Indorsed —

By the Council in Assembly
Nov. 8^th 1712.

It is conceived that the above Indorsment is no Ways Par-
liamentary this not being the next Session of that Assembly
to which the Bill was referred but another Assembly, the Dif-
ference between an Adjournment and Prorogation is so well
known that it needs no more than instancing that this is much
more Viz. a New Assembly and in this Case should this Bill
be indorsed in like Manner by this Board and past into a Law
it would be debated, ordained and Enacted by two different
Assemblies which must certainly be very irregular
Signed p Order W Bladen Cl. Council.

Upon reading and debating this Bill and aforesaid Indors-
ment and hearing the Petitioners Council on the same, Re-
solved Nemine Contradicente That the Indorsment of this
House on the Bill is not irregular but Parliamentary and that
they will proceed to the passing the said Bill, And ordered a
Message be prepared to send to the Honble Council to Mor-
row Morning
Ingrossed Bill making good and valid in Law a Deed of
Bargain and Sale made by Col^o Beall to Michael Ashford.
