The Lower House. 321

Parties, I am persuaded that no People on the Continent have suffered
so little from them as his Majesty's good Subjects, the Inhabitants
of this Province.
What was the Opinion of your Committee upon the several Facts
that are mentioned in the Depositions and Affirmations, whereof you
sent me Copies, or whether we shall agree thereupon, I know not, as
their Report was not delivered, notwithstanding it is said in your
Address that it was thereunto annexed.
