By the Upper House of Assembly 30^th 9.^ber 1765
Gentlemen
The Clause we proposed to be inserted in the Bill for the Relief
of Prisoners to compel single Persons of suff.^t Ability of Body to
make Satisfaction to their C.^rs by Servitude is in our Opinion too
just to be altogether waved
Whether there are any Prisoners who have offered to make any
Satisfaction to all their C.^rs by Servitude and have had their Over-
tures rigorously rejected by them is a Fact of which we have no
Evidence [This message which begins thus is printed in full in the
Upper House journal, pp. 69-70]
and the Bill Entitled an Act for the Benefit of the Poor and En-
couragement of Industry and the foll^g Message Viz By the Upper

Gentlemen
The Bill Entitled an Act for the Benefit of the Poor and En-
couragement of Industry being amended accordingly to the Proposal
made by your Message of Yesterday will meet with the Concurrence
of this House
Signed by Order UScott Cl. Up. Ho
