In the event of 1747- the desertion of the Jerseymen, the house suggested that the post might be regarrisoned by a detachment from the new levies destined against Canada. Or, if these levies were not still within his excellency's command, they prayed that a portion of the independent fusi...leers might be sent thither, the assembly pledging the necessary supplies for that service.
