No. 5 A Supplementary Act to an Act, entituled, An Act for Granting a
Supply of Forty Thousand Pounds for his Majesty's Service,
and striking Thirty-four Thousand and Fifteen Pounds Six Shil-
lings thereof in Bills of Credit, and Raising a Fund for Sinking

or exchanged, are found by Experience to be ineffectual : For Remedy
whereof, it is prayed that it may be Enacted,

this Province, with whom any such Horse, Mare, Colt or Gelding,

directed to give to such Person or Persons, that shall Enter the same,
and pay the Duty aforesaid, a fair, distinct and separate Certificate,
