[The listening experience informs a list of thirty-two complaints against the governor of New York Richard Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont. Leisler’s Rebellion (1689-1691), stirred by settlers’ resentment against English policies, left the colony polarized. Leaders of the rebellion Leisler and his son-in-law Milborne were executed on 16 May 1691] 

 

(1) Upon his first arrival [April 1698] he gave encouragement to the Leislerian party, thus reviving the animosities which several Acts of Assembly and a prudent Magistracy had almost extinguished. (2) Soon after his entry upon the Government, he called a General Assembly, whom he frequently sent for and treated with great scurrility. […]  (5) He next permitted, if not directed, the taking up at midnight with sound of trumpet and drums the bones of Leisler and Milbourn[e] who had lain buried near nine years, and to lie in state some weeks, and afterwards to be publicly buried in the Dutch Church against the consent of the officers thereof, attended by 100 men in arms and a mob of 1,500 men, chiefly Dutch, the scum of that and the neighbouring Provinces[.]
