TRANSCRIBED AND EDITED IN ACCORDANCE WITH A RESOLUTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, BY CHARLES J. HOADLY, STATE LIBRARIAN. HARTFORD: PRESS OF THE CASE, LOCKWOOD & BRAINARD COMPANY 1885. PREFATORY NOTE. THIS book contains the concluding part of Volume X of the Manuscript Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut, from page 312, and the first 147 pages of Volume XI. The Council Journal before May, 1770, is not known to be extant, and after that date seems to have been rather carelessly kept. So much of it as falls within the period of this volume is here printed. It is not known that any of the Journals of either House of the General Assembly are in existence for the time covered by this publication. September 7th, 1885. C. J. H.
