of North Carolina. 29 



Causes relating to Life and Death are heard, where the Chief 

 Justice sits as Judge, and determines all Causes within the 

 Jurisdiction of this Court. In the Precinct-Court, the Jus- 

 tices of the Peace sit on the Bench, and decide all Contro- 

 versies brought before them. This Court upon any Griev- 

 ance can Appeal to the General Court for Justice, and 

 the General to Chancery. The Governor by the Power in- 

 vested in him, Commissions all Justices of the Peace, and 

 all Officers in the Militia, who upon any Occasion may call 

 his Council, to advise with them, upon any Emergency that 

 is necessary, or expedient, for the good and safety of the 

 Country. 



There are abundance of Attorneys in this Province, who 

 are Licenced by the Governor, yet all Law-Suits are quickly 

 decided in Carolina, to prevent the Planters ruining each 

 other, as is too frequent to be met with amongst us. 



These, and many other good Laws, that are to be met with 

 in this Province, make it one of the best and mildest Govern- 

 ments to live under in all America. Whoever consider the 

 Latitude and convenient Situation of Carolina, may easily 

 inform themselves, that it is a most delightful and fertil 

 Country, being placed in the same Latitude or part of the 

 World which produces Wine, Oil, Fruit, Grain and Silk, 

 with many other rich Commodities, besides a sweet moderate 

 and healthful Climate to live in with all manner of Plenty, 

 which are as great blessings as can attend any People upon 

 Earth, which the Planters of Carolina at this Day enjoy, 

 being subject to no vexatious Taxes, or Packing Landlords, 

 to give them the least uneasiness or discontent.
