Correspondence of Governor Sharpe. 535

which had been paid to M^r Dulany & Myself since M^r Jordans
Departure on Account of Mannour & Reserved Land that
had been sold, & I then intimated to His Ldp that I expected
to make another Remittance on the same Account by some
early opportunity. As I perceive by the Publick Papers that
His Ldp is gone abroad & may not be expected to return for
some time, & do not know who is authorized to negotiate any
Bills that may be remitted hence to London for Him during
his Absence I take the liberty to send you inclosed the Firsts
of thirteen Setts amounting to £886 o 10 which sundry Pur-
chasers of Manour Land have paid since I made the last
Remittance, of which you will be pleased on your Receipt
thereof to advise His Ldp & I beg the favour of you to
acknowledge also your Receipt of them by a Line to Sir.
Y^rs &c.

My Lord
Having this Day received your Ldp's Letter of the 13^th of
August advising Me of a Complaint having been made to
His Majesty in Council by the Contractor for the Transporta-
tion of Convicts against a Law lately pass't in this Province
for obliging infected Ships & other Vessels to perform Quar-
antine & requiring Me forthwith to transmit to your Lordship
to be laid before His Majesty an Authenticated Transcript of
the said Law. I shall in Obedience to your Ldp's Requisition
herewith send under the Great Seal of the Province a Copy
of said Act which was made in Dec^r 1766 altho your Ldp has
already a Copy of it in the Collection I had the honour to
transmit to you the 25^th of July last. The Acts of Assembly
which would be presented with my Letter of that Date are all
that are in force within this Government except those which
were made at a Session held in May last. As soon as they
could be printed I transmitted to the Lord Proprietary Copies
of them under the Great Seal of the Province for His Ldps
Consideration & Assent or Dissent & will by the next Ship
that may sail hence transmit another authenticated Copy in
Obedience to your Lordships Order. I am &c.
