September 1685



Sept. 15–16.	2,113. Minutes of Council and Assembly of Antigua. The Governor proposed that the country should be put in a state of defence by erecting a fort; pointing out the delays and defects, recommending that the forts at St. John's and Falmouth be provided with guns and ammunition, and that the Acts which are sent home be continued in force until the King's pleasure be known. Address of the Assembly. We agree as to the mounting of guns in the forts. If any further fortification be necessary, we are willing to have one in the body (sic) for safety of the powder and of incapacitated persons. We believe the repair of St. John's and Falmouth to be sufficient for present needs. We concur as to the prolongation of the Acts. Message from the Governor and Council, pressing the necessity for providing for the safety of the country. Answer of the Assembly. We can do no more than we have proposed, and we require your assistance in drafting Acts. Message of the Governor and Council. It is for you to initiate Acts, and for us to agree to them. Answer of the Assembly. We desire the Governor to give what orders he thinks best for mounting of the guns. Message of the Governor and Council. We desire you to draw up the Act to reinforce the Acts sent home for confirmation. Answer of the Assembly. We have referred this business to a Committee. We desire a dissolution, according to custom.
