furtlier Evidence to the same purpose, wliich tliey refused, yei your Memorialist believes that their advice to the people of Taquanuck, proceeded not from a desire that Justice might be done to your Memorialist, but was only designed to quiet him at that Time, and to procure an Opportunity of executing their Scheme without the presence or Interruption of your Memorialist For that after your Memorialist had left the said Committee and repaired to his Mannor House they gave Orders, as your Memorialist is informed and doth believe, to survey the Lands petitioned for by William Bull and others. Which was accordingly done on the eighteentli Instant by seven New England Men & four of your Memorialists Tenants sous, who ran out a Tract of Land containing ten Miles in Lengtli and four in Breadth or thereabouts in your Memorialists said Mannor. Since which time they have also taken possession of the said Lands by beginning to cutt a Tree-fence round it. Wliich Tract is some of the best Land in your Memorialists Mannor, and contains a Number of valuable Farms tliat have been setled between sixty and seven[ty] years, and yielded considerable llents to your Memorialist and !iis ancestors.

And your Memorialist further sheweth unto your Excellency, th.at some Time ago, one George Robiuso]! was imprisoned at tlie Suit of your Memorialist, for committing a Trespass on youi Memorialist Land in the said Mannor and carrying away his Goods, under pretence of the Right of the Massachusetts Bay, Whereupon the Government of the Massachusets bay ordered the said Joseph Dwigiit Esq*" to defend the said George Robinson in the suit aforesaid at their Expence, Who thereupon obtained a person in tlie City of Albany To become Bail for his appearance V»nuch Suit as it is still depending and defended by the said Government, appears to your Memorialist to be an Aiding and abetting of the said Trespass, and an Encouragement to future Trespasses of the like kind.
