The course of Judge Dray ton had equally alarmed and offended the Royal Government, and it was doubtless arranged for his successor to preside in this part of the Province for the first time, so as to efface to some extent, if possible, the impression which had been made, and stem at the outset the tide of independence. Some evidences of such an attempt, though worse than fruitless, will be found in the conduct of the King's Judges on this occasion. The action of the Grand Jury, so far as it wa...s published by order of the Court, was as follows, viz. : " The Presentments of the Grand Jurors for the District of Cheraws, &c. , at Long Bluff, Saturday, the 15th day of April, 1775. " I. We present, as a grievance, the want of a new Jury list in this district. " II. We present, as a grievance, the want of a Law for cleansing Pedee River, and to prevent trees being felled therein, its navigation at present being extremely dan- gerous. " III. We present, as a grievance, the want of a Bridge over Thompson's Creek, on the road from the Cheraw Hill to the Court House ; and another over Black Creek, at or near the present ferry.
