The humble Address of the House of Delegates.

This House think it their indispensible Duty to lay before you

Copies of the Depositions therein mentioned; and hope that your
Excellency will exert all your Power in Support of the Civil Govern-
ment of this Province, and of a due Execution of the Laws, accord-
ing to the Spirit and Intention thereof; without which we have but
too much Reason to fear the Liberty and Property of his Majesty's
Subjects in this Province will become very precarious and insecure.
