ary of state for the colonies, censured the House for their unwarrantable and inconsistent arrogance, and directed the governor to put his negative upon any person whom they should next elect for speaker. and to dissolve the Assembly in case they should question the right of such negative. So the affections of the colonies. one after another, were alienated from the mother country by her unwise rulers.
