Testimony against Jonathan Stickney, Jun.

v5:951

Rowley, April 8, 1776.

We, the subscribers, declare, that on the evening of the 26th of February last, we heard Mr˙ Jonathan Stickney, Jun˙, talk as follows: 1st. That they (meaning the Canadians) ought to esteem it an act of grace in his Majesty in establishing Popery in Canada; and that he was glad his Majesty was of so gracious a turn of mind; further, that his Majesty had a just right to sign any act of Parliament whatever, though ever so contradictory of his Majesty' s Coronation oath.

Attest: WILLIAM STICKNEY,
PARKER CLEVELAND.
