And the following Message. Vizt
By the Upper house of Assembly 24.^th Nov^r 1763
Gentlemen
We are Sincerely desirious that some Measure may be taken for
the protection of the Inhabitants on the Western frontiers; But as
there is a Sum of Money in the Loan Office unappropriated, which
hath been levied and collected under the £40,000 Act for the defence
of the Province and more will be paid in by Virtue of that Act,
We propose that Such monies may be applied in the first place to
the purposes intended by your Bill, and that the Sums arising from
the Ordinary licences may be granted to Make good any Deficiency
there may be after the Application of the Monies above mentioned
and the Bill for the Regulation of Ordinary keepers be continued
accordingly.
Signed p Order. J. Ross Cl. Up. Ho
