appear to us that the Representation made by His Majestys Governor and Council of New Hampshire contains a variety of matter well deserving your Lordships attention and we think that there is too good reason to believe that many of the Proprietors of Lands in the Townships granted by the Gov" of New Hampshire who have bona fide made actual settlement and improvement thereon have sustained great injury and suffered great oppression by the irregular conduct of the Govr and Council of New York in granting Warrants of Survey for Lands » under such actual Settlement and Improvement yet sucha reprehensible conduct on the part of the Kings Servants in New York ought not in our Judgment to weigh the scale of consideration against those principles of true policy and sound Wisdom which appear to have dictated the proposition of making the River Connecticut the boundary line between the two Colonies and therefore we cannot advise your Lordships to recommend to his Majesty to make any aikeastion in that measure.

With regard to the conduct of his Majestys Governor of New York in having departed from the letter of his Instruction matter which must be submitted to your Lordships consideration upon the grounds and reasons asigned by that Gentleman in his letter of the 24 of February last But we think it necessary | to say] to your Lordships that it is a step of sucha nature as to have rendered nugatory and impracticable almost every proposition contained in the Report of this Board of the 6 of June 1771 and has as well for that reason as on account of the further information contained in these papers respecting the state of that District made it necessary for us take up the consideration of it upon new ground and to recommend to your Lordships a variety of new Propositions.
