Gentlⁿ. We are Informed by the Chancellour that you
refuse to Allow him his Disbursments for the Copying of
the Laws that were made last Sessions and sent home for his

of Accounts We find no such Allowance therein We doubt
you forgett that it is as necessary for the Publick Service
that the Laws that are made here should be sent home to his
Lordship and as reasonable they should be paid for as those
Copies that are sent for the use of the Severall County Courts,
And as this is a matter that has always hitherto been Allow'd
We are sorry you should give us the trouble of a message on
such an occasion and hope it is not out of any pleasure you

only desire you to allow him for his years Sallary which Ends
this month And for such further time as he may reasonably
have notice of his Discharge in which we may Suppose may be
about three months.
