Abstract:

During his Royal Governorship of North Carolina, which began in 1730, George Burrington ignored the instructions of London and gained many enemies in the process. His appointment, owed to his association with the Duke of Newcastle, was even more surprising based on his 1725 attempt to blow up the house of Proprietary Chief Justice Christopher Gale.
