committed, That the Committee had examined and
heard the Claim and Interest of both Towns; and, upon
due and serious Considerations of the whole Matter, had,
with some Amendments, agreed the Bill: Which
Amendments he read, with the Coherence, in the Bill;
and after, delivered the same in at the Clerk's Table:
And the Amendments were twice read; and upon the

But Sir Robert Paston, a Member of the House, appearing to be somewhat concerned in point of Interest;

annexed; and being numbered with the Yeas;
And the Question thereupon arising, Whether, by the
Orders of the House, he should not have withdrawn;
And Sir Robert, to avoid engaging the House in a
Debate, freely offering to withdraw; and that no Advantage should be had by his being told with the Yeas;
And the Voices being then equal; Mr. Speaker
declared himself to be with the Yeas:
And so it was resolved in the Affirmative, That the
said Bill be ingrossed.
