172 Assembly Proceedings, April 22-May 10, 1718.

U. H. J.

Writt of Certiorari for Removing the said Indictment into
the Pr^ll Court he there Audaciously and with an Insulting Air,
Sayd, let me see who dares try them by this Comission in fine
the Whole Course of his Life is so Turbulent and Disorderly
that he hath very rarely been Clear of some Criminall Prose-
cution or other in the Provinciall Court for many Years of
Some of which he hath been Convict of Altho his Artfull and
Audacious Managem^t of the Subtile and Tricking Part of the
Law hath Acquitted him from many more which with as
much Justice he Deserved Punishment for. That in many
more Instances too tedious to Insert the said Macnemara hath
Behaved himself with Insolence and Contempt, all which the
Sev^ll Justices after some Resentments have past Over in hope
of his Reformation but such is his Intolerable Pride and
Insolence that of Late he has not Scrupled to Insult and
affront his Excy Both as Gov^r & Keeper of the Great Scale as
may Evidently Appear from Two Indictments found ag^t him

P. 97

by the Grand Jury for this pvince And now Depending in that
Court and his Reason for his Suspention in the Chancery
Court of which their Lordships have been Impartiall Judges.
That since their Lordships Determination and Comands has
no Effect upon his proud and Turbulent Spirit we who have
the Honour of his Lordship's Commⁿ Dispair of puting the
Laws in due Execution for Punishm^t of Vice or maintenance
of Virtue and Justice without being the mark of his scorn &
Revenge which rather than be Liable to we again declare it
to be our firm Resolution that we will no Longer Continue
in that Station if so Turbulent and Insolent a p son be allowed
to Practise before them.

Gent His Excy having Off erred to this house that for three
Years last Past very few Patents have Issued out of my Lords
Land Office And that the Occasion thereof was that M^r
Charles Carroll would not Pass any Patents but what bore
Test, our Trusty and well beloved Charles Carroll Esq^r His
Lordships Chief Agent for land Affairs, Which being highly
Derogatory to the Office of the Keeper of the Great Scale of
this Province, his Excy did not think it Adviseable to Consent
