M^r Speaker and you Gentⁿ Delegates.
Since the Present Session is Ended (wherein you have had
no delay from me or this Board) I recommend to you the Peace
of the Severall Countys you returne to, which I thinke at this
time Absolutely necessary to redress the many Rogueryes
which have been hatched & are carrying on to disturbe us.
When I am well Satisfied the Armes & Amuniton in this
Place are well Secured without the Present Guarde I'll dismiss
the Soldiers, being as Tender of puting the Country to un-
necessary Charges as any Gentⁿ that sitts in the Assembly.
By the Advice of her Majestys Councill I shall speedily
send a boat well manned to demand from the Goverment in
Carolina some Prisoners fled from the Justice of this Province.
I could well have wished You to have joyned with us hear-
tily in the Matter of Itinerant Justices so kindly recomended
by her Maj^tye But since You have not shall with the Advice of
her Majestys hon^ble Councill here Settle that Matter as I am
directed.

Gentlemen
This seems like to be the last Session of this Present As-
sembly as to the Continuance according to the Course of Parlia-
ments in England; Yet lest some Suddain Emergency should
happen have thought fitt to Prorogue You. And you are ac-
cordingly hereby Prorogued untill the 14^th day of June next
from which time You shall have due notice of Your meeting
or being further Prorogued; But in Case You Shall not
be Convened before the fifth of September next This present
Generall Assembly is now declared to be then dissolved.
