That the said last mentioned Act expired the 2d of April, 1761;

since which there has not been any Session, and there hath been no
Salary or Allowance to the said Jonas Green for the Year 1761. That
the said Jonas Green hath at several Times Printed long Bills,
Records and Papers, inserted in the Journals and Proceedings of
the Lower House of Assembly, too numerous to particularize, for
which he has not received, as your Committee can find, any Reward,
more than his yearly Allowance, tho' the Votes and Proceedings
have been swelled to a great Size, by the Insertion of such Bills and
other Matters.
That since the Duties of Printing the Laws, and Votes and
Proceedings, have been Blended, including May Session, 1747, and
excluding the present Session, there have been Twenty-two Sessions,
and Six Conventions of the Assembly, so that there have been
Thirteen Meetings of the Assembly in and since 1747, more than
at the Rate of one for each Year.
All which is humbly submitted to the Consideration of the Hon-
ourable House.
Signed p Order, John Rogers, Clerk.

Which was Read, and Ordered to lie on the Table.
The House adjourns till the Morrow Morning 9 of the Clock.
