Members of the Upper House
Ordered that the Bill (brought up yesterday from the
Lower House by Mr John Read and Mr Pritchet) be read;
and the Bill was read and thus endorsed (viz.)
By the Upper House of Assembly Ocf the 27* 1722
Upon Reading the within Bill We think it reasonable that
Anne the Wife of Thomas Dent, in whom the Estate is, be
joyned with said Dent in the Sale of it.
And for that we are fully inform'd that the said Anne has
a Right to a Part of the Tract only by her Father's Donation;
we are of opinion that the Law should relate to that Part of
the Tract only wch belonged to her by virtue of her Father's
Deed of Gift.
But as to that Clause of the Act relating to the mortgage,
since we are not satisfied concerning the Validity thereof; and
know not but that it may be made by Collusion and with
Design to defeat his Creditors of their just Debts We cannot
till we are Satisfied therein, consent that the Bill should pass
Signed p Ordr Saml Skippon Cl Up Ho.
