James Innis, Colonell, now gone to the Ohio Expedition. William Dry, Lieutenant Colonel.
Thomas Jones, Formerly Major, but now has given up his Com- mission, and John Ashe, being Eklest Captain, now acts as Major to the Regiment, and has the best Right to have a Commission as Major, and his Lieutenant now Ought to have a Commission to be Captain of the Sound Company, whereof John Ashe was formerly Captain.
The Lieutenants and Ensigns were always made by the Field Officers and Commissions given them from the Commanding Field Officer to act as Lieutenants & Ensigns.
The Clerks, Corporalls & Serjeants are always made by the Cap- tain of Each Company.
We have no Arms nor Amunition from any of His Majesty's Stores belong to this Regiment, but are very much in want of a parcell to be Lodged near the Sea Shore for the Safety of the Lower parts of the River.
We have no Indians whatever in our Neighborhood Excepting now and then a few Tuskeroras that come and Hunt amongst us and go away again, never above Six or Eight at a time, and they but in a pore Condition of defence.
My observations on the Melitia Law now depending are as thus: Every Company to be obliged to nieet and Exercise at least four times in a year as Common Musters, and One a Year as General Muster. For Each Captain not attending at Common Musters, 30s. Fines at Common Musters to be Raised, Vizt .: For Each Private man, 6s. 8d; For Each Lientenant not attending at Common Mus- ters to be find 20s. ; For Each Ensign not attending at Common Mus- ters to be find 15s. ; For Each Serjeant taking on himself that oflice & not attending at Common Musters, Gs. 8d.
Captains to Grant Warrants to Serjeants to Levy the feese as above and the Serjeants to be Obliged to Serve Such Warrants and to Receive for Each Warrant that he Serves As. out of the goods so taken, or forfeit 20s. for every warrant that he Refuse to Serve, to be Recovered by warrant of the Captain directed to another Ser. jeant.
And for those that do not Attend at General Musters in their Sev- eral Offices to forfeit Double the Sum as for Private Musters.

THE WAR OF THE REGULATORS 1770 --- 1771.
MESSAGE FROM HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR RESPECTING HIS FEES, 1770.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly :
Agreeable to my promise in my Speech, I now send you a List of the Fees I have taken on each particular Instrument issued by me. WM. TRYON.
NEW BERN, the 20th November, 1770.
Sir :- From the report generally prevailing in the Country that the Body of People who style themselves Regulators intend coming to New Bern during the sitting of the ensuing General Assembly to in- timidate the Legislature Body, I think proper hereby to command you to assemble your Regiment on the first Notice you can get that the Insurgents are on their March, and to obstruct and oppose them in their progress through the Country to New Bern, and even to repel Force with Force. But should you find it out of your Power to collect a sufficient Number of Men in time to effect that purpose, I must require you in case they do come down to follow them to New Bern with all possible Expedition with your whole Regiment, in order to protect the Legislature and to preserve the peace of the Gov- ermment. It will be necessary for you to load as many Carriages with provisions as will subsist your men for one week at the rate of one pound and a half of meat and one pound of Flour for each man per day. I cannot conclude without acknowledgeing the grate- ful Sense I feel for the honorable Return you have made me of the Volunteers of Pitt County, An Example worthy of Imitation of every County in the province at this important Crisis.
