The honourable Thomas Brooke Esqr and Col Willm Coursey
ffrom the Upper House deliver Mr Speaker the following
Message, which being read was ordered to be Entred (Viz) —
By the Upper house of Assembly
July 23d 1716.
Wee have debated the latter part of your Message con-
cerning the reenacting the laws in his Lordships Stile and doe
agree to your first reason, That you are not sensible of any
materiall addition to be made to them, and also to your
second that the reenacting those laws for the Sake of a Style
would look like Questioning the authority by which they were
made, which cannot be doubted of, likewise wee agree with
your third reason that the reenacting of them would be a
great charge to the publick, and haveing also debated your
fourth reason wee doe not apprehend that the continueing
the laws in the Stile they now are can be any Derogation to
his Lordships Honour or right of Government, or prejudicial
to any person, provided that an Act be now made to transferr
all the fines and forfeitures, (given by these present Acts of
Assembly to his Majesty his heirs and Successors) to the
Right Honourable the Lord Propry his heirs and Successors
for the uses in the said Laws mentioned.
Signed p order W Bladen Cl Upr ho.
