11.25 x 8.25 inches, City of New York, Commissioner for recording, Office of the Attorney General, February 14, 1717 -- a legal writ whereby Jamison presents charges against a colonist, in part: "David Jamison for our Lord the King George, by the grace of God of Great Britain, Wales and Scotland - and before John Johnston Esq., Mayor of the City of New York, on the 27th of Jan, in the fourth year of his reign.were informed that Jacob Bonnott.having insulted the King, faces damages sought in the amount of 24 shillings."

To the amazement of many, Makemie was acquitted, and soon after, religious tolerance was enacted into the State Charter (1707).
