The Honourable Edward Henry Calvert attended by five of the
Members of this house carries to the Lower house the following
Message
By the Upper house of Assembly 8th August 1729
Gentlemen
In answer to your Message of 5th Instant by Mr Smith & Eleven
more We declare that We shall always be ready to joyn with you in
a proper Application to Our Proprietor to redress any Aggrievance
his Majestys Subjects within this Province may labour under, but
as you now question a Power that the Proprietarys of this Province
have exercised from the beginning of their Government, & We be-
lieve with good Reason, We therefore do not think fit to joyn with
you as proposed by your Message.
Signed p Order John Ross Cl. Up Ho.
Read the Petition of Edward Newton John Anderton and others,
and ordered to be thus Endorsed
By the Upper house of Assembly 8th August 1729
Having considered the within Petition We have made Enquiry
after the Return formerly made of the Survey of the Choptank In-
dians Lands by the Commissioners appointed for that purpose, but
that Return not being upon Record or elsewhere to be found, We
have therefore procured from the Surveyor who was employed upon
that Occasion, a Copy of the Return of the sd Commissioners with
a Platt of the Indians Lands annexed thereto & approved by this
house with which if your House concurs, We desire the same may be
entred upon Record in the Land Office, for the Benefit of all such
Persons as shall hereafter have Occasion to have Recourse there-
unto
Signed p Order John Ross Cl Up Ho.
Sent to the Lower house with the Platt by Coll Ward
