The state of this controversy is roughly as follows,
according to my view of it.
This was not what he or the Colony wanted (i.e. they wanted to
magnify the difficulty so as to force the removal of
Mr
Needham) & so they went on making more difficulties—and passed
an Ordinance to remove them by providing not for two but for one
C. Justice. This of course was not meeting the difficulty at
all; & so they were told. And a draft Ordinance was sent out
wh was capable of disposing
the peculiar difficulty
wh was raised,
wh, I think, they
were invited to modify in detail as to meet any other
difficulties
wh the state of things in
B.C. m
t involve.
They were told afterwards when the Govr stated
that objections & difficulties had been raised by the Judges &
AG that a draft law framed in England wd
necessarily require alteration in detail. 6295 BC/68.
It was pointed out to them (truly) that this m
t easily be done;
but like naughty children they now adopt wholesale
the draft
sent out to them for modification and make a grievance of the
defects of detail,
wh if real, they ought to have removed.
