Gent.
Upon Comparing the Engrost with the Orriginall Bill for
Reviving and Continuing the Act for Limitation of officers
ffees &c. We are Surpriz'd to see this Interlineation to wit,
person Except in the last Side made in the Orriginall Bill
after it had passed this House, which makes an intire alteracon
in one part thereof but as we are inclin'd to believe such
Interlineation hath hapned through mistake rather than

Engrost Bills that they may be rectified according to the
alteracon propos'd by our house and consented to by your
Message of this day.
