costs of suit on being nonsuited But as to that part of the
Bill admitting People when sued to appear in their proper
Persons and Bail given if required to confess Judgment
without employing an Attorney We readily agree thereto As
to the last Clause obliging the Attorney not to sue for his
Fee till the Cause is finished We are afraid It will occasion
Attorneys who have good practice to refuse poor men's
Causes unless they pay them beforehand

The House Adjourns till to morrow Morning

Tuesday August 7th 1716
The Upper House Sate Present as Yesterday
Then was read at the Board a Letter from Charles Carrol
Esqr his Lordship's Agent directed to the honble his Lord-
ships Council & dated Tuesday morning August the 7th,
1716.

May It please your Honours
I know his Lordship expects that the 15d mentioned page
the 14th shall be made payable to himself or what person he
shall appoint to receive the same & agrees that 3d thereof
shall by a Clause be applyed for furnishing Arms & Ammu-
nition &c.
The Words by him appointed Page 15th interlined were
better left out and thereby more respect shewed his Lordship.
In the last folio but one the Clause for reshipping tob^o is very
unreasonable my Lord giving up his Whole Revenue in

U. H. J.

Consideration of the Duty, He expects it without Hazard
for if his Lordship should agree to a Clause & a War should
happen & a Tob^o Fleet taken his Lordship with his five
Brothers & Sisters may want a Support for that year Which
doubtless your House will think hard.
A Clause obliging the Clerks of the Provincial Court &
the several Clerks of the respective Countys to transmitt
yearly to his Lordship's Agent for the Time being a fair list
of all Alienations recorded yearly in their Offices and that
ex Officio & under a certain Penalty
This is what has occurred to me upon the cursory reading
of the rough Draught of the Law & desiring your Honours
will let me have the perusal thereof when It shall be fairly
copyed
I am your Honours humble Servant
Charles Carrol
