Preservation of Prerogative Validates Governor in Refusing Assent
The Historical Register states that State acted rightly to preserve his Majesty's prerogative and Governor's authority by refusing assent to the House resolution to move the General Court to Cambridge. Lords condemn the House for overstepping, noting Governor Sute's zeal, and that the Crown approves the report. The board finds no basis for fears of future suits if savings are not required, citing Dudley's Cambridge move in 1702 as precedent.
