The Upper House. 31

By the Upper house of Assembly 3^d June 1748
Gentlemen

We have the same sense with you of the Expediency and Usefull-
ness of an Act for Processioning Lands in Order to Perpetuate the
bounds thereof, But we think the Bill which we now return with a
Negative would, if Passed into a Law, be very far from Answering
the Purposes intended, since very few would in all Probability de-
sire their Bounds to be Processioned, and by that means the Use
Designed in General for the whole Province would be frustrated,
there are some other Particulars which may be Proper to be altered
when the Subject of this Bill comes to be reconsidered
Signed p Order John Ross Cl Up Ho.
