It being Represented to this house that the Deputy Com-

Offices, have been taken in the name of the Commisary Gen-
erall himself and not in the name of his Majesty or his Lord-

into the Commisarys Office or to Suffer them to be put in suit
without giveing her Security for her Indemnification thereon,
wherefore tis recommended that there be an Act or Clause of
an Act Declaring all Bonds formerly taken in the name of the
Commissary Generall may be Lawfully sued in his Lordships
