The following Message is sent to the Lower house with the Bill
for Dividing Prince Georges County; by Daniel Dulany Esq^re
By the Upper house of Assembly, 11 July 1747
Gentlemen We cannot agree to the amendment you Propose
because we are apprehensive that it would be Inconvenient to the
very People whom the Legislature Intends to favour and Indulge;
for should the Time be Limited as you Propose it may Possibly
happen that his Lordship may not Receive the Bills time Enough
to Consider it and Intimate his dessent to it in Cace he shall think
fit to dissent before some Progress in Carrying it into Execution
which would be attended with the Ill Consequences mentioned in
our former Message; Whereas if it be Left in the manner we have
Proposed; an oppertunity may Possibly happen for his Lordship
to Signifie his Pleasure in so short a Time; that the Court house
and Prison may be Built before December 1748, and the People
Receive the Advantage Designed them Long before that Time which
we hope You will Consider, and that you will agree to the amend-
ment as Proposed by this house
Signed p Order John Ross ClUp. H.
