Liber No. 48
May 7

Your Petitioner begs Leave to observe to your Honours, that since
the Time aforesaid of the said Vessel's being stopped, that a large
Sloop arrived in the aforesaid Harbour, took in her Load, and has
departed from hence for some of his Majesty's Islands (as I suppose
from Information); and farther, that after the Departure of the
said Sloop, a Sloop belonging to this Town has had large Repairs
made, has loaded, and also sailed from this Port with Provisions ;
yet your Petitioner's Vessel is still detained, and on what Account
I know not, any more than the others that have sailed.
Therefore your Petitioner prays your Honours to take this his
Case into your Consideration, as is likely many other of his Majesty's
Subjects, and do that which in your Wisdom shall seem meet: And
your Petitioner, as in Duty bound, shall pray.
Joseph Ensor.

Col. Robert Jenckins Henry, from the Upper House, delivers to
Mr. Speaker, the Journal of Accounts, and the following Message,
viz.t
By the Upper House of Assembly, 6th May, 1757.
Gentlemen,
Upon Perusal of the Journal of Accounts, we don't find any
Allowance is made to Mr. John Ross for his yearly Salary as Clerk
of the Council, nor for 3 Days Attendance to him as Clerk of the
Upper House of Assembly, when it was expected the Assembly
would meet in March last, which Allowance is made to your Clerk ;
neither is the Allowance made to Mr. Buchanan, for the Use of a
Room for the Upper House of Assembly, sufficient: We therefore
propose that the Sum of Six Pounds be made to Mr. Buchanan, and
