" In Council, Philad'a, July 5, 1777.


" WHEREAS, The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Penn- sylvania, in Section 30th, Ordains that Justices of the Peace shall be elected by the Freeholders of each Ward, District, or Township, as the Law shall direct, & that their names shall be returned to the President in Council, who shall Commissionate one or more of them for each Ward, District, or Township so returning, for Seven Years :


" And whereas, An act of Assembly intitled ' An Act directing the modes & times of electing Justices of the Peace for the City of Philadelphia, & the several & respective Counties of this Common- wealth, & for other purposes therein mentioned,' was passed on the 11th of February last :


" And whereas,, By inattention, mis-apprehension, absence of great numbers of Freeholders in the defence of their Country, (the Militia of several Counties being then in actual Service, shortness of- the times that had been appointed, neglect & other causes, some Districts, & also some Townships in Counties in which a Township has been made a District for this purpose,) did not hold the election:

of Justices on the days by the said Aot appointed, and it was likely that like omission would happen in other places, of which the times for such Elections had not then elapsed :


" And whereas, On the 15th day of March last past, A Supple- ment to the said recited Act of Assembly was passed, to remedy all mistakes & lapses thereby given to the Freeholders in such cases to make their Election, which time is, now also passed :


" And whereas, In & by the said supplement, further provision was made in the Premises in the words following :


" And whereas, The Frecholders of the several Wards in the City of Philadelphia have neglected to Elect Justices of the Peace, as by the said Act was directed, and it may happen that some other parts of the State may also neglect to elect Justices, at the time in the said Aot, & by this Act directed.


" Be it enacted by the Authority aforesaid, 'That where any such neglect has been, or may be, at the time by the above recited Act, or by this Act directed, for the election of Justices for any district, in any or either of the said Counties, the Commissioners and As- sessors of such County or Counties, or any five of them, (in such County or Counties where they are directed so to do by the said Act,) are hereby enjoined & required to appoint a time and place for Election of Justices of the Peace for such district, and give notice thereof to the Freeholders who shall hold the said Election, and in all things relating thereto, act & do agreeable to the directions of the Act to which this Act is a Supplement ; and when they shall have elected Justices they shall be deemed & taken to be Justices of the Peace, as is in and by the said Act declared ; And whereas, notwithstanding the last recited section of the said Supplementary Act, the Freeholders of some Districts may yet neglect to Elect Justices of the Peace in manner aforesaid; Provision by said Sup- plement is further made, that upon application in Writing by Twenty or more of the Freeholders of any such District to the President of this State, it shall be lawful for the President in Council to appoint & Commissionate one or more Justice or Justices of the Peace, as the case may require, for any such District which may still neglect to elect Justices of the Peace; Wherefore, Notice is hereby given to the Freeholders of any District as aforesaid, wherein no Election of Justices of the Peace hath been hitherto holden, of the remedy provided by Law, and of the mode in which they ought to proceed in order to have justice duly Administered, and it is recommended, because of these words in the 3d Section of said Supplement above transcribed, "in such County & Counties where they are so directed to do by the said Act,' Words which seem to confine the appoint- mit of the time and place of the Election to the Commissionera & Assessors of the Counties of Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Lan- caster, Berks, York & Northampton, that in case of the return of may choice yet to be made of Justices in Cumberland, Bedford, Northumberland and Westmoreland, that said returns be accom-

panied with an application in Writing from Twenty or more of the Freeholders of the District to the President, to appoint as aforesaid, in order to make the Commission valid, whatever said recited words may purport, at the same time the Freeholders may be assured that their elections and the return thereof shall be regarded as in other cases.


" N. B. Some Districts have perhaps made Elections regularly, but their Officers may not have made returns of the Persons Elec- ted, or having their returns, their returns may have mis-carried or fallen into the hands of ill-disposed persons, & may have been sup- pressed ; in such cases new returns are wanted, and it would be safe to send Duplicates.


" These lapses and defects prevent a Second Commission of the Peace for each County from being issued. while they should include. all the vacant Districts for single Commissions, being a great ex- pence on the Counties.

" Whereas, great inconveniences hath happened to many persons in this State by the Continental Officers mistaking a recommenda- tion of the Hon'ble Congress, addressed to the several States, that Elaey would permit Servants to be enlisted into the Continental Service, for an authoritative direction in the premises; And Where- as, many of the said Officers are also Officers in the Pay of this State, have thereupon proceeded to enlist bought Servants, under m denture, to the great damage of their masters.


"And Whereas, the Legislature of the Commonwealth having had opportunity of perceiving that such inlistments, though dis- trening to the Masters, had not promoted the General Service to wD'y proportionable degree, have declined giving their concurrence in Gaid measure :


"And Whereas, some persons, pretending ignorance, may still inlist Servants; these are therefore, strictly to forbid all Recruit- ing Ofcers in the Continental Service, and all others, from enlist- ing Servants or Apprentices within this State, on pain of being prosecuted with the utmost rigour of the Law.
