$C 415 ] Wednefday, September 6, 1732, SIR, — BY the Papers already printed, and thofe you have promifed, it looks as if you defigned, with the Affiflance of your Friends, to make the People of the Hand fully appris’d of the Affair concerning our late Go¬ vernor’s Salary, and the Disputes that have arifen thereupon ; in which, 1 think, you are to be commended, and I don’t doubt, but as it is a Matter wherein they are fo generally concern’d, they will reckon them- felves obliged to you for it. In Mr. Attorney's Opinion, which was in- ferted in your laft Gazette but one, there is Mention made of the Gover¬ nor’s New Inftruftions \ it cannot therefore, I prefume, be unfitting to let your Readers know, that, on the prefent King’s Renewal of Col. JVorJley's Com million,. His Majefly was pleafed to give an Additional Xnflrudlion, purely relating to the Salary that had been fettled by the Adi of the Hand. A Copy of this being delivered to me. foon after it came over, by a Friend of His Excellency’s, I have kept it by me ever lince, and it is as follows ; viz. “ And whereas it was reprefen ted to our late Royal Father, that 2000 /. u Sterling, per Ann. was not fufficient for fupporting the Honour of that Go- vernment. His faid late Majefly did allow the Affembly of our faid Hand, to make fuch Addition thereto, as they fhould think proper ; Provided the fame fhould be fettled upon you and your Succeffors, or at lead upon you, during the whole Time of your Government. And whereas the Affembly of our faid Hand did accordingly pafs an Adi, entitled, An Adi for fupporting the Honour and Dignity of the Government, whereby a further Sum, in Addition to the aforefaid two thoufand Pounds, was fettled on <c you, for fo long Time as you fhould continue Capt. General and Gover- C£ nor in Chief of that our faid Hand, and fhould in that Quality perfo- nally refide there, which Adi was confirmed by our faid late Royal Father, in his Privy Council ; Our Will and Pleafure therefore is, that you may LC continue to rereive the faid Additional Salary fettled on you by the laid tc Adi, any Thing to the contrary in thefe Inftrudlions notwithflanding.” F rlnt. p. 43.
