Gentl. Herewith is sent you the Right Honble the Lords
of Trade and Plantations Letter of the Eighth of Nov. 1710
with their Representation and her Majesty's Orders for disal-
lowing the several Acts of the Assembly made Nov. 1709 for
the Reasons in the said Representation Set forth. Upon
Receipt whereof we need not now to tell you that Proclama-
tions have issued for repealing the aforesaid Acts; but must
observe to you their Lordships' kind Intimation that if any of
the said Laws do seem of absolute Necessity for the good
Government and Welfare of the Province they may be reen-
acted as in their Ldps Lres pursuant to her Majesty's late
Instruction transmitted us is prescribed; and forasmuch as we
are thoroughly sensible several of these are absolutely
necessary for the good Government and Welfare of the Prov-
ince and especially those for regulating the Militia and
limiting Officers Fees we must recommend them to your Con-
sideration to be reenacted not doubting but the Advantages
thereby, as well as the Dangers and Inconveniencies for want
thereof are obvious to us all.
