476 Assembly Proceedings, July 17- Aug. 10, 1716.

U. H. J.

We must believe if Mr Carroll's Caution was a friendly one
He would have rendered it more Effectual by explaining It.
But as It is, It rather seems to be a general Threat from pass-
ing any Laws or if any should be passed yet they should not
take Effect
It is humbly the opinion of these Conferees that Mr Carrol
has used a very indecent Way & Freedom with his Excellency
in assuming to himself the Liberty of directing him in so
general a manner A Freedom We have never heard before
used by any Subject to a Governour
And It is humbly the Opinion of these Conferees that Mr
Carrol is guilty therein of great Arrogance unless He has
some superior Authority. If he has It ought to be made
publick
Signed p order John Beale Cl Conferce

With the Lower Houses Approbation thereof and desire
that this House would concur therewith
Whereupon this House do not only concur therewith but
recommend it to the Lower House that the said Mr Carrol be
sent for before them and unless He shews sufficient power to

p 304

justify such his arrogant Proceedings that they will shew their
just Resentment by reprimanding him after such manner as
they shall think fitt.
Whereupon the following Message was sent to the Lower
House by Col Addison
