By the Lower House of Assembly, June 21, 1768
May it please your Honours,
This House agrees to the passage of the Bill, entitled, An Act for
amending and declaring the Law in the Cases therein Mentioned,
with all your proposed Amendments, except the Fifth, which, we are
apprehensive, might be productive of too much Delay, and therefore
inconvenient in the County Courts, as those Courts do not Generally
sit seven Days at One time we therefore propose, that instead of the
fifth Amendment, the Proviso be as follows, provided always, that
such Award shall remain seven Days in the Provincial Court, during
their Sitting, if returned to the Provincial Court; or Three Days
in the respective County Courts, during the Sitting, if returned to
any County Court, after the Return thereof, before any such Judg-
ment shall be entered up, And if it shall appear to the Justices of the
Court, to which any such Award shall be returned, within the respec-
tive times aforesaid, that the same was Obtained by Fraud, or Mal-
practice, in, or, by Surprise, Imposition, or Deception of the Arbitra-
tors, or without due Notice to the Parties, or their Attorney, or
Attornies, it shall and may be lawful for the said Court, to set aside
such Award, and refuse to give Judgment thereon
Signed by Order, T. Wright, Cl, Lo. Ho,
Which is read the first Time and ordered to lie on the Table
