Mr. Speaker represented to this House, that his Situation in
the Country render'd it vastly inconvenient to him alone, to corre-
spond with the Agent of this Colony at the Court of Great-Britain,

Ordered, That the Members of the City of New-York, or the
major Part of them, be a Committee of Correspondence, to corre-
spond with the Agent of this Colony, at the Court of Great-Britain,
during the Recess of the House, concerning the Public Affairs of
this Colony, and that they lay before the House, Copies of all such
Letters as they may write to him, and also all such Letters and
Advices as they may receive from him, respecting the same.
