188 HISTORICAL CHRONICLE. that beat out a ftrong tooth, and brought him to the ground; that then the prifoner fell upon him and gave him feveral blows on the head with a ftone, one of which cut him dangerously, and caused a great effufion of blood; that he left him on the floor in this condition, for what purpose Mr. Cater could not certainly tell, but either to lock the outer door, or to call in accomplices to rob the chamber, Mr. Cater could not fay which; but, very providentially, he bad ftrength enough to get by a private door to a window, from whence he gave the alarm, and the villain was apprehended. He was fentenced to fuffer 3 years imprisonment in Newgate. It was a queftion with the lawyers, whether the prifoner could have been tried on the black act; but, to the honour of Mr. Cater, he would not fuffer the law to be trained to punish even fo barbarous a villain. Tuesday 19. At the university of Cambridge, three graces, containing the refolutions, already recited p. 161, were offered by the ViceChancellor, and were all rejected. The numbers in favour of thofe refolutions which related to the noblemen and fellow-commoners, were 43; against them 47. As fome of the opponents afferted that the feverity of the penalty upon nonattendance was the reafon of their dislike, Dr. Gordon, immediately after the rejection of the three graces, propofed the fubitance of the two first refolutions, viz. "That there be annual examinations of the noblemen and fellow-commoners," in a grace by itself; which paffed the caput, but was afterwards rejected. A motion was made by Mr. Fuller, in the H. of C.

The bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read again.

HISTORICAL CHRONICLE. Commons, for leave to bring in a bill for an act of infolvency, which being feconded, and the queftion put, it was carried almoft unanimously. A motion was made for leave to bring up a petition, praying, that the bill for Tegu ating the civil government of the province of Maffachufet's-bay, and the bill for the more impartial administration of juftice there, might not pafs into laws, till the agent from the province can receive inftructions from thence to oppofe it; but this motion, after a warm debate, was rejected. Saturday 30. The English having a claim to fome duties on fugars, at the island of Toracola (fometimes called Crabb Ifland), a fmall island near Porto Rico, Sir Ralph Payne, the English Chief Governor in that part, fent a fhip of Admiral Parry's fquadron to the ifland upon this business. The Spanish Governor of Porto Rico, being informed of the arrival of the English ship, fent to the Captain to know if he wanted water, &c. or for what purpose he came there. The Captain informed him of the object of this vifit; upon which the Spanish Governor infifted, the island belonged to the crown of Spain. This information throwing another light (or being, perhaps, a new claim) upon the matter, Sir Ralph Payne and Admiral Parry thought it molt advifeable to poftpone any further altercation till they received particular inftructions from hence, and accordingly fent home Mr. Fortefcue (brother-in-law to Lord Ancram) with an account of the whole affair. In the mean time, the Spanish Governor of Porto Rico has fent another account to Madrid. Such is the state of this business. AMERICAN AFFAIRS. The following is the fubftance of some proceedings at Bofton, in New England, as related in the Boston Gazette of February 21. Saturday Feb. 12, the Secretary of the province was directed by the House of Reprefentatives, without delay, to deliver to his Excellency the Governor a remonftrance and petition, for the removal of Peter Oliver, Efq; from the fuperior court. In this remonstrance they fay, that Peter Oliver, Efq; Chief Juftice of the fuperior court, hath plainly given the houfe to understand, by a writing under his hand, his refolution for the future to accept the falary and reward for his fervices from his Majefty during his refidence in the province as Chief Justice of the faid fuperior court, which the faid Peter Oliver, Efq; from his own knowledge of the charter and conftitution of the province, must have known to be 189. contrary to the plain fenfe and meaning of the charter, and again the known conftitution of this province; they therefore pray, that the faid Peter Oliver, Efq may not be fuffered any longer to fit and act in his office of Chief Juftice, but that he be removed without delay from the faid court. On Tuesday the Governor fent a meffage to the house, of which the following are the most material paffages: "I think it proper to acquaint you, that his Majefty having been pleafed to direct warrants to be prepared for the payment of falaries to the Chief Justice and to the other Juftices of the fuperior court, I received, as Governor of the province, the earlieft notice of this declaration of his Majefty's pleasure, in order as I conceive that, as far as might appertain to me, I fhould conform thereto." "If I fhould comply with your requeft, or take any fteps in order to the removal of the Chief Justice from his place, merely for receiving what is thus granted him by the King, I fhould make myfelf chargeable with counteracting his Majefty, and endeavouring to defeat his royal intentions exprefsly fignified to me, with a contempt of his royal authority, and with a breach of the truft repofed in me by my commission, and I should fear fome mark of his royal difpleasure. I am therefore, in duty to the King, obliged to decline your request. "I will by the first opportunity tranfmit a copy of your remonftrance to be laid before the King, and I fhall conform to fuch farther fignification of his Majefty's pleasure as I may hereafter receive." New York, Feb. 10.
