Post-Meridiem.
The House met according to Adjournment, &c.
M.^r James John Mackall appeared in the House.
His Excellency communicated to M.^r Speaker the following Mes-
sage, viz.
Gentlemen of the Lower House of Assembly,
You will be pleased to observe, that the Time, which the Detach-
ments from the Militia of Prince-George's and Baltimore Counties
were ordered to remain on the Frontiers, is almost expired: I think
it would be highly proper to order some others to march and relieve
them, but shall not give such Orders without your Advice.
As it must be more agreeable to these Detachments to be Victualled
in the same Manner that the Troops at Fort-Frederick are, and as
the impressing Provisions from the Frontier Inhabitants, at this
Time, might greatly distress them, I hope you approve of the Direc-
tions I gave M.^r Ross, and that you will make Provision for his
being immediately paid.
September 29, 1756. Hor.^o Sharpe.

The House adjourns until the Morrow Morning at 9 of the Clock.
