As the best means to insure lasting peace with the Indians, Governor Craven, in February, 1716, exhorted the assembly to consider 'in the most disinterested manner . . . in what method the trade with the Indians ought now to be carried on and regulated, fatal experience having taught us, that the measures hitherto taken are neither safe nor beneficial to the public.'17 [Note 17 JCHA, February 29, 1715/16.] The result was the act of June 30, 1716,18 altering the whole system of Indian trade regulation. [Note 18 Statutes, II. Articles I and ii, not extant, may be inferred from the JIC.]
