On Motion, Resolved, That this House will forthwith make Pro-
vision for Raising, Cloathing and Paying 400 Men, Commissioned
and Non-commissioned Officers included, for his Majesty's Service,
agreeable to the Requistion of his Majesty's Secretary of State, and
that they be continued in Pay till the first Day of April, in the Year
1763.
Resolved, That the Sum of Eight Pounds Bounty Money be paid
to each able-bodied Man, who shall be Enlisted by any Officer, and
shall pass Muster, and shall serve under any Commanding Officer
duly authorized; and that Twenty Shillings be paid to the Officer,
who shall Enlist such able-bodied Man.
Resolved, That this House will, out of the first Supplies that shall
be granted for his Majesty's Service, appropriate a Sum sufficient to
repay the Money advanced in the Year 1758 by General Forbes, for
the Pay, Victualling and Cloathing the Troops, formerly in the Pay
of this Province, from the Time the Money granted for the Pay,
Subsistence and Cloathing of the said Men, was expended, till the
said Troops were taken into his Majesty's Service in the Year 1758
by General Forbes, so far as the same shall appear to be just and
reasonable.
The House refers the farther Consideration of the Subject-matter
contained in his Excellency's Speech, and his Majesty's Secretary
of State, and Sir Jeffery Amherst's Letters, till the Meeting of the
House on Monday Morning.
Mr. Hammond, Mr. Jacobs, and Mr. Gantt, have Leave of Absence
