CHAPTER X
THE PART OF NEW-YORK IN THE STAMP ACT TROUBLES 1761-1768
IR CHARLES HARDY having resigned the post of governor, the king on March 20, 1761, on the recommen- dation of the Earl of Halifax and the Board of Trade, ap- pointed Robert Monckton governor and captain-general, and Cadwallader Colden lieutenant-governor. The vexed question of the office of chief justice was also finally disposed of by the ap- pointment of Benjamin Pratt to this important vacancy. 1 The officer now appointed as governor was a favorite in the colonies. A son of Viscount Galway, he was entitled to the social distinction which he re- ceived in the intimacy of the high families of the province, Mr. John Watts being one of his warmest personal friends. He began his career in Flanders, and was transferred in 1753 to the American station, where he successively commanded the posts of Halifax, Annapolis Royal, and Nova Scotia, of which he had been lieutenant-governor since 1756, during which period he also commanded the Royal Ameri- cans in Loudoun's army, was engaged at the siege of Louisburg, and later was second in command to General Wolfe at the capture of Quebec. Severely wounded in this action, he was promoted colonel, and in 1761 major-general. It may here be added that, although offered a command later in the war of the Revolution, he declined to draw his sword against the colonists who had fought under his com- mand in the French war.
General Monckton's commission reached New-York by the Alcide man-of-war on October 20, 1761, and on the 26th he was sworn in as governor. He was received with great enthusiasm by the people; the corporation of the city waited upon him with an address, and presented him with the freedom of the city in a gold box, at a cost of twenty- four pounds four shillings, as the minutes show. With his patent he received permission to quit the province and take command of the expedition fitting out against Martinique. He therefore abstained
1 This gentleman was also named and appointed ander for this place not having apparently met to the vacancy in the council, completing the with much consideration.

from any act of authority. He declined to receive Mr. John Cham- bers's resignation as judge, and seems to have confined himself to ac- cepting that of Mr. Archibald Kennedy from the council, as his age and his duties as collector of the customs were sufficient motives for withdrawal. He also recommended Mr. Joseph Reade for the vacancy on the board. On November 15 Major-General Monckton produced in council his leave of absence, and passed over the seals to Colden; but by one of those omissions not uncommon in the history of the colonies, the king's instructions to Governor Monckton, although men- tioned in his commission, did not arrive with it. The lieutenant-gov- ernor had called upon him to produce the missing document, and seemed inclined to question the legality of his assuming the office at all: a course which was neither approved by the council nor by the public at large. The feeling of disapprobation was silently displayed by the omission of the lieutenant-governor's name from the addresses and congratulations of public bodies, the judges, the bar, the grand jury, and others.
In the king's instructions to Sir Charles Hardy, Governor Monck- ton's predecessor, aud like him authorized to quit his government on the business of his Majesty's forces, directions were given that in such case one full moiety of the salary and of all perquisites and emolu- ments of the post should be paid to the lieutenant-governor. It must be held in mind that while the governor resided in the province the lieutenant-governor had neither salary nor emolument of any kind. It had been Monckton's intention to abandon his share to Colden, and he had ordered the preparation of a legal instrument of transfer, but, irritated by Colden's captious attitude in the matter of the instruc- tions, he changed his mind and in writing demanded of Colden a sur- render of his claim. Colden demurred, making a general promise to comply with the king's instructions when they should arrive. Colden openly told the governor that he hoped that the instructions would give to himself the whole perquisites. Monckton was on the point of suspending the lieutenant-governor without ceremony when mutual friends arranged covenants and a tripartite indenture between the two officers and Mr. Banyar, the secretary of the council. Monckton in- sisted that all perquisites should pass into Banyar's hands, and required bonds from Colden and Banyar for their faithful performance of the covenant, and stipulated that the accounts should be rendered on oath. On November 14 the fleet of one hundred sail-convoyed by the Alcide, of sixty-four guns; the Devonshire, of seventy-four; two of fifty, and one of forty guns-left Sandy Hook for Martinique. The government now again devolved on Colden.
Mr. Colden's second administration of the affairs of the province was closed by the return of General Monckton from the conquest of
