Was sent to the Upper House by Mr. Hollyday and Mr. Earle.
Col. Hooper, from the Committee of Grievances, delivers to Mr.
Speaker an Address to his Excellency; which was read, approved, and
ordered to be ingrossed.
Col. Hooper brings in, and delivers to Mr. Speaker, the following
ingrossed Address, viz.
To his Excellency Horatio Sharpe, Esq; Governor and Com-
mander in Chief in and over the Province of Maryland.
The humble Address of the House of Delegates of the said Prov-
ince.
May it please your Excellency,
By a Report, made by a Committee of this House, with a Copy of a
Letter and Depositions, hereunto annexed, it is apparent, that some
Check is necessary to be given to Papists within this Province; and
at this Time it seems more so, as the French are incroaching on all
his Majesty's Territories on this Continent, and spiriting up the
Indians to make Incursions and commit Hostilities on his Majesty's
Subjects.
We therefore hope, that your Excellency will be pleased to order,
that an exact Enquiry may be made into the Matter contained in the
Depositions of Serjeant Willis, John Hamwood, and William Swal-
low, that the Rioters who obstructed his Majesty's Levies, and used
such disloyal and traiterous Language, may be punished according
to Law.
Which was read and assented to, and signed, by Order of the
House, by the Honourable Speaker.
. Ordered, That Mr. Murdock and Mr. Smallwood, do acquaint his
Excellency, That this House hath prepared an Address to be pre-
sented to him, and desires to know when, and where, he will please
to receive it. They return and acquaint Mr. Speaker, the Governor
was pleased to signify, he was ready to receive the Address imme-
diately in the Conference Chamber.
Ordered, That Mr. Murdock and Five more, do present the Ad-
dress to the Governor.
