by the Clerk without Fee or Reward) , that the Public Laws of that
Session were printed, stitched, and delivered to the Clerk of the
respective Counties, by the First Day of March last, and unless the
Votes and Proceedings of the said Session, were stitched and deliv-
ered in Manner aforesaid, by the First Day of April last: And
whereas, it is represented, by the said Jonas Green, that although he
hath complied with the Printing, Stitching, and Delivering, the said
Laws, by the First Day of March, yet the Time was so far elapsed,
after his complying therewith, that it rendered the Compleating the
Votes and Proceedings of that Session impracticable by the said
First Day of April last, by Means whereof he conceives that the
Sheriffs may not think themselves at Liberty to pay the several Sums
of Money, which have been levied in their respective Counties for
that Purpose, by Virtue of the said recited Act, and whereas the said
Jonas Green hath now got the said Votes and Proceedings finished,
and ready to be delivered: He therefore prays that it may be enacted,
And be it Enacted, by the Right Honourable the Lord Proprietary,
by and with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's Governor, and
the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the Authority of the
same, That is shall and may be lawful for the Sheriffs of the several

Green the several Sums of Money which have been levied for print-

from the respective Clerks, that the Three Books of the Votes and
.Proceedings of the said Session, which are directed by the said

Act to the contrary notwithstanding.
