Governor Burnet and Assembly salary dispute in the colony
The document discusses royal instructions for a governor salary, noting the Assembly’s refusals to set a proper salary. It praises Governor Burnet for upholding the king’s instructions, and urges Parliament in Britain to fix a salary of five hundred pounds sterling per annum for the governor for the duration of his term to secure loyalty and proper law enforcement. The Queen was advised and approved the Privy Council’s recommendation.
