[* This was probably among the last official acts of Gov. Jacob Leisler and his Council. Two days before this, Major Richard Ingoldesby, commissioned by the newly appointed Governor, Sir Henry Sloughter, had arrived in New York and issued a proclamation asserting his authority and demanding possession of the fort in the name of the new Governor, which Leisler had refused to surrender. The Huntington patent had been detained first by Gov. Dongan, and then in turn by Gov. Leisler, on one pretext and another. Now, while Leisler was calling on all the towns to send soldiers to New York to assist him in holding the government of the colony against Major Ingoldesby, Huntington probably thought the time opportune for demanding its charter. The demand was successful, as the document was ordered on record and its validity established. As will be presently seen, in a month Huntington sent men to the city to welcome the new Governor.
