"... A Petition of Edward Legge was presented to the House & read Setting forth
as Vizt.

That the Act Vesting the Ferry over Ashley River in Trustees for the use of Mrs.
Elizabeth Elliott, Wife of Thos. Elliott, Expired many months Since. That the
Petitioner two Months past undertook to Manage the said Ferry for which purpose
he has Expended Some Money to Accomodate Travellers, that the Causey Leading to
the said Ferry requires almost Constant Labour to render it passable, that the
Petitioner is determined, if the Said Ferry is Vested in him, to Repair the Said
Causey and Supply the Ferry with Suitable & proper Boats; therefore Prays that
the said Ferry may be vested in him for 7 Years or for Such other Term as the
House Shall Judge most Expedient by a Law for that Purpose.

Order'd That the Petition be referred to the Consideration of the committee to
whom the Petition of the Inhabitants of St. Andrews Parish is referred. And that
they do Examine the Matter thereof & report the Same with their Opinion
thereupon to the House...."
