Then the House took into Consideration the Bill for quiet-
ing the Possessions of Indians and finding the Alterations :
to be made therein were such as could not without Confusion
be interlined in the Bill, Resolved that the Bill with the
Amendments be written over fair; and a message prepared
to be sent therewith w^ch Message follows viz.

By the Upper House of Assembly October the 16^th 1723.
Gentlemen.
Upon Reading and Considering the Bill herewith sent, the
Alterations proposed to be made by us therein, we found were
such as could not without Confusion be interlined in the Bill ;
wherefore we Judg'd it wo^d be more convenient to write the
whole Bill over with the Amendments, then to propose them
to be interlined; with which if your House concurs the same
will pass.
