By His Excellency Horatio Sharpe Esq^r Governor and
Commander in Chief in and over the Province of Maryland.

A Proclamation.

Whereas the present General Assembly of this Province
stands prorogued to Monday the thirteenth day of May next,
And Whereas it is apprehended that it would be very incon-
venient for many of the Members to Attend at Annapolis at
that time, I have thought fit with the Advice of His Lordship's
Council of State further to prorogue the same, And I do
hereby further prorogue the same to Monday the tenth day of
June next: 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 Annap-
olis this 20^th day of April in the Fifteenth year of his Lord-
ship's Dominion Annoq Domini 1765.
