Oct. 6

By the Lower House of Assembly 6:^th October 1770.
May it please your Honours —

It was intimated to us at the last Session, that a Petition or Re-
monstrance was then preferred to your Honours, by some of the
Principal Inhabitants in and about Baltimore Town, expressed in
Terms highly reflecting upon the Proceedings of this House in
passing a Bill entitled, "An Act for appointing Places for holding
the next Election of Delegates for Baltimore County."

This matter did not pass unnoticed, but the Severe Season of the
Year obliged us to Postpone every thing not absolutely necessary to
be done, and therefore it was referred to this Session; And we now
desire your Honours will be pleased to order to be laid before us the
said Petition or Remonstrance, that we may proceed to take such
Measures as we may judge necessary for the support of the Rights
and Privileges of this House.

Signed by Order Jn.^o Duckett Cl. Lo. Ho.
