May it please your Excellency,
In Answer to your Excellency's Message of this Day, we beg
Leave to acquaint you, that as we have a Bill before us, almost ready
to be sent to the Upper House, well calculated to protect our Fron-
tiers, which, if passed into a Law, will render the Ranging Parties,
at present there, of no Use :
We, therefore, hope your Excellency will excuse our not granting
any more Money by Way of Ordinance, as a Method so much more
regular and effectual, is on the Point of Perfection.
Which was read and assented to, and signed, by Order of the
House, by the Honourable Speaker.
Ordered, That M.r Edmondson and Capt. Jenifer 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 M.r Speaker that his Excel-
lency was pleased to signify he would receive the Address in an
Hour's Time in the Conference Chamber.
Ordered, That M.r Dulany, with Three more, do present the
Address to the Governor.
The House adjourns until the Morrow Morning at 8 of the Clock.
