Holding aloft in his hands, with its seals, the royal commission. "You are convened this day," he said, "by his Majesty's orders... Painful the task is I do, which to you I know must be grievous. Yet must I bow and obey, and deliver the will of our monarch; Namely, that all your lands, and dwellings, and cattle of all kinds, forfeited be to the crown; and that you yourselves from this province be transported to other lands. God grant you may dwell there. Ever as faithful subjects, a happy and peaceable people! " "Prisoners, now I declare you; for such is his Majesty's pleasure!" Silent a moment they stood in speechless wonder, and then arose louder and ever louder a wail of sorrow and anger.
