Lords of Trade
May it please your Lordships
I did myself the honour of writing your Lordships the 1 Currant. Agreeable to what I then mentioned His Majestys Council met the 11 inst & I now Cover to your Lordships what they did on that Occasion by which your Lordships will see they were against tak- ing any Steps relating to the late Riot till the Arrival of His Majestys Orders on this head which are earn- estly & daily expected by this Legislature & this whole Province.
I have so often represented to the Assembly of this Province the unhappy Confusions and disorders that have here Subsisted for 10 or 12 years past & have so warmly prest them to Join with the Gov" & Council in some suitable Measures for Suppressing & rooting out the Vile Spirit of Rioting and to no purpose yt when I shall meet them again I hardly know what to add & these things I have as often faithfully Represented to your Lordships nor do I think any thing will stop the Course of such Seditious and Riotous proceedings but the Arrival of such Wise Orders as His Majesty shall think fit to give in an Affair of such Importance for Supporting the Kings honour and Authority as well as the peace and Welfare of His Subjects in this Province & I heartily wish such Orders may soon come to hand. I am with great Respect
My Lord Your Lordships Most Obedient Humble Servant

I observe you had been at the Board of Trade to set forth the Irregularity and disproportion of the num- bers of Councillors fixt in the two districts of this Pro- vince wch indeed is a violation upon the Original Com- pact between the Crown & the Proprietors of East & West New Jersey & which was specially stipulated at the Surrender of the Government of this Province to the Crown by the said Propriet's
I take a particular notice of what you say about your sending over Copy of the Order of the Privy Council & I think the Step you took by way of Molli- fication to be quite prudent after a Mans saying to such great People what he reasonably cou'd for his Justification if it will not be accepted there's no Con- tending & I really think what you did was very Inno- cent & what in Duty you ow'd to your Constituents.
But I am sorry to tell you that Immediately after the Order already mentioned was re'd to the Assembly it was shown to several Members of the Council by a principal Member of the House of Assembly by one who pretends to be y' frd but whom I can assure you from near š years Experience has it not in his nature to be a Sincere friend to any body nor do I trust him in any Affairs relating to my Administration nor shou'd you in any you cou'd well avoid because I am Satisfyd he wou'd at any time betray you to J. A 1 and

the rest of the Council under his Influence and to go on with this man I owe him no sort of Obligation altho' he is under many to me I therefore wonder how he cou'd possibly take the Word of Gratitude into his mouth I say be cautious be cautious about him for the future.
To whom you wrote the private Letter about your Conversation with Charles Townsend Esq I know not but I think you ought to be very Carefull to whom you write as to my Self I sacredly promise you that whatever you please to Commit to my Secrecy it shall remain as lockt up in your own breast for I shall al- ways rejoice to do you all the good Offices I can & according to the best of my Understanding avoid doing any thing that may have a Tendency to your prejudice or disservice.
Least I shou'd forget I again caution you again of hav'g any thing to do with the Rioters in any way or manner whatsoever unless you are minded to destroy yourself & me with respect to this Province. They are I assure you a sett of Impudent, Lawless Rascals and there seems remaining among them the same Seditious Spirit as heretofore and to show it when ever they judge it a. proper Opportunity nor do I think they will ever be supprest but by some Severe Orders from the Crown & they carryed well into Execution. %

Circular Letter to the Governors of His Majesty's Plan- tations in America, recommending them strictly to adhere to their Instructions, and not to pass any laws inconsistent therewith, etc.
[From P. R. O. B. T. Plantations_General, No. 39, Ent. Book K, p. 318.]
To [Jonathan Belcher] Esq" His Majesty's Gov- ernor of [New Jersey ]
WHITEHALL June 3rd 1752
Sir
Having taken into our Consideration the General Instructions given by His Majesty to his Governors of the several Colonies and Plantations in America, We observed with concern that the Experience of late Years furnishes too frequent Instances in which many of those Instructions have been dispensed with and neglected upon slight and unwarrantable Pretences. As the Instructions are calculated in general for the support of His Majesty's Prerogative and the Protection of His Subjects in their just Rights, for the establish- ing and preserving good Government in his Colonies and promoting the Welfare, Quiet and Prosperity of them, a due and uniform Observance of those Instruc- tions must greatly contribute to so desirable ends: We therefore think it Our Duty to recommend it to you and to all the Governors of His Majesty's Colonies and Plantations strictly to adhere to your Instructions and not to deviate from them in any point but upon evident necessity justified by the particular circum- stances of the case, and whenever that happens you are forthwith to transmit to Us, in the fullest and most explicit manner your Reasons for such Devia- tions But at the same time We must acquaint you, it is expected that you do apply for previous Directions
64
ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNOR BELCHER. [1752
from hence in all Cases when the occasion will admit of such a Delay.
The passing of Laws in a Method inconsistent with His Majesty's Instructions, (which has been too often practised) is manifestly of great Detriment to the pub- lick Service, and the occasion of many Difficulties, in as much as those Laws though they contain the most salutary provisions, cannot receive the Royal Appro- bation but by His Majesty's dispensing with his In- structions, We must therefore in a particular manner insist that in the passing of all Laws you have a proper regard to the Regulations contained in your In- structions.
And whereas some particular Parts of the Instruc- tions given by his Majesty to his Governors may, from the Alteration of Circumstances, have become obsolete useless, or improper, We desire that you will without delay consider and revise, with the strictest attention the Instructions given to you, as well the general ones as those which relate to the Acts of Trade and Naviga- tion, and transmit to Us your Opinion of such parts of them as shall appear to you useless, improper or liable to Objection together with your Reasons for such Opinion, that We may take those Reasons into Con- sideration and propose to His Majesty such Altera- tions as shall upon mature Deliberation appear to be proper and expedient.
So We bid you heartily farewell and are,
Your very loving Friends
and Humble Servants

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR LORDSHIPS
With this, goes Duplicate of my last of 3ª Currant, since which, I have nothing material to Communicate to Your Lordships, respecting the Affairs of this Prov- ince, any more than that, I have after a long time, receiv'd from the several Treasurers of this Province, their Accounts of the Receipts and Payments of money~ -Viz!
From Andrew Johnston Esq Treasurer of the Eastern district, his Account from October 1734 to October 1751
And from Samuel Smith Esq Treasurer of the Wes- tern district, his Account from 1733, to 1751.
As I have formerly Advised Your Lordships, these Accounts cannot be Attested, by His Majesty Surveyor General, as the Customs of this Province, he living at Three hundred Miles distance, and has never been in this Province, since my Arrival, but Your Lordships will find, the Accounts Sworn to by the Treasurer of each district, and are made out, in the best manner,
They can be procured here, and yet I am Sensible they are very imperfect which I don't wonder at, since I find the Records, of all the Publick Offices here, are kept in a very loose indifferent way, nor can it indeed be well otherways, while the Publick Officers, are so meanly Supported, for the two Treasurers together, have not an Allowance, of fifty Guineys a year *
