twelveth of May last to refer to the Boarde the consideration

shipps, such order might be taken, as to his Majesty's wisdom

June last, that the Business should be heard the seconde Friday

all parties interested should then attend, which was accordingly
performed, and their Lordshipps having heard the Cause, did
then order that the Lord Baltimore being one of the parties,
and the Adventurers and Planters of Virginia aforesaid should

likewise sett downe in wryting the propositions made by either
partie, with their severall answers and reasons, to be presented
