by your Address to his Lordship fully Apprised his Lordship
of the reasons inducing you to make no Addition to the late
regulation of Officers fees we should think it would have been
somewhat Agreeable to a Parliamentary Course of Proceed-
ing and we should have taken it kindly if you had Acquainted
us with those reasons that we might have had the Oppertunity
of Joyning with you in them if Approved or Shewing you our
Sentiments thereon if Otherwise, And Also in Concurring with
you in such Other parts of your Addresse as should be found
necessary for the Common Good we Esteeming ourselves as
much Concernd in all Publick Acts for the Welfare of the
Country as you are And we are sorry to Observe we find it
sometimes necessary to put you in mind of it. We Desire the
result of your Consideration on this Affaire.
Signed p Order Joh Beale Cl Up ho.

necessary to Declare our opinions that it may be well Lawfull
for the Governour to grant such Com" by Virtue of the Act
now in force to which we Desire your Concurrence
