The humble Address of the House of Delegates.
May it please your Excellency,
It appearing to this House, by Report of their Committee for
inspecting the Condition of the Arms and Ammunition of this Prov-
ince, (an Extract from which is hereto annexed) that Henry Walls,
the Armourer, has been very Remiss in the Duty of his Trust, which,
in this Time of uncommon Danger, we conceive, ought to be most
strictly complied with.
It becomes our indispensable Duty to those we Represent, humbly
to request your Excellency would be pleased to remove the said
Henry from his said Place of Armourer, and put that Trust, at this
Time of no small Importance, in the Hands of such other Person,
as to your Excellency's Wisdom shall seem meet.
