     My Lords and Gentlemen,

   1 oblerve with Pleafure, that the Events which have happened in the Courfe of the laft Year, give us Reafon to hope for the Duration of that Peace which has been fo happily eftablifhed, and which it is My Refolution ftrictly to maintain. The Couns of France and Spain have given Me frefh Affurances of their good Difpo- fitions. The future Quiet of the Empire has been confirmed by the unanimous Choice of a Succcflbr to the Imperial Dignity ; and the peaceable Election of the King of Poland has prevented thofe fatal Confe- quences which, upon fimilar Occafions, have fo frequently been deftructive to the Repofe of Europe. I am happy, therefore, to meet My Parliament, at a Time when no foreign Difturbances interrupt rheir Confuka- tions for the internal good Order and Profperity of My Kingdoms.

   The Affeftion which I bear to My People excites My earneft Wifhes, that every Seflion of Parliament may be diftinguilhed by fome Plans for the pub�ic Advantage, and for their Relief from thofe Difficulties, which an expenfive War has brought upon them. My Concurrence and Encouragement ihail never be wanting where

   To declare our Satisfaction at thofe Events of the laft Year, which promife the Continuance of the Peace fo happily eftablifhed and maintained by His Majefty�s wile and fteady Conduct; and to exprefs our Hopes, that the frelh Aflurances which have been given by the Courts of France and Spain, of their good Difpofitions, the unanimous Choice of a Succefibr to the Imperial Throne, and the undifturbed Eleftion of the King of Poland, will fecure and confirm the general Tranquillity of Europe.
   That in this Situation, we think it our Duty to give our particular Attention to fuch Regulations, as will moft effectually promote the internal good Order and Profperity of thefe Kingdoms.
   To aflure His Majefty, that we will, with Chearful- nefs and Difpatch, raife fuch Supplies as (hall be found neceflary for the current Service of the Year : And that, thoroughly fenfible of His Majefty�s paternal Concern for the Relief and Welfare of His People, in recommending to us the Improvement of the Public Revenue, and the Diminution of the National Debt, on which the future Safety of Great Britain muft depend, we will apply ourfelves, with the utmoft Zeal and Afliduity, to carry into Execution every proper Meafurc which may contribute to thefe great and falutary Purpofes, and which the State of His Majefty�s Dominions, and the Circumftances of the Times, fhall require.

   That the Road from King's Ware to Ledgway Crofs is very often overflowed by the Tides; that the Water at high Tide flows 4 Feet above the Road at Waterbead; but if Bridges and Caufeways were built, he believes they would carry off the Water; that the Creek at Waterbead, when it is high Water, is not paffable, without riding 4 Feet deep in Water; that Carriages may go as far as Waterbead, but not to King's Ware Town.
   That the Road from Newton Abbot to King's Ware Paffage is about Fifteen Miles in Length ; and that if the Road was railed and made Turnpike, it would be paffable at all Times.

    That if the Road was carried to Paington, it would open a Communication to Torbay.
    And if the Road was made Turnpike, Carriages could pafs King's Weare Paflage; and that he does not apprehend any one has a Right to ftop this Road, as there is an uninterrupted Paflage between King's Ware and Dartmouth; and that there is not any other Way from King's Weare to Dartmouth, but through the Paf- fage, without going by Totnefs, which is 3 or 4 Miles round, and the Road, as the Witnefs is informed, is very bad ; and the Road now contending for, being fo dangerous, has made Paflengers go round by Totnefs; that the Road from Totnefs to Dartmouth is about 11 Miles in Length.

  That the Statute Labour is not fuflicient to amend thefe Three Roads.
  That the Road from Coombe's Cellar to Shaldon is im- paffable till the Tide is half ebbed out, and then Carriages cannot pafs, becaufe they cannot turn.

  John Blake Efquire, informed your Committee, That the Filh Carts from Brixbam, Torkay* Cockington, Paing- ion* and Dartmouth* travel through thefe Roads in their Way to London* and that if they were repaired, he apprehends they might fave an Hour in travelling from Brixbam to Newton Abbot; that they are allowed Three Hours to do it in, but they are in general Three Hours and an half; that his Carriages have broke down between Brixbam and Newton Abbot by the Badnefs of the Road; and that if thele Roads were made Turnpike, the London Markets would be fupplied with Filh about an Hour fooner than at prefrnt.
  Mr. William Floyd further laid, That the Badnefs of the Road from Brixbam to Newton Abbot damages the Filh; that the Carriages are allowed Three Hours to travel from thence, but they feldom perform it in that l ime ; that he knew a Carriage that was ftopt Eleven 1 lours by the Badnefs of the Roads ; and not having another Carriage ready to carry the Filh in the Room of that which broke down, was the Occafion of this Delay.
    That if a Filhery was eftablilhed at Cockington, he does not apprehend it would anfwer lb well as that at Brixbam.
    Mr. James Pike further faid, that he travelled the Road from Newton Abbot to Keyberry Bridge; that it is a very good Road at all Tinies of the Year; but the Road from Keyberry Bridge to Sbaldon is very crooked, deep, and narrow, lies upon the Clift, and has many dangerous Turns, and is full of Water; the Road toTorkay is the bell of the '1 hree Roads, over the Downs might be made good by very little Repair, but grows worfe off the Downs, and is very rocky and bad.
