Privy Council Advice on 1729 N LVIL and House Grants
The document discusses tensions between the governor and the late General Assembly over his Majesty's 23d Instruction. It notes that while the House avoided direct compliance, it showed intent to support the government, granting substantial sums for the governor’s upkeep. It argues that following the instruction could erode privileges of the House and Magna Carta rights, yet the assembly expresses a desire to fund public affairs out of the province treasury. The May term’s short session limited action, but on June 25 the Assembly approved treasury supply and later debated the governor’s allowance.
