to a house took away a parcel of goods that was deposited ina house by an officer, Carryed them away over Connecticutt River into Hampshire, and Threatned to Do many other Felonious actions, vizt to go to Chester Pull Down ye Jail, and Deliver some Prisoners out of Jail, a true Representation whereof will be communicated to your Excellency by Joseph Lord Esq? one of the Judges of the Inferior Court of Common pleas for ye County of Cumberland, so that if the Jail had been in any one of the River Towns (so called) as prayed for by some the Jail had by said (mad) Rietors been pulled Down, your Excellency will therefore see that, it willon this account be best to continue the Jail and Courts in ye center of the County if no other Reasons were given but to prevent such sudden.mischiefs being perpetrated as may be done on a suddin heat of Passion.

I understand may it please your Excellency that the said Lord is about to make a Resignation of his office as Judge &e butas there is no person in the County that will fill up the vacancy so well, I beg your Excellency to Continue him in Office in the Next Commission that comes out.

As to the Nomination of ye Civil authority for ye County of Cumberland, that I Deliver'd to your Excellency, there is Two persons mentioned in the said Nomination that were not of my naming, And I think it would be better for the peace of the Towns, where they live as well as y° Peace of y® County not to make them Justices vizt William Davis and David Stone, Stone lives in Windsor amongst the Rietous Inhabitants where there is two parties and for this Reason I am of ye opinion that to omit appointing any Justice of ye Peace in Windsor for ye present will be best, but I submit my Judgment to your Excellency's wise Determination.
