From 1741 A True and Historical Narrative edited by Amy In October 1739, the General released his Proclamation for Granting Letters of Marque and Reprisals. The Inhabitants were called together in the Court-House, where he gave a very elaborate Speech. Among other Things, he told them that he was designed against St. Augustine, and if he did not take it, he would leave his Bones before the Walls thereof. But he is now at Frederica, and as we have too much Reason to believe, this Castle is still in the Hands of the Spaniards. A little after this we had another Instance how much our Benefactors had our Interest and Welfare at Heart. It was announced that all unmarked Cattle belonged to the Trustees as Lords of the Manor. Orders were given that they should be marked accordingly. When People strenuously insisted to the Contrary, the plan was dropped for that Time.
