Sent to the Lo Ho by Henry Lowe Esq^r who returns and
says He delivered it
M^r Peter Taylor and M^r Tobias Pollard from the Lower
House with the Remonstrance against M^r Brannock Endorsed
as folio

Aprill 26^th 1718
May It Please your Honours

On reading and Considering the within Remonstrance We
are of Opinion that there Can be no Reason for Exhibiting
the same, for that the Justices of Dorchester County are not
yet acquited from facts last Assembly laid to their Charge by
the Inhabitants of that County for the same matters Com-
plained of by this Remonstrance as a Libelling of them which
was then referred to yo^r Honours' Consideration.
But we must observe that if the member of our House
Complained of hath Libelled the Justices of that County with-
out Reason they may have their Remedy against him. How-
ever we hope if the facts alledged against the Justices be
found True by your Honours, That the psons Exhibiting so
Scandalous a Remonstrance may be punished according to
their Deserts.
Signed p ord^r Mic. Jenifer Cl. Lo. Ho.

Thereupon the Consideration of the Pet^o of part of the
Inhabitants of Dorchester County against the Justices of that
