By the uper house of Assembly, October the 24^th 1727
Gentlemen
Upon perusual of the Bill for destroying Squirrells we are of
opinion it will not answer the Design thereof in regard we Con-
ceive Sundry Persons will rather submitt to the fine then destroy
them to be exempted there from. We therefore offer to your Con-
sideracon that an Encouragement of two pounds of Tobacco p head
be allowed by the severall Countys for all Squirrells and Crows
that shall be killed by any Inhabitants thereof after the 25^th day of
March next.
Sign'd p order Geo. Plater Cl. Up. Ho.
