538 Assembly Proceedings, April 5-22, 1720.

U. H. J.

in a matter of so great Importance to the Welfare of the
Inhabitants of this Province Being of Opinion that 'tis much
Easier & better to prevent an Aggrievance than to be put to the
necessity of seeking redress after we have Suffered it
We cannot conceive that the Debts being sold, or M^r Mac-
nemara's Death can be any Security ag^t the like Aggrievances
for the future, because Undoubtedly those psons who have
purchased those Debts (if any such there be) will be very
Vigilant for the recovery of them and we have too much
reason to fear they may be readily Supplyed with some pson
to psecute them whose Principles and Practices may be as
pernicious as M^r Macnemara's.
We take this Matter to be yett of more Concern to this

province since His Excy the Gov^r our then Chancellor seems
Charged by the s^d Com^rs with Obstructing his Majesty's Ser-
vice in these matters He acted no Otherwise in relation thereto
than as Judge in Chancery and we must Account it a most
fatall Enemy to Impartial Justice if the Consciences of our
Judges should be Influenced by any Power to a Conformity
with any Interest whatever the Consequences deserve Your
Consideration
