Remarkable Indian Chiefs and Royal Church Ceremonies Amid War News
A report from New England describes Governor Jonathan Belcher hosting a conference with Native chiefs at Deerfield in early September. They pledged loyalty to King George II, opposed debt imprisonment for their people, and supported Christian instruction led by Sargent and Woodbridge. The piece also notes bells for St Peter’s Westminster, a ship incident in Dumfries, a London court case on usury, and Dublin mortality data.
