COLONIES.
admit that he had any right to make them pay for the land they had settled. He might do what he chose with the land outside of the four towns of Strawberry Bank, Dover, Exeter and Hampton. The townspeople would have resisted his claim, if he had presented it with the utmost tact and thought- fulness, for the hardships they had endured in mak ing their settlements. But he pushed his demands harshly, cruelly ; and the people refused them so roughly that he was glad to escape to England....
Again and again these claims were pressed. The settlers always resisted. Mason induced the King to send over for Governor a hard, selfish, man, Edward Cranfield, who would wring rents out of the people if any one could do so. Mason came with him, and they induced the Deputy- Governor, Walter Barefoot, and a pack of other officers to try to force the settlers to pay Mason or lose their property. But there was a general revolt, and the people sent an appeal to England.
The constables who tried to collect the fines and rents were met by the townsmen with cudgels.
