Post-Meridiem. The House met according to Adjournment, &c.
His Excellency the Governor communicated to Mr. Speaker, the
following Message, viz.
Gentlemen of the Lower House of Assembly,
By a Letter that one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State,
was pleased to send me the 13th of March, 1756, and which was laid
before the late Lower House of Assembly, it was signified to be his
Majesty's Pleasure, that the Funds which might be raised in this
Province for the Public Service, should be issued and applied to the
General Service, in such Manner as the Commander in Chief should
direct; perhaps the Earl of Loudoun alludes to this Letter by the
Word Instructions used in that which is now under your Considera-
tion; or, perhaps he alludes to the Instructions that were sent by the
Ministry to the Governors of the Northern Colonies, upon their
attempting to restrain the Service of some of the Troops, which
were raise.d in those Colonies: I can only say farther, in Answer to
your Address, that I have never used the Word Instructions in any
Letter that I have writ to the Earl of Loudoun, neither has any
Thing passed between his Lordship and me, that enables me to explain
that Expression better than you may yourselves do.
Hor.o Sharpe.
