Present as Yesterday
His Excellency is pleased to communicate to this House the fol-
lowing Message
Gentlemen of the Upper House of Assembly.
You will observe by the Advertisement, herewith sent, what a
horrid Piece of Villainy hath been perpetrated in Baltimore County,
Application hath been made to me to grant my Pardon to One of
the Offenders, in Case he shall discover the others, but as I con-

to detect and bring to Justice the Villains concerned in this atrocious
Offence, I recommend it to You to appropriate a Sum to that
purpose, that it may be Notified in my Proclamation, I might ob-
serve to You, that it is not long since an Instance of a Similar
nature happened in the same County, which evinces the Necessity
of pursuing the most Vigorous Measures to bring such Villains to
condign Punishment
