that, you should transmit to me without delay, a List of all
Instruments made use of in publick Transactions, Law Pro-
ceedings, Grants, Conveyances, Securities of Land or Money,
within your Government with proper and sufficient Descrip-
tions of the same, in order that if Parliament should think
proper to pursue the Intention of the aforesaid Resolution,
they may thereby be enabled to carry it into Execution, in the
most effectual and least burthensome manner
If you should be unable of Yourself to prepare a List of
this kind, with sufficient Accuracy, You will in such Case
require the Assistance of the Principal Officer of the Law
within your Government who is the proper Person to be con-
sulted, towards procuring the said Information in the manner
required. I am with great Truth and Regard
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble Servant
Dunk Halifax
