July 24. On Thursday last the Privy Council adjourned the Report of the Lords of Trade and Plantations upon the Conduct of an American Governor till Thursday next, at one o'Clock in the Forenoon. The Hearing was attended by a respectable and crowded Audience; among them many of the principal Gentry from all the American Provinces, and from the West India Islands, were present. The Counsel on the other Side will be heard on Thursday. An Appeal upon a Report of this Nature was never before argued, and it was termed a very coarse and strange Performance by the Counsel against it, and otherwise much abused. This being a Cause of much public Expectation, for more than eighteen Months past, the Lords are detained in Town a Week longer, and a Decision will be concluded upon before the usual Summer Recess.
