Mr Broomes Petition and your Endorsmt has been con-
sidered and since It is evident Mr Broom knew of that Incon-
veniency when he accepted of the sd Office of Sherriff and in
regard his predecessor has undergone such an Inconveniency
as he prays remedy against We think it improper to agree
to the bringing in a Bill of that kind in his favour being
unwilling to do any thing contrary to the Act in that Case
made & provided

of his Office in Febry next before he can make his third years

unless some of them happen to die at a more convenient time
about the latter End of May or beginning of June And with-
out which Accident the same Inconveniency will long attend

that as well as other Countys Wherefore we desire you will
reassume the consideration thereof
