" During my Administration I have often been put to great Difficulties for want of Money to defray the Expences of such In- dians as have applied to me from Time to Time in the Recess of Assembly, and have sometimes been under the Necessity of detain- ing them longer than I should have done on that Account, which has greatly enhanced the Public Expence. I think it would be to the Honor, as well as Interest of the Province, that a permanent . Fund should be established for this Purpose. I therefore earn- estly recommend this Matter to your Consideration, and hope you will make such Provision as you judge may be adequate to the Oc- casion, without Loss of Time.

Two Members of Assembly waited on the Governor and presented him a Message, which follows in these Words, vizt :
" May it please your Honour :
" The House taking into their serious Consideration your Honor's Message of the 16th Instant, with the Minutes of Conference there- with sent by the Secretary, beg leave to remark that the House esteem it their Duty at all Times carefully to attend to the Com- plaints of Indians, and to apply every reasonable Means in their Power to keep them in good Temper and Harmony with this Gov- ernment. But, as it does not appear by the present Application for a Treaty with this Province what is the Cause thereof, nor is it

made with such Certainty or with those Ceremonies usually atten- ding such Requisitions, We apprehend We should not at present be justifiable in burthening our Constituents with the great Expence which would attend a public Treaty. We therefore beg leave to recommend it to your Honor to confer further with the Indians now in the City, and if they can inform you of any Complaints the six nations or any other Indians have against this Government, or of any other Motive to desire a Treaty with us, the House will, upon being acquainted therewith, duly consider the same, and afford to your Honor such Advice and Assistance as the Nature of such Complaints or Motives may require. With regard to your Honor's Recommendation that the House would provide a Fund to defray the Occasional Expences of Indians coming to this City during the Recess of Assembly, we are of Opinion that the establishing such a Fund may be attended with Inconveniencies, as thereby Numbers of Indians will be encouraged to pay frequent and unne- cessary Visits to Philadelphia, to the great Expence of the Province. And We look upon such an Establishment the more unnecessary as former Houses of Assembly have always chearfully discharged such Expences as have accrued upon like Occasions, and We pre- sume your Honor may confide in it, that this, and future Assem- blies, will readily defray any reasonable Charges that may be re- quired for such Purposes.

This being the Day appointed by the Board for the further Con- sideration of the Return of the new Road from Schuylkill to Stras- burg, in Lancaster County, which was laid before them on the 26th of September last, there appeared at the Board, in consequence of Notice given them by the Secretary, a Number of the Inhabitants of Chester County, who had preferred Petitions against the Con- firmation of it, and praying a Review, so that the Road might be altered, in order to accommodate them and others residing in the most Southern Parts of that County. They then made their seve- ral Objections to the Road as laid out, some complaining that the Road, by running through their Lands, cut their Fields and Mead-

ows in such a Manner as would do them great Injury, and others asserting that a straiter and better Road might be laid out, leading in a direct Course from Strasburg to the Middle Ferry on Schuyl- kill, leaving the Ship Tavern on the Lancaster Road about four miles to the Northward, which would not only be more convenient for the People of Strasburg and other parts of Lancaster County, but also be of much greater Use and Benefit to those of Chester County in general.
Several of the Persons appointed to lay out the new Road also attended the Board, and replied to the Objections which were made, and they represented to the Board that they had taken very great Pains to discover the best Grounds for the Road, so as to lay out the same as strait and level as the Nature of the Country would admit of, and to do as little Injury to individuals as possible, and that upon a careful Examination, they found the Country to the Southward of the laid out Road so broken and Hilly in many Places as not to admit of a strait and tolerable Road through the same.
There being but a small Board met, it was judged proper to post- pone the further Consideration of this Matter till Saturday the tenth of November next.

"I am glad to see you here, and by this String of Wampum I bid you welcome, and wipe the Sweat and Dust from your Bodies, which you have contracted in coming down on your Road here. Í am now going to speak to you in answer to what you said to me a few Days ago, and by this String open your Ears and Eyes that you may see me clearly, and hear distinctly what I have to say to you. I also cleanse your Throats, that what I speak may have a free Passage to your Hearts.

" Brethren :
" You told me you were come from Welowanung, or the big, Horn, where you live and keep a great Fire, and that as you came along you observed the Road to be much obstructed with Dirt and Nas- tiness, and very Bloody; that you swept all the Dirt and Filth away, and cleansed all the Blood from our Bodies and Houses. You also told me you saw a great many of our Brethren's . Bones. lying about on the Road in different Places; that you collected them together, and carried them out of the Road to a Place where no Person had ever been, and buried them under the Roots of a great Tree, so deep that neither any of us, nor our Children, nor Grand Children, may ever see them again or know where they were buried.
" Brethren :
" It gives me great Concern to think there should be any Blood or Bones of our Brethren or Friends lying scattered on the Road and unburied at this Time ; I thought they had been buried long ago. I know I did every Thing on my part to bury them, and to wipe away the Tears from the Eyes of their Relations and Friends, and remove the Sorrow from their Hearts, by my Messages and Belts sent to Sir William Johnson on that Account, with a Quan- tity of Goods to cover their Graves, and I have been since informed it was regularly done, to the Satisfaction of all Relations and Friends concerned. I now heartily join my Hands with yours, and remove all the Blood from the Roads, and wipe all places clean that have been sprinkled or stained with it; and I collect together and bury all their Bones so deep under Ground that neither you, nor we, nor any of our Children, or Grand Children, may ever see them again or know they ever lay there.
A Belt.
" Brother :
"You tell me there is some thing the Matter with my Heart; that it lies all on one side ; that you make it strait and good, as it used to be when we talked goods words together at the Treaty at Easton.
" Brethren :
" I am sorry you should think there is anything wrong in my Heart ; I am afraid some evil Spirit has been whispering some thing that is not true in your Ears. Be assured my Heart is good and sound, and full of Love for all my Brethren, the Indians ; It does not lie on one side, as you say, but in the middle of my Breast; I have nothing but good will for my Brethren, and you may always depend on this, that when my Mouth speaks good words to you they always come from my Heart.

" Brethren :
"I thank you for removing all the Stumps and Stones from the Road between your Towns and this City, and for clearing away the

Bushes and every other Thing that Stopped it up. I do by this Belt, join you in making that Road so clean that nothing shall re- main in it that can hurt the feet of any of my Brethren and Friends when they travel it, and so clear that we may see each other from from our own Houses.
A Belt.
" Brethren :
" I am sensible of the great distance you now have to travel to trade and supply yourselves and your Families with Blankets and other Necessaries. Agreeable to your request, I will speak to and encourage some of my People to come and build a Store House among you, to supply you with every Thing you may want to buy, and to endeavour to get a Smith to go with him to mend your Guns.
A Belt.
" Brethren :
" You tell me you don't come down here of your own accord, but that you are sent by the six Nations, and desire me to look towards your Country ; that you and the six Nations desire to come down next Spring, to see and talk with me ; that you have a great deal to say to me, and would be glad to know whether I should chuse to receive you here at our Council Fire or at Easton.
. "Brethren :
" The Six Nation Indians and others of our friendly Indians, have been told by Sir William Johnson, that he and He alone, has a Commission and Order from our Great King on the other side of the great waters, to hold Treaties and confer with Indians, and that when they want to speak any Thing that is in their Hearts, he has told them they must come to him and speak first to him.
" Brethren :
" It will always give me Pleasure to see my Brethren, the In- dians, when they have any Thing in their Hearts to say to me, but as Sir William Johnson is appointed by the Great King to confer with all Indians to the Northward and Westward, I cannot now fix any Time or Place to meet and confer with you in a Treaty till I have wrote to Sir William Johnson, and mentioned your desire to him. This I shall do immediately, and when I receive his An- swer I shall send a Messenger to you on Purpose; In assurance of which I give you this Belt.
A Belt.
" Brethren :
" I thank you for the Care you took in delivering my message and Belt sent you about a year ago, and to hear that every thing was done agreeably to my Desire.

" Brethren :
" I desire you will inform our Brethren, the six Nation Indians, and others of our Friends, that I cloathed the Cherokee Indian and his wife and Child who came down with you, and sent them by Water to South Carolina, and gave him a Letter to the Governor there, desiring him to take Care of him, and send him the short- est and safest way to the Cherokee Town where he lived. This I did because it would be much easier and safer for him than to travel all the way by Land, through the several Governments, and I am assured the Governor of Carolina will take great care of him.
A Belt.
" Brethren :
" You tell me you are poor and desire me to look on you as such. I have always been ready to assist my Brethren, the Indians, when they stand in need of my Help. I assure you Brethren, I am at present very poor myself. The Cloaths I generally give the Indians are all made on the other side the Great Waters. The Ships that bring them before Winter sets in are not yet arrived, so that there are very few Blankets or any Indian Goods in this Town ; what few I could find in Town I have bought and now give you, and hope they will keep you warm this Winter, and desire you to accept them as a Mark of my Love and good will towards you."

Three Members of Assembly waited on the Governor with a Message from the House, acquainting him that they had met on the 20th of this Month, pursuant to the Charter and Laws of the Government, and had proceeded to chuse their Speaker, and desired to know when and where they should wait on him to present him for His Honour's Approbation ; and the Governor having answered that he should be ready to receive the House immediately, at Mrs. Clay's, they accordingly attended there and presented John Vining, Esquire, as their Speaker, who, after being approved by the Gov- ernor, claimed the usual Priviledges, which were allowed, and then they withdrew.

The Assembly having sent up to the Governor for his perusal and Concurrence the four following Bills, they were duly read and considered, and this day returned to the House by the Secretary, with the Governor's assent to the three first mentioned Bills, and a few small Amendments to the other; to which Amendments the , House immediately acceded, Vizt. :
" An Act to invest John Clayton with an exclusive Priviledge and Benefit of making and selling a Machine for threshing of Wheat, on a Model by him invented."
" An Act for killing of Squirrels in the County of Kent."
" An Act obliging Persons returned and appointed for Constables to serve accordingly, and for ascertaining their Fees."
" An Act for the more effectual embanking, draining, and im- proving the Marsh, Cripple and low Land on Herring Gut Branch, in little Creek Hundred, and County of Kent, upon Delaware, in the Tenure and Occupation of John Brinckle, Jonathan Osborn, and others."
Three Members afterwards presented to the Governor another Bill for Concurrence, entituled " A Supplementary Act to an Act entituled ' An Act for regulating Elections, and ascertaining the Number of Members of Assembly,""' which being read, the Governor judged that he had not sufficient Time before the breaking up of the Assembly fully to consider it, and therefore sent a Verbal Mes- sage to the House by the Secretary, acquainting them that for that Reason he proposed to keep it in his Hands, under Consideration, 'till the next sitting of the Assembly, as he knew it could be at- tended with no Disadvantage to the Public.

The Governor laid before the Board a Transcript of a Record of the Conviction of George Allen for Horse Stealing, whereby it appears that at a Court of Oyer and Terminer and General Goal delivery, held at New Castle, for the County of New Castle, on Monday the 15th day of October last, before John Vining, Richard Mc Williams, Casar Rodney and David Hall, Esquires, Justices of the Supreme Court and of the said Court of Oyer and Terminer, the said George Allen was tried and convicted upon his own Con-

fession, of feloniously stealing a Gelding, of the Value of fifteen Pounds, the Property of Robert Wallace, on the 18th of September last, and had received Sentence of Death for the same. The said Record being taken into Consideration, and the said Justices having recommended the said George Allen as an object of Mercy, The Governor was pleased to order that a Pardon should be made out, under the Great Seal of the lower Counties, and delivered to him.
By the Transcript of another Record of Conviction, laid also be- fore the Board, it appears that at a Court held for the Trial of Negroes at Philadelphia, for the City and County of Philadelphia, on the 24th day of October last, before George Bryan and James Biddle, Esquires, two of His Majesty's Justices, &cª-, duly Com- missionated, with the Assistance of six substantial Freeholders of the said County, legally sworn and affirmed, a certain Negroe Will, the Slave of Luke Morris, of the said County, was tried and con- victed of Felony and Burglary committed on the 1st of March last, in the Mansion House of a certain Thomas Lee, in the said County of Philadelphia, and that the said Negroe had received Sentence of Death for the same.
The Governor at the same Time, laid before the Board a Petition in behalf of the said Criminal, from his Master, and subscribed by the Justices and Freeholders before whom the said Negroe was tried and convicted, recommending him as a proper Object of Mercy. The Council taking the Matter into Consideration, advised the Gov- ernor to grant him a Pardon, on Condition that his Master should immediately transport him out of this Province, and give Security that he shall never again return into it.

Several Inhabitants of Chester County, at the same Time attending at the Board, presented other Petitions, chiefly from the People of that County, against the said Road, which were likewise read, and the Objections made by the Persons present were duly heard ; Whereupon, the Board, after full Consideration had of the several Matters contained in the Petitions, and the Declarations made by the Persons who were appointed to View and lay out the Road, were of Opinion that the same ought to be confirmed, And the said Road is accordingly, by the Board, ad- judged to be for ever hereafter a Public Road or King's High- way, and Ordered to be opened of the breadth of Sixty feet at least, and to be recorded in the Council Book, as the Act of Assembly in that Case Directs.
It is further Ordered, that the Supervisors of the Highways for the several Townships in the Counties of Philadelphia, Chester, and Lancaster, through which any part of the said Road leads, do, with all convenient Speed, cause the same to be cleared and opened through their respective Townships, according to the Courses and Distances set forth in the said Return of Survey, which follows in these words, Viz* :
