Gent. His Excy having Comunicated to this House the
following Instruccon from the Lord Propry we recomend it
to the Consideracon of your House viz:
Whereas eight p Cent without our Privity or Knowledge
has been deducted out of the eighteen Pence p hhd, and as it
were against our Consent, when the Condicon on which we
declared to you that We were willing to agree to the Law made
in our ever Honoured Father's Lifetime was provisionally
that the mony given by the new intended Law should be made
payable to ourselves and nothing being at all then or therein
Menconed of a Deduction for the Navall Officers for their
Collecting thereof And We having then ready Officers of our
own whose Sallarys for the year We must pay and who was
Suffered to Collect the Tonage of Ships only We think it just
and equitable that the said Eight p Cent be made good to us
and Cannot think it either becomes the Navall Officers or
anybody for them to be their own Carvers But that they
ought to leave us to give our own Officers what We think fit
for their Service.
Signed p Ordr Jno Beard Cl: Upp Ho:
