"October 17, 1654. No man, although a ffreeman shalbe accepted as a deputie of the Genll Court, that is unsound in judgment concerninge the mayne poynts of the Xstian religion as they have bin held forth & acknowledged by the generalitie of the P'testant orthodox writers, or that is scandalous in his conversation or that is unfaythfull to this government." (Massachusetts Colony Records, vol. iii., p. 357.)
October 18, 1654, the General Court ordered the constables of every town in the colony to re- port the name or hames of the deputies chosen, and their term of service, whether for one session or for the whole year. All persons so chosen, who were absent from the General Court, when it was in session, without just cause, were subject to a fine of twenty shillings a day for every such default. (Massachusetts Colony Records, vol. iv., part i., p. 203.)
In order to promote and facilitate the consideration of important public questions, the General Court declared, November 2, 1654,
" Whereas it is judged most comly, convenient, & conduceable to the dispatch of publicke ser- vice, that the Deputyes of ye Gen!I Court should uyett together, especially at dynner, it is there- fore ordered, that the Deputyes of the Genll Court, the next ensuing yeare, viz 1655 shall all be pvided for at the Shipp Taverne, at Boston, in respect of dynner, & yt they shall all accordingly dyne together & that Lieut Phillips, the keeper of the sd taverne, shalbe payd for ye same by the Treasurer for the tyme being, by discounting the same in the custome of wyne payable by the sd Lieut Phillips & that the Treasurer shalbe repayd by the seuall townes &c &c." (Massachusetts Colony Records, vol. iii., p. 352.)
November 12, 1654, an agreement was made with Lieut. Phillips to furnish the members of the next General Court with breakfast, dinner, and supper, with wine and beer between meals, with fire and beds, for three shillings per day,-" A cup of wine to each man at dinner, and at supper, and no more," - with the further proviso that beer should be furnished between meals to those members only who "partake of breakfast, dinner and supper at the taverne and pay for the same." (Massachusetts Colony Records, vol. iii., p. 353.)
* March 6, 1664-5, Mr. Edward Woodman was chosen deputy to the General Court for the first session. (Town of Newbury Records.)
" May 3, 1665 There appearing no deputy at this Court from the toune of Newbury, wch this Court cannot but take notice of & declare against & therefore doe here by impose the fine of tenn pounds vpon the freemen of the said toune, to be payd to the Treasurer of the Country, for such there neglect." (Massachusetts Colony Records, vol. iv., part ii., p. 149.)
At this session of the General Court, Col. Richard Nicolls, Sir Robert Carr, George Cart- wright, esq., and Samuel Maverick, esq., commissioners appointed by the king, urged the removal of certain restrictions imposed upon Churchmen and Quakers; and questions of importance relating to the territorial limits of the colony of Massachusetts Bay were discussed.
" July 28, 1665 Mr. Joseph Hill was chosen to serve the towne as Deputy for this next session of ye general Court." (Town of Newbury Records.)

* Special session of the General Court, at which the oath of allegiance to King Charles II. was submitted and signed by the deputies. The names of these deputies are not given in the Massachusetts Colony Records; but Nicholas Noyes was chosen by the town of Newbury, Sep- tember 19, 1678, " to serve at the next session of the Court until it be ended."
. t The names of the deputies at this session of the General Court are not given in the Massa- chusetts Colony Records ; but Richard Bartlet, sr., was chosen by the freemen of Newbury, September 19, 1679, to attend the court "until it be ended."
# A decree was entered, June 21, 1684, in the High Court of Chancery in England, annulling the charter of the colony. This decree was confirmed October 23, 1684. (Palfrey's History of New England, vol. iii., p. 394.) In the short time that elapsed between the abrogation of the charter and the death of King Charles II., no change was made in the government of the colony. When James II. became king of England, he issued a proclamation, February 6, 1684-5, directing all persons in authority in the colonies to continue in the discharge of their duties until further orders.
The General Court of Massachusetts assembled May 27, 1685, and prepared an address to the king, asking for justice and leniency. Disheartened and despondent, the inhabitants of many towns in the colony declined to elect deputies ; but Newbury sent Richard Bartlett, with instructions to remain until the session was ended.
Official notice of the abrogation of the charter and the organization of a provisional govern- ment, consisting of a president, deputy president, and sixteen councillors, to manage and direct public affairs in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, was communicated to the General Court, May 14, 1686.
Joseph Dudley was appointed president, Edward Randolph, Robert Mason, and others were members of the council ; but no mention was made of a representative assembly or House of Deputies.
Protesting against these arbitrary proceedings, the General Court considered it advisable to surrender its political rights and privileges without a contest, and quietly submit to the organiza- tion of a new government. May 20, 1656, a committee was appointed by the deputies and magistrates to receive from Edward Rawson, secretary, the records and papers relating to the charter and to the negotiations with the king and Parliament that preceded and followed its repeal, and retain possession of them until otherwise ordered. This done, " the whole Court met at the Governor's house," and voted to adjourn " until the second Wednesday in the month of October next, at eight o'clock in ye morning." It did not reassemble.
December 20, 1686, Sir Edmund Andros, having been appointed " Governor in chief in and over the territory and dominion of New England," arrived in Boston and assumed control of public affairs. His administration lasted two years and four months. During that time the laws enacted by the governor, with the consent of his council, were sent to England to be approved by the king.
No sessions of the General Court were held until after the revolution which resulted in the

t Second session of the General Court. February 4, 1764, Governor Bernard signed an act incorporating the town of Newburyport, passed January 24, 1764.
# For political reasons the members of the General Court were notified by Lieut. Gov. Hutchinson to meet in Harvard college at Cambridge. At the first session, the question of the legality of assembling the legislature at any other place than in the town house in Boston was discussed ; and the representatives resolved that, so long as the assembly was constrained to re- main at Cambridge, it was " by no means expedient to proceed to business." This resolution they reaffirmed at the second session, held two months later. At the third session, which assembled September twenty-sixth, the General Court proceeded, under protest, to enact a few important laws, and adjourned November 20, 1770.
§ The General Court met in Boston May twenty-fifth. Three days later General Gage, then governor of the province, adjourned the court to meet in Salem, June seventh. When the mem- bers reassembled in Salem, they passed some resolutions that were considered revolutionary, and Jnne seventeenth the governor issued a proclamation dissolving the General Court. This proc- lamation was read by the secretary upon the stairs leading to the representatives' chamber, which was locked against him.
I A week before the time fixed for the meeting of the General Court at Salem, Gov. Gage, deemiog it impracticable, owing to the tumult and excitement prevailing in Boston and elsewhere,
