arbitrarily to turn out our Cluuxh wardens, w'ho w^ere legally and fairly chosen by the People as the Law Directs, and after outing them imposed a fine on Each, giveing out an execution Against them all this was done at the same Court without soe much as once signifying their Sentence against said wardens, tho' they had acted with the most scrupulous Exactness to the rules by which the Law of the Country Does Regulate their office in tliis manner were they tui-ned out.

(2) We are apt to Eelieve upon no slight grounds that all these proceedings against the Churchwardens were no other than the Execution of what had severall Weeks bef<3re been Concerted and privately agreed upon by a private Cabal wherein Justice Whitehead had a great hand ; for it can be proved that as by said Wliitehead had all a long appeared w^ith tlie utmost warmth and heat against the Church wardens soe has he acted witli the most gross Partiality and Selfishness, his principal] aime in outing them being to recover a sum of money from M"" Poyer ; which said Poyer was to pay on Condition only that he should Receive the Publick money settled on tlie minister of Jamaica Precinct. The Church w^ardens and vestry being against M'" Poyers havcing the money ; there w^as no w^ays for M' Wliitehead to come at his Debt but by Influencing the Justices and Joyning them himself to adjudge the money to M"" Poyer and soe to himself, and that none of their measures might fail them, M^' Sam'i Clowes by name was appointed or at least appointed himself, to Implead, the Church w^ardens before the Court of Justices, and yet before he was one of tlie tw^o that were Designed to succeed the wardens in their office all this w^as well Taken, and for his Reward in pleading for himself he is made Cliurch w^arden -- we submit it to your Excellency what manner of proceedings these were.
