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,
In our Address of the 23d of February last, we desired to know
by Virtue of what Law the two Companies of Militia, mentioned
in that Address, were compelled to march; and your Excellency has
not been pleased to give us a direct Answer on that Point; we now
think it our indispensible Duty again to request the Favour, to be
informed explicitly by what Law or Authority those Militia were
ordered out, and compelled to march.
As we do not know of any Law, by which the Militia lately ordered
out, could have been punished had they refused to have marched, if
there be any such we are greatly desirous it may be pointed out to the
public View.
