In case you have information at

Dear Sir : I have to acknowl
edge your great courtesy in furn
ishing me information regarding
the proper spelling of the name cf
your city, and particularly in en
trusting to me a volume of the
laws of North Carolina 1793. I
examined the latter with interest
and return it to you, and trust it
will reach you safely.
The fact which you have given
me will doubtless lead the board to
the adoption of the spelling f the
name Newbern.

Newbern, N. C, June 10, '91.
Henry Gannett, Esq., Chairman
Ex. Committee, etc:
Dear Sir: Yours to our City
Clerk has been handed to me with
request that I would reply to it.
From the earliest information
that I can obtain up to the year
1862 the name of the town was
jpelled Newbern. The name under
which it was chartered was New
bern. I send you a bound copy of
the Acts of the General Assembly
published in'1793. By reference to
it you will see the laws passed by
the General Assembly which was
then held at Newbern, N. C, while
under King George the II and King
George III. In numerous places,
in fact all over the book, reference
is made to the town of Newbern, N.
C. One among the very first acts
is in regard to Newbern, N.
C, dating back to 1715.
I send you a copy of the charter of
the town of Newbern, chartered by
act of General Assembly in 1723.
A number of amendment shave been
made but no change has legally been
made in spelling Newbern. New
bern was settledjand named in 1710.
Incorporated 1723.
I send you a copy of the Acts of
the GenerallAssembly held at Eden
ton, N. C, George I, the 23d day
of November, 1723: Whereas, A
certain plot of ground was formerly
laid out into a township by the name
of Newbern, same is declared, con
firmed, and incorporated into a
township by the name of Newbern.'
In 1866, General Assembly
"North Carolina: "That the corpor
ation heretofore existing as the
Town of Newbern, shall hereafter
be established and known as the
City of Newbern."
Refer to Hawks report, Supreme
Court of N. C, case, Vestry of the
Protestant Episcopal church o
Newbern vs. Trustees Newbern
Academy, argued by William Gas
ton and John Stanly, all through
the case it is Newbern. Judge
Gaston and Mr. Stanly doubtless
knew the legal name of it. A large
number of the old citizens have
always continued to spell it New
bern.
In 1862 Newbern was captured
by the forces under General Burn
