County Court offices, and for that wee find that many of the
Record books in the land Commissary and Secretarys offices
are so very much worn, that a Speedy care must be taken to
have them mended at the publick charge, and are likely to be
a continual charge to the publick, by the neglegences of the
Clerks being Secure that they are not obliged to make them
good the better to prevent such charge and to secure the
Estates of the Inhabitants for the future wee think it necessary
and Just that as the officers who hold all or any of the Said
offices are intituled to the fees so they ought to bear the Bur-
then, and charge of keeping such record books in due repair,
and should before their Entrance on the execution of such
office hereafter be obliged to give good Securely in this Prov-
ince for the due Execution of their respective offices & keeping
the Records in the like order they receive them, and that the
officers now in place be obliged by the day of next to
give such securely or be disabled to hold their several offices,
and that a bill may be brought in accordingly with which your
Exncy and Honrs concurrence is prayed
