ph Withington, Jason Winship, John Wellington, Jonas Wyeth. One of the papers in the Massachusetts Archives commemorates the good service of a Cambridge officer and its recognition by the General Court: Province of the Massachusetts Bay. To his Excellency Francis Bernard, Esq., Captain General, Governor, and Commander-in-Chief, in and over his Majesty's Province aforesaid, the Honble his Majesty's Council, and the Honble House of Representatives in General Court assembled at Boston, December, 1763,— Humbly sheweth William Angier of Cambridge, that on the second day of November, A.

That Fox was with Bute repeatedly before superseding Grenville in the lead of the House of Commons, appears from Albemarle, i. 127, 129 and 132. Bedford Correspondence, III. 124 and 133. That Fox did not regard this concealment as an offence appears from his own testimony; for he himself, in December, 1763, said to Grenville, that he believed Lord Bute to be a perfect honest man; that he respected him as such; and that in the intercourse between them Lord Bute had never broken his word with him. See G. Grenville's Diary for Wednesday, 25 Dec. 1764. Even Walpole admits that Lord Holland's own friend, as well as the Bedfords, refused to find Shelburne blamable. Walpole's Geo. III. i. 262, 263. In the very paragraph in which Walpole brings these unsubstantiated charges against Shelburne,

f Huske's speech, see extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his friend in New-York, in Weyman's New-York Gazette of 5 April, 1764. Gordon, in History of American Revolution, i. 157, quotes the letter as from Stephen Savre to Capt. Isaac Sears, of New-York. See, also, Joseph Reed to Charles Pettit, London, 11 June, 1764, in Reed's Life and Correspondence of Reed, i. 33.
