May it please your Honors
This House having Considered your Message of the second
Instant by Col^o Holland is of Opinion that the bringing of a
Bill for the distribution of the Money in the Treasurers
hands into so many parts, as it should be is Impracticable
without Continuing the Sessions till next week, because there

L. H. J.

will be a Necessity in such a Bill of Appointing persons to
receive & Applye the Money and as to any danger, the Treas-
urer of the Western Shore may Apprehend of being robbed

will be an ease to the Treasurer in that particular, but if he
is unwilling to part with the Mony and uneasie to keep it, This
House thinks there is no Difficulty in finding a Person that
will undertake that Charge & give the necessary Security
