"To obviate the incenveniency of having
Il number Of officers throughout this coun-
ty who are unable to form complete com.
panes, ReSoloed, That each hundred where
there are more officers than there are pri
vatc men to fill up each officers company,
then throughout the whole hundred every

this sentence is left unfinished, probably
by an oversight of the clerk.

delinquency be given 10y advertisement in
the hundred where such culprit resides.
