Henry Lowe Esq^r from the Upper House delivers M^r

Speaker The Supplementary Bill to the Act for Stay of Exe-
cution after the tenth day of May yearly Endorst thus Viz.

By the Upper House of Assembly July the 26^th 1721.

Gentlemen. On Reading and Commenting on the within
Bill, We think it as Reasonable that Executions out of the
Commissary's Office should be Liable to be Superseded as well
as those out of the Chancery Court, But we Likewise think
it highly Reasonable, that in all Judgments for Money Debts
or Bills of Exchange the Several Courts should have it left
to their Discretion to allow or Disallow such Superseedeas

as they may find it most Agreeable to the Equity of the Case ;
which shall be Resolved on and Determined at the Time of the
Judgments Rendered and the Clerks of the Respective Courts
shall note such Resolutions on the Back of the Execution at
the Time of the Issuing thereof, which the Sherif or Coroner
Respectively shall be Obliged to take due Notice of.
With which (which we Esteem Necessary) Qualifications
to said Bill, it will Pass.
Signed p Order. John Beale Cl. Up Ho
