The Upper House. 489

By the Upper house of Assembly 9 July 1747
Gentlemen We are very Sensible of the Necessity of Dividing
Prince Georges County that Frederick Town is the most Conveni-
ent and agreeable Place to the Back Inhabitants to fix the Court
house in, we are also Sensible that if his Lordship should Dessent
to the Act after some Progress made towards Carring it into Exe-
cution It would be very prejudicial and should any Actions be Com-
menced; they would be Discontinued, which would be very hurtfull
to the People and Create much Confusion and if any Particular
Time was to be fixed tho a Long One, the People could not be at any
Certainty even at the Expiration of such Time, as ships are Lyable
to be taken in War Time Either coming from or going to England,
and since it may Possibly happen, that his Lordship may Signify
his Approbation of the Act soon which would put the Execution of
the Act beyond all Doubt & uncertainty therefore we hope you will
agree to the amendments Proposed
