Assembly Prorogation and Support Request in 1729
The Historical Register notes the prorogation of the Court by the Governor and the House’s Resolve to secure honorable, ample support. It records a Salem meeting August 23, 1729, and an adjournment to Cambridge on August 27 after answers to a prior message proved unsatisfactory. The governor rebukes the House for rejecting the 23d Instruction while praising Magna Charta as aligned with royal practice.
