As to that Part of the Charter relating to the Recorder this
Conference humbly Conceive the Person appointed thereupon a
Recorder is not qualifyed by Law for that office in Regard he
is Exempted by Law as not having been a Resident here for
three years
It is likewise proposed that the Justices of the County
Courts &c may Enjoy and Continue their usual Libertys of
Executing their offices of Justices of Peace within the said City
of Annapolis in as full & ample manner as heretofore.
And that all By Laws that hereafter shall be made by the
Mayor Recorder and Aldermen &c be not otherwise binding
to Any other the Inhabitants of the Province Save only in rela-
tion to the Citizens of Annapolis
As to that part of the Charter relating to the Toll these
Conferees think the Toll too unreasonable and Excessive; For
It is Considered if two thousd pds be imported here that Ex-
travagant Toll there mentioned may amount to one hundd pds
And It is thought more for the Benefit! of the City if there be
no Toll mentioned
All which is humbly offered & recommended to your Excell
Council & House of Delegates
Signed p order Thos Jones Cl Conference
Col Nicholas Lowe and the other Delegates of the sd Con-
ference bring up the Concurrence of the House to the above
