appointed, in 1771, Major-general of the Militia throughout the Province; and from this time the Government had not a more devoted servant. On the other hand. his subserviency to British power did not secure all which he desired. He was doubtless gratified with the commission of Major-general; but, after nearly twenty years service as a member of the Council, he must have been mortified and chagrined, when he learned that he was not named as a Mandamus Councillor, but was superseded by Judge Lee, and still worse, by Col. Oliver, his subordinate officer, both as Councillor and Lieutenant-governor. His fate furnishes a sad example of the folly of attempting to serve two masters. He took shelter in Boston when the people became roused to action; he had gone too far ever to reinstate himself in their good opinion, and his only alternative was to put his trust under the shadow of British power. In Dec. 1774, ostensibly for the consideration of £ 1,500 sterling, he conveyed to his so
