I have been Informed by M^r Scarborough that Several People

in Contempt of all Law and Government. I desire you will
be so Good as to Inquire of M^r Scarborough about these

Some of the most Refractory of the offenders for Bail for their
Appearance at the Provincial Court, and if they refuse to give
Bail to commit them. I am
S^r

delivered to me in behalf of his Majestys Governors, from the
Ohio Indians, and their Allies, you will See Plainly the Neces-
sity of turning your Attention to what is doing in that Part
of the world
You cannot be insensible that the Six Nations have of late
left their old Habitations and Settled on the Branches of the
Mississippi and are become more Numerous there than in the
Countrys they Left at which both the French and the Council
at Onondago are not a little allarmed.
If my Information be true, and I have it from Persons of
undoubted Credit, these Refugees of the Six Nations (If I
may use the term) the Shawones and Delawares, with their
