His Excellency communicates to M.r Speaker the following Mes-
sage.
Gentlemen of the Lower House of Assembly,
I had the Honour some Time ago of receiving a Letter from his
Excellency the Earl of Dunmore, Governor of Virginia, informing
me, that, at the last Meeting of the Virginia Assembly, an Act was
passed by the Legislature of that Colony, to prevent the Counter-
feiting the Paper Money of the other Colonies, a Copy of which
his Lordship, by Desire of the Virginia Assembly, transmitted to
me, requesting me to recommend it to the Assembly of this Province,
to pass an Act similar to the same; and as I am persuaded the so
doing will greatly contribute to the Security of those Colonies that
are under a Necessity of adopting a Paper Currency, I hope you will
take the same under your immediate Consideration, and in those
Hopes I herewith inclose you a Copy of the above mentioned Act.
