Gentlemen, for assistance, in case of forraigne inuassions, it being a matter of waighty importance, it is left to the serious consideration of the Gen11 Assembly in May next.
In refference to what was moued about Capt" Scotts fine, the Deputies declare that they feare his fine will not sattisfye the charge and damage which he put this Colony to, but when that is issued the case may be farther considered.
Respecting what was moued about a speedy conuayance of of Lettrs, the Court will consider & aduice wth neighbour Colo- nyes, what will be best in that case.
The Court desires Mr. Willys and Mr. Richards to draw vp a writing in answer to what was moued about Duke Hamble- ton's Petition, and to present it to the next Courte.
[Note. The General Court of New Haven Colony, at their session in December, 1664, had assented, conditionally, to the necessity of union, and voted that, " in loyalty to the King's Maj- esty, when an authentic copy of the determination of his Majesty's Commissioners is published, to be recorded with us, if thereby it shall appear to our Committee that we are, by his Majesty's authority, now put under Connecticut Patent, we shall submit, by a necessity brought upon us, by the means of Connecticut aforesaid; but with a salvo jure of our former rights and claims, as a people, who have not yet been heard in point of plea." A Committee was accordingly appointed to confer with Connecticut and to complete the union. In a letter co Connecticut, Jan. 5th, 1664-5, Mr. Bishop, (a member of the New Haven committee, and by their order) writes that " having seen the copy of his Majesty's Commissioners' determination (deciding the bounds betwixt his highness the Duke of York and Connecticut charter,) we do declare submis- sion thereunto, according to the true intent of our vote, unto which we refer you." &c.
The union of the two colonies was now virtually complete. The Magistrates of New Ilaven, having been formally " invested with Magistratical power to assist in the government of those plantations & the people thereof," by the General Court of Connecticut, and " all other military and civil officers established in their respective places," continued to exercise their former authority in New Haven Colony, until the General Election in May : at which time the union was finally consummated, and the following Magistrates chosen to office for the ensuing year :
John Winthrop Esq., Governor. John Mason Esq., Deputy Governor. Assistants; Mathew Allyn Esq., Sanıll Willys Esq., Mr. Nathan Gold, Capt. John Talcot (& Treasurer,) Mr. Henry Wolcott, Lt. John Allyn, Mr. Samuel Sherman, Lt. James Richards, Mr. William Leete, Mr. Wil- liam Jones, Mr. Benjamin Fenn, Mr. Jasper Crane. Capt. Daniel Clarke, Secretary.
Of the Assistants, the four last named had been Magistrates in New Haven colony, the year preceding.
A list of such documents relating to the union, as have been preserved in the office of the Secretary of this State, with a partial abstract of their contents, is given in the Appendix, No- XII.]
