Which Committee being joined by a Committee of the Council, made report as follows, viz:

That the several Acts under consideration be finished and passed. And considering the necessity of raising the Canada Regiment, and uncertainty of recruiting officers raising the men, think it absolutely necessary for the Court to set next week.
