By the Upper House of Assembly 23.^d November 1763
Gentlemen
The Fate of the Bill we this Morning returned to You making
it necessary that many Additions be made to the Journal of Accounts
so that all who have just Claims on the Publick may be Satisfied we
sent You back the Journal for that Purpose, Should You resolve
after such Additions have been made to let Us have it again this
Session we hope you will send it Up as soon as Possible that we
may have time to examine it for as we Perceive You have not made
the Clerk of the Council the usual allowance a Point this House will
ever insist on we are apprehensive some other just Claims have been
disregarded and therefore shall not pass it without a Carefull Exami-
nation, Should You think it reather too late in the session to make
the necessary Additions to the Journal at Present you will we hope
enter on it early in the next session so that this House may have
sufficient time to examine it and to look into the Several Vouchers
which You will at the same time be Pleased to send Us.
Signed p Order John Ross Clk. Up.^r Ho.

[There is a break here in the record. The clerk has failed to make
any entries for the afternoon session of Nov 23 and for the earlier
portion of the morning session of Nov 24*4 leaving a page and a
half blank in the record book. Unfortunately there are no rough
session notes for 1763 to fill out this void. — EDITOR.]
