Committee of Laws to be Engrost
Coll Ward from the Upper House Delivers Mr Speaker
the Bill for Relief of Richard Thatcher thus Endorst Viz :

By the Upper house of Assembly

August the 3d 1721
Gentlemen.

We have heard both Parties for and against the within
Bill and heard and Considered Sundry Matters of Evidence
in Relation thereto; & have Great Reason to believe that the
Act Entituled An Act Empowering Robert Roberts of Queen
Ann's County to Sell part of a Tract of Land lying in Cecill
County called New Munster late the Land of Daniel Toaes
for the uses therein Mentioned, and to make Good and Valid
such Sale formerly obtained by Robert Roberts for the Sale
of Daniel Toaes's Land Called New Munster was Obtained
by ill Practice and Upon false Suggestions; But we are like-
wise of Opinion, that a great Regard ought to be had to the
Purchasers for Valuable Considerations, without Notice of
the Present Dispute under the same Act: for that the Publick
Faith and Justice of the Country are Deeply Concerned

L. H. J.

therein and therefore we referr the Passing the within Bill
untill the next Sessions; by which Time we purpose to En-
quire whether there be Sufficient of the sd Land to Satisfie the
Demands of Thatcher and Massey that remain unsold by Vir-
tue of the said first private Act; and Also to Enquire into the
Conduct of the persons Concerned in Carrying on and Ob-
taining the said first mentioned Bill And in Order thereto
we have Resolved, that Orders from this House do Issue for
such persons as the Parties shall require, And Thatcher Con-
tinue in Possession till the next Sessions. According to the
former Order, And that the Several Depositions and Evi-
dences offerred concerning the same be Entered and Journald
in the Proceedings of this House at the End of the Journal.
Signed p Order. John Beale Cl. Upp. Ho
