p. 67

We take notice that the Allowance to the Com^rs of the
review is no more than what is given to the first Comissioners
And as we think it highly reasonable that there should be
some mark of Distinction, One of the Comissioners of the
review being to be either of his Lordships honourable Councill
or of the Provinciall Judges And farther that it is very
probable they will be required to Travail to several Counties
remote from their habitacon which by the Provision that is
made will not be Sufficient to defray their Necess-ary Charge.
This is referred to your Consideration 'tho for the good of
our Country we are willing at this time so usefull a bill shoud
Pass.
