The Speaker and Members of the Lower house Enter this

ship Vizt
The Act concerning his Lordships Ordinance his Lordship
saith that there hath been already an Act made Strict enough
but hath not Deterred the Doing thereof & therefore doth not
think fit to pass this—
The Act providing against Sudden Accidents, his Lordship
Conceived he had Provided well enough in that Case already
and therefore Waved that Act—
The Act for Reviving the Temporary Laws his Lordship
upon perusall thereof doth find that an Act for killing Wolves
a Good and wholesome Law & therefore made a perpetuall
Law, is Contrary to reason now made Temporary by this Act
of Revivall; If they require time to Transcribe over the Laws
again rather than lose the rest of the Temporary Laws, his
Lordship will give them time
The Act of Gratitude, his Lordship renders thanks for but
not knowing whether the same may be any kindness to his
Son, his Lordship leaves it to him to accept of the kindness
(if any)
They are desired to go and Amend the Bill of Revivall &t
desiring not to lose the other Temporary Laws
They move for Amendment of the Act for Trade instead of
the place already in Brittons Bay for Another but for want of
time is denyed and not further pressed
They are desired to go and Amend the Bill of Revivall
