Col. Tasker, from the Upper House, delivers to Mr. Speaker the
Bill entituled, An Act for securing the Western Frontier, &c. and the
following Message, viz.t
By the Upper House of Assembly, July 5, 1755.
Gentlemen,
In Answer to your Message, with the Return of the Bill, for
securing the Western Frontiers, we must observe to you, that such
Return, after a Negative passed by this House, is irregular; we
should have been very ready to have explained ourselves, as to the
particular Objections we thought the Bill justly liable to, if you had
desired us so to do, in the usual Method of Proceedings between the
Two Houses: And we assure you, that we are so sensible of the
Dangers to which our Fellow Subjects on the Western Frontiers
are exposed, that we shall be glad to agree with you, on a Bill for
their Security, and hope you will find a proper Expedient for that
Purpose.
Signed per Order, J. Ross, Cl. Up. Ho.
