Mr. J. Goldsborough, from the Committee of Grievances, &c.
brings in, and delivers to Mr. Speaker, the following ingrossed
Address, viz.t
To his Excellency Horatio Sharpe, Esq; Governor and Commander
in Chief in and over the Province of Maryland.
The humble Address of the House of Delegates.
May it please your Excellency.
We, the Delegates of the Freemen of Maryland, humbly conceive,
that it is the peculiar Privilege of British Subjects to be under the
Controul and Government of Laws, calculated and framed, by the
Legislature, for the Conservation of their Rights and Liberties, and
that every Attempt that has the most remote Tendency to infringe
or violate them, justly called for an Enquiry and a due Representa-
tion. This being premised, we flatter ourselves, that we shall be suf-
ficiently justified, in the Liberty we take to lay before your Excel-
lency a Report from the Committee of Grievances, and Courts of
Justice, against John Rawlings, a Magistrate of Frederick County,
with the Papers thereto annexed, for your Examination, more espe-
cially, as it is evident, from Testimony given before us, and upon a
ful Enquiry into the whole Affair, that his Passions and Prejudices
have greatly influenced his Determinations; we therefore humbly
request, that your Excellency will take this Matter into your Con-
sideration, and, in order to prevent Evils of the like Kind for the
future, do therein as. to your Excellency shall seem right and just.
Which was read and assented to, and signed, by Order of the
House, by the Honourable Speaker.
