The Hon. Lieut. Governor of the Province laid before the Board a Petition of Pere Gaulins who being come to make his submission to the government, desired the advice and opinion of the Board thereon.
|
|
|
|
The said Petition being read and considered, the Board upon the Consequence of the whole, resolved that the said Monsieur Gaulin would make ample submission and beg pardon for his past faults, (for which there we're evident proofs) take the Oaths of fidelity to His Majesty King George and the Crown of Great Britain, never to intermeddle in the affairs of the Government either amongst the Indians or other inhabitants, (but in the execution of his own religious function only) and find the other Priests that are permitted by the Goverment, and ten or twelve of the Deputies to be security for his future behaviour he should be forgiven for what is past, and permitted to remain as a Missionaire in the Province, otherwise that the Government would take other measures.

PRESENT

|
|
|
The same Members as on Tuesday the 11th last.
|
|
|
|
The Honble. Lieut. Governor of the Province acquainted the Board that by what discourse he had with the Deputies from Mines, he judged it would be necessary to send two gentlemen along with them, in order to tender and to administer to the inhabitants there, the Oaths — the said Deputies being also inclinable and promising to be as aiding and assisting in assembling of the inhabitants as possible, and in forwarding of that affair-that he had therefore drawn up instructions for Captain Joseph Bennett and Ensign Erasmus James Philipps to proceed accordingly for that purpose, and having laid the same before the Board for their perusal, he asked their advice on the same.
