The Lower House. 225

Appeareth to this House, that the Petitioners for the Bill have
great Equity on their Parts for the Passing the same: but that
they are no ways Relievable by the Ordinary Courts of Ju-
dicature; the Prayer thereof being against a Paragraph of
the Act of Parliament for preventing Fraud and Perjuries.
Wherefore for that the Petitioners for the Bill are not other-
wise Relievable, we think it highly Reasonable the Bill do
Pass.

Gentlemen.
Upon Reading and Considering the within Petition we think
it Reasonable to Referr the Petitioner to the Gunner for his
Journey to him who ought to attend his Station or provide a
person to give him Notice when Occasion requires: but as
to his Attending as a Guard it being by Order of the Provin-
cial Court for the better bringing an Arch Criminal to Justice,
as appears by a Record of that Court, We Recommend it as
Reasonable to be paid by the Publick.
