or Royal Highland Regiment: Also the Petition of Henry Ext-_ ley, Godfried Brookman and Johannes Snouse with sundry | affidavits and other Papers relative to several late Riots in the | County of Charlotte, committed by Seth Warner, Remember Baker, one Allen, and other Persons unknown, in which they destroyed a Grist Mill, the property of Col Reid, burnt the Houses | of his Tenants, and pulled down those of the Petitioners Brook- | man and Snouse, in the neighborhood of Otter Creek, and his Excellency requiring the Advice of the Board thereupon. The Council considering the Frequency and dangerous Tendency of such Disorders, which have hitherto proved beyond the Power of the civil Magistrates to suppress--That nothing | less than a Military Force in aid of the civil authority can restrain and put a stop to these daring outrages, and that such assistance is become absolutely and unavoidably necessary to enforce obe--- dience to the Laws, and restore Tranquility in that part of the Jountry; are therefore unanimously of opinion, and do humbly advise his Excellency, to request the Commander in Chief of his Majesty's Forces to order a sufficient number of Troops to occupy the Posts of Tionderoga and Crown Point, and the officers commanding* them to give such aid to the civil Magistrate, as he shall from Time to Time require for the preservation of the publick Peace, and the due Execution of the Laws.
