A Proclamation

Whereas a Disagreement have arose and still Subsists between
the two Houses of Assembly to the Interruption and Hindrance of
Publick Business, By which means so Entire a Stop is put to the
necessary Communication of the two Houses, that the Upper House
by their Address have Desired my Interposition to prevent a further
needless Burthen and Expence to the Province, I have therefore
thought fit with the Advice of his Lordships Council of State to
Prorogue this present General Assembly and I do hereby Prorogue
the same to the second Tuesday in July next being the Eleventh
Day of the same Month and to the Intent that all Persons Concerned
may have Due Notice thereof I do strictly Charge and Require the
Sherriff of the City of Annapolis to make this my Proclamation pub-
lick in his said City in the usual Manner as he will Answer the Con-
trary at his Perril. Given at the City of Annapolis this twenty third
Day of May 1n the twenty fourth Year of his Lordships Dominion
