Bill sent you One of the persons committed is a Servant
whose Master dare not be Security for him nor dare Suffer
him at large without Security he having declared his resolu-

The only remedy in this Case and all such we Conceive to be
to sell them out of the province or to such as will be security
for them If your Honours can propose any better remedy
we shall gladly fall in with it; if not we pray the Bill may pass
as it is in favour of the Masters property the Servants liberty
and the Security of the publick peace.
