Majesty's Commands to Sir Henry Moore to grant no more of these Lands until further Order, as from the encouragements continually cireulating thro that, Country to that Import, which were there universally said and believed to come from Time to Time from Governor Wentworth, and this Deponent has no doubt that had it not been for those repeated Encouragements, the People would have been long since easy and content under the Jurisdiction of the Province of New York. And,this Deponent is very sure that the Majority of the Inhabitants of that Country are satisfied in remaining under the Jurisdiction of New York, and that the Strength of Opposition thereto, except on the West side of the Green Mountains is in the Inhabitants of Windsor and Westminster.

M. That this Deponent was in the month of August last at

Portsmouth in New Hampshire, and was desired by George Jeffries Esquire Treasurer of New Hampshire to breakfast with him, which he did--That the said M' Jeffries desired this Deponent to attend while he read a Representation on the part of New Hampshire respecting the Lands on the West side of Connecticut River in the Province of New York, and the Distresses of the Settlers there under New Hampshire, which the said M* Jeffries told the Deponent was to be transmitted to his Majesty, that .accordingly this Deponent heard the said Representation read by M? Jeffries, and that it contained Variety of Matter which this Deponent of his own knowledge knows to be false, and informed the said M Jeffries at that Time particularly thereof.
