A Message from the Lower House by Coll^o Belt and Cap-
tain Crabb viz.

By the Lower House of Assembly October the 27^th 1725
May it please Yo^r Honours
There being now in the publick Goal two Servants Comitted
for want of Security, who have lain there a Considerable time
at the Common Expence of Imprisonm^t which will either be a
dead Charge to the Sheriffe or the publick, and forasmuch as
we have no houses of Correction work houses or other pub-
lick houses to Oblige them to Earn their fees in, we know of no
other method than what is proposed by the Bill herewith sent
to you to prevent such Unavoidable Charge to the Sheriffe
or the publick and Inconveniencies to the prisoners themselves
Wherefore we pray your Honours that the Bill may pass or
that you will be pleased to Communicate your objections to
us why the same will not pass.
Signed p Order M. Jenifer Cl. Lo. Ho.
