A Proclamation

Whereas several well meaning People of this Province have
been misled into a belief that his Lordship had not Given his
Approbation to the Act Entituled An Act for amending the
Staple of Tobacco, for Preventing frauds in his Majestys
Customs and for the Limitation of Officers fees, which Appro-
bation I received during the Sitting of the last Session of
Assembly, and Signifyed the same to the late Lower House
by a Message to the Speaker of the said House; but as by
some Accident the same is not Inserted among the Printed
Proceedings of the said Assembly; I have therefore thought
fit with the Advice of his Lordships Council of State to Pub-
lish and declare his Lordships Approbation of the said Law,
And to the Intent that all Persons Concerned may have due
Notice thereof I do Strictly Charge and Require the Several
Sheriffs of this Province to make this my Proclamation Publick
in their Respective Counties in the Usual manner as they
will Answer the Contrary at their Peril Given at the City of
Annapolis this 30^th day of January in the 34^th year of his Lord-
ships Dominion Annoq Domini 1748.
