ON TucQjy the 17th ultimo, the time for the Court o
General Seflion; of the Peace, and Inferior Court a
CommonPieas for thia County to fit, a great' Number of Peo
ple from this, and the neighbouring Counties of Plymouth and
Bristol, being aflembled before the Court-Honfe Door in this
Town j alter choosing a Moderator, voted and rsfolved.Thai
it was inexpedient for said Courts to fit, under the prefeni
Situation of oar public Affairs, until the Opinion of the
Continental ar of a Provincial Cdngrefa could be known ; and
therefore chose a Committee, vis. Dr. Nathaniel Freeman
and Mr. Stephen Nye, of Sandwich, Capt. Daniel Crocker,
cf Bamftable, Capt. Noah Fearing, of Wareham, and Dr.
John Pitcher, of Rochester, to present th.: following Add es
to the Justices of find Court, being then convened at lb.
House of Mr. Crocker, Innholder in this Town.
*7, the Honorable Juftitet of bit Majefty't Inferior Court
of Camun Plea if ar.d Court of Gmeml-SeJUu of tbe
Peace, fir tbe County of Bamftable.
« May it pteate your Honors,
« T H E inhabitants of this Province, being greatly alarm
ed at the late unconstitutional Afis of the Britilh Parliament,
, confining them as calculated to eftabliffi Tyranny and Op-
of the once happy Constitution of this PrurinCe
in Conference of which many refpefiable Counties l i Che
some, have prevented the fitting of the Inferior Courts, as well
as Superior; we judge, not from an Apprehenfi-m, merely,
that were not canfitutional ; but, from a foppofitfon, that
there might be Appeate from them to the Superior Court, the
Chief Justice of which receiving his Support from the Crown,
independent of the Grants bf the People, cannot fail to have
an unhappy biafs in favour of said unconstitutional Afis; and
two others, of the Superior Judges, having fwom to carry the
fame Afis into execution ; and judging, that by proceeding
upon Appeals from a Court friendly to the Constitution, and
aealorn for their Country’s Cause, to the Cud Superior-Court,
we might in tbit way, if no other, open a Door for the laid
Chief Justice and his Aftiftants to execute their Cooamiflions
on the Plan of the said oppreftive Afi.
a great Number of tbe Inhabitants of the
- being now convened, with many others
♦ant'Jwal Counties in Old Plymouth Colony, taking
Confident 1 ™ the Neccffitv of ufteg avert Pro
duct an to prevent the Operation at Bm Afin and oeftevmg
the following one neceflary, do humbly roquet 1 . ymr Honours
to desist from all Bufinels in said Courts, and from holding any
Seflions thwtot, till the Minds of the Continental, nr of a
Provincial Congress, be obtained—And that your Honors
Would allure this Body, that you will not, in any Manner,
aflift in carrying said unconstitutional Afis into Execution,
hold any Commissions in Confluence of said Afis, and upon
the new Eftablilhment, or in any Manner conform thereto ;
but that you will use your utmost Endeavours to prevent the
lame from taking Place.

« Bamftable, Sept. D. Cro.ktr, I to present this Address

The Address being presented accordingly, the Justices after
taking the fame into Conlideration, returned the following
Answer, via. .
« To Nathaniel Freeman, John Pttcber, Stephen Nee, and
Noah Fear mg, a Commit tea at they fay, chosen by tbe Body
of tbe People, to present an Addreft, tbit ft
t ember, 177*, to tbe Honorable Jtftieet of Lu Infe
rior Court of Common Pleat, and Court if General Scjfioni of
tbe Peace .--Said Addreft being prefaced to tbe Jdptcet of
said County, or at leaf at many at are prefont : Tbe said
Tufticet in Answer thereto fay 1
* That they are as much concerned at the late uaconftitu
tiond Afis of the Britilh Parliament, u the Body of the
People are ; but apprehend, that the People’s embodying this
Dav, to hinder laid Court’s fitting aa tifual, will not help the
Matter; efpeciaUy as said Court was about to fit m the fame
confatutional Way as we have always done ever since we have
hyn a County ; and had laid Court been Offered to have
i been opened, they w mid have proceeded in the fame regular
Manner as usual, and as to Appeals, Ihould there be any, they
I will be to the next Superior Couit of Judicature, tec. and
‘ they can ft t poflibiy be tried, till we have a cnnfKtutional one:
I And we are ferry that we are interrupted, for unleU we
I can proceed to open said Courts and adjourn, we can be in no
Capacity to proceed when we hear the Opinion of the general
Congress, or a Provincial one ; and as to the Aflurance you
reoueft, that we would not aflift in carrying find unconftitu-
Afi into execution, yon may be fully allured, that there
is not one of the feid Juftker, that incline to do it, or to
hold any Comtmflbn in Consequence thereof ; and shall do
all that is in our power in a cnftintunal Way, to
said Afi from taking Place.——Therefore, we tbe bud Jufticts,
express our utmost concern that the said Courts of Justice, in
this, or any other County, ftnuld be turned out of their ords
nary, or conftitutiond Course, by the People of this Province,
amtll the Minds es the Continental or a Province! Congress
can be folly known, as we can by no Means apprehend tha'
any ill Consequences can attend the letting of fad Court, un
til this Month expires. .

the court had ofieted, they ffiU thought it inexpedient for
them to let, and that their answer foou'd be immediately re
turned them, « being by no means fatisfafirty in any particu
lar. A committee of tbe body accordingly returned it, -and
informed the justices, that the people desired to know whe
ther they determined to firt or not, a» a court; the justices
then told the committee they ihould not.—A cotpm ttce
then waited on them by order of the people, and desired
them to sign a solemn declaration, that they would not accept
of any commifliun, in cunlequc ice of _ the late afia of the
Ikitilh p« liasMnt,or do any bufincla, in their offi
ces, in confiremity thereto; they also waited on the bigh

and Sheaijaffiub Bourn, Elquiies, to acquaint them of the
rafencment and just indignation of the pc >ple towards them,
tor afidrefiing the late infamont governor Hutchins n, upon
hie departure from this province ; whereby they used their en
deavours to Cpport, encourage, and applaud, a known trai
tor, and inveterate memy, to the country.-—That fold ad
dress was, in the afpirhemion of the people, no left faife
and deligning, than flattering and fulfomc, and discovered the
unparaileilcd vanity, insolence and audacity of tbe addicflurs,
in daring, openly, to contradifi tbe united exprefled senti

America ; by which condufi, they have forfeited the eftcem
of tfa pubic, and eniilied under the banners of laid liuiclua
ton, aa enem os to the cause of liberty; for which they
ought immediately to make lau.fafilon to the offitnded public.
The Justices and Sheriff signed the refpefiive declaration,
and the addrelfors the refpvfiive confeftiont, cnc'ofod hpMt
with, which were voted iatisfafiory.
The body of people then voted and refolred, that t» 'fWPy

therefore a committee was chosen to apply to, and acquaint i hem
herewith, and to defiie them to efign accordingly ; and also
to apply to the deputy Iberifts for them to lign a declaration,
refpefiing said opprcllive afis, suitable to their office.
The body of the people also voted to address the honorable
James Otis, Elq; of this town, as one of the constitutional
Couisccllorsuf the provi.ice, and pray his honor’s attendance
at the General-Court, to be hnlden at Salem on the sth day
