Speaker the Bill to Confirm Lands devised to the use of the

Church thus endorst Viz :

By the Upper House of Assembly, 8^ber the 19^th 1722.

Wee conceive that part of the provisoe in the Bill com-
prised in these words Viz: (or about which there is at this
Time any contest or Law suit depending) ought not to be
inserted because a Case now Depending & not Determined
by Law has as good and equitable a Right to the benefit of this
Bill as any Case n,ot yet brought into Dispute with which
Alteracons this Bill will pass.
Signed p Order Sam^l Skippon Cl Up^r Ho.
