Mr Speaker & Gentlemen of the Assembly

On Reading a third time the Bill to amend & continue An Act
Intituled an Act to Regulate the Inspection of Pork Beef Rice etc We would propose
the follg Amendments, Viz.

That there sho'd be two Inspectors for the Town of Wilmington

That the Collector should have Two Shillings and Eight Pence for Granting a Certificate
of his having administerd the Oath to Masters of Vessells

That the breadth of Staves assertained in the Bill should be clean of sap

That the Clause allowing Inspectors to have Assistants should be Struck out as it
must have a tendency to many Frauds and there cannot be any Necessity for
such assistants, the Inferior Court having by the Bill a power to appoint
more than one Inspector in any Town when necessary

That the clause allowing Provisions to be kept three Months after Inspection without
Reinspection before shipping should be dele'd, as there is a Clause in the Bill
[crossed out] allowing [end crossed out] directing it to be done, sho'd such Provisions remain longer on hand
[crossed out] [illegible] [end crossed out] than Twenty days, which we think will have a better Effect

To which amendments if you agree [crossed out] [illegible] [end crossed out] ^(we desire you will) send some of your Members to See the
same made.
