The Act for selling Naval Officers Fees within this Prov-
ince (remark viz^t) the fees setled by this Act seem very
unequal and disproportionable as to the different Burden of
the Ships and it is therefore rather proposed that the same
method be taken here as in Virginia that all Masters or others
therein Concerned may be at Certainty in both Governments
so near Adjacent

The Act ascertaining what Laws are repealed within this
Province (remark viz^t) for the better and Greater Certainty of
what Laws are in force and what not It is thought more

in General heretofore made in this Province except what upon
the Review of the Body of those Laws this present Sessions
have deemed fit and Convenient for the good Government of
this Province
