May it please Your Honours
On considering your Indorsement on the within Bill as to
the first Amendment we Concurr therewith; But as to the
second Amendm^t therein proposed, we are of Opinion it will
be more proper that the Sheriffs of each County at every
County Court that shall sit be Obliged to publish and Read
the said Law, than to oblige the several Overseers, Constables
and &^ca to Read it as proposed and therefore we desire the
Bill may pass with these Amendments
