218, from Mass. Hist. Coll., Vol. 7, p. 162.] In accordance with these instructions, on the 22d of De- cember, 1686, Sir Edmond writes the Governor, Walter Clarke, as follows : " Boston, Dec. 22, 1686. " Sir : This is to acquaint you that I arrived yester- " day, at which time his Majesty's Commission, bearing " date at Windsor, the third day of June last, in the sec- " ond year of his reign, appointed me Captain General and " Governor in Chief of his territory and dominion of New " England, an...d his Majesty having, upon the address and " submission of the Charter, accepted thereof, hath com- " manded and authorized me, upon my arrival in these " parts, to demand, in his Majesty's name, the actual sur- " render of the said Charter, and to take the Colony of " Rhode Island and Providence Plantations into my care, "as part of the Government", &c. Under these circumstances we must infer that the Char- ter was delivered to the Royal Governor, and yet, on the 27th February, 1690, the General Assembly appointed a Committee to demand of Walter Clarke, the late Gover- nor, the Charter, &c, which he declined to give up, unless they forced the chest in which they were kept, which they accordingly did.
