84 The New Arrangements

84. The New Arrangements

 For a year or two William was very busy in Ireland and on the continent . At length he had time to attend to colonial affairs . He appointed royal governors for both Pennsyl - vania and Maryland . William Penn soon had his colony given back to him ; but the Baltimores had to wait many years before they re - covered Maryland . In New York there was a dreadful tragedy . For the new governor , Slaughter , was persuaded to order the execution of the leaders in the rising against Andros . Massachusetts did not get her old charter back , but she got another charter . This provided that the king should appoint the governor , but the people should elect a House of Representatives . The most important result of this new arrangement was a series of disputes between the king ＇ s governor and the people ＇ s representatives . Maine and New Plymouth were included in Massa - chusetts under the new charter . But New Hampshire remained a royal province .
