Speaker the following Report.

his Majesty's Service, in Order to march to the Ohio, to repel the
Invasion of the French and Indians in Alliance with them, and of-

the Deposition of Serjeant Willis, John Hamwood, and John Swal-
low, as also a Copy of a Letter from Col. Fry, to the Rev. Mr. Henry
Addison, hereunto annexed, both well attested.
Your Committee therefore humbly conceive, that such Conduct
and Behaviour of the Papists, at this critical Juncture, join'd with
their known Disaffection to his Majesty's Government, heretofore
often manifested, requires the Consideration of your Honourable
House, that some effectual Means may be used to secure this Part
of his Majesty's Dominion, against our domestic as well as foreign
Enemies: But is humbly submitted to the Consideration of your
Honourable House.
Signed per Order, William Wilkins, Clerk.
