	Francis Bernard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Francis was born in Brightwell, Oxfordshire, England to the Rev. Francis and Margery Bernard and was christened on July 12, 1712.
		Bernard was appointed governor in late 1759, but delays in communications and travel were such that he didn't arrive in Boston until August 2, 1760.
		Finally, the turbulence increased to the point where the colonial assembly petitioned the crown that "he might be forever removed from the Government of the Province." In 1769 he was replaced by Thomas Hutchinson and recalled to England.

	Schlesinger, Colonial Appeals to the Privy Council. Pt. I
		To the crown this appellate control afforded a means of preventing important changes in colonial law without the consent of the mother country; and it also served the purpose of correcting judgments given in the colonial courts to the disadvantage of the crown.
		This instruction was probably meant for the island colonies and other possessions of England which were far wealthier than her American continental colonies, for the £300 rule is specified in a number of accessible commissions and instructions from 1690 down to 1730.
		Any attempt to summarize, for the entire colonial period, the development of the law regarding the minimum value necessary for appeal, as set forth in the regulations of the king in council, is unsatisfactory, because, as we have seen, the practice varied.

	Beer, British Colonial Policy, 1754-1765
		The ablest colonial governor of the time, William Shirley of Massachusetts, was, however, strongly in favor of a parliamentary union coupled with parliamentary taxation of the colonies.
		Though all these plans, whether of colonial union or of parliamentary taxation, were intended for a permanent military establishment in the colonies in time of peace, their ultimate object was to effect the security of the colonies in the event of war.
		The governor, Francis Bernard, wrote to Pitt on March 20, 1759, that New Jersey showed her zeal for the cause in voting 1000 men, as her population was only 70,000 to 80,000 and as she was spending yearly on the war £70,000, whereas Pennsylvania which was five times as populous, raised only £100,000.
