¹ Two men of this name attended the Assembly; the burgess for St. Michael's Hundred was identified as a carpenter.
² His initial election to represent a St. Leonard's Hundred was ruled invalid because the hundred was not yet legall
established and no writ had been issued for an election there. Bishop's election to represent Mattapanient Hundred wa
then reported.

³ Representation on this committee, appointed "to consider all bills," was clearly based on a rudimentary sense of geo-
graphical balance and probably on literacy.

actually attended.
