On reading the said Report, the House concurs therewith.
His Excellency the Governor communicates to Mr. Speaker the
following Message, viz.
Gentlemen of the Lower House of Assembly,
It having been intimated to me, by the Gentlemen of the Upper
House, that they have returned you a Bill which you lately sent
up to them, entituled, An Act for securing the Western Frontiers
of this Province, against the Depredations of the French and their
Indian Allies, and also for paying and maintaining Couriers, by
Reason they judged the Allowance of Money, and Time therein
mentioned, would not sufficiently answer the Purposes fur which
they conceived it was designed; I must intreat you to lose no Time,
but as you regard the Lives of your Fellow-Subjects and Con-
stituents, who remain exposed to the repeated Cruelties and Devasta-
tions of barbarous Savages, for Want of our taking some Measures
for their Protection, that you will, without Delay, reconsider that
Bill; and, if you think proper, amend it, in such a Manner, that it
may better answer the End for which it was calculated and intended.
Hor.o Sharpe.
