L^t Col Ward and nine more brought from the House a Bill
for reviving the Act for Limitation of Officers Fees and the
following Message Viz.

By the House of Delegates
July the 2^d 1714

We are much concerned that your Honours do insist so
much for inserting a Clause relating to the Attornys' ffees in
the Bill for relieving the Inhabitants of this province from
some Aggrievances in prosecution of Suits at Law Since It
passed your Board with some Amendments as your Honours
may see by your Journal of the 30th of June wherein you
never mentioned the said Clause

This House is desirous to avoid Multiplicity of Messages
as tending very much to the Delay of Business and therefore
desire your Honours to assent to the s^d Bill being now before
your Board

Signed p order Tho^s Macnemara Cl Ho Del.
