Gent.
We are Informed by the Chancellor, that you refuse to
Allow him his Disbursments for the Copying the Body of
Laws that were made last Sessions, & sent Home for his
Lordships Approbation And as on perusall of the Journal of
Accounts We find no such Allowance therein, we doubt you

P. 75

forgot, that it is as Necessary for the Publick Service, that the
Laws that are made here should be sent Home to his Lord-
ship, and as Reasonable they should be paid for; as those
Copys that are sent for the use of the Several County Courts
and as this is a Matter that has always hitherto been Allowed,
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
can take in promoting Controversy with us but rather through
Mistake.
Signed p Order. John Beale Cl Up. Ho.

Ordered the following Message be Prepared Viz :

By the Lower House of Assembly
August the 5^th 1721
May it Please your Hon^rs. In Answer to your Hon^rs Mes-
sage by Esq^r Hall we think fit to Acquaint you, that We have
Perused the Law relating to Differences between the English
and Indians as to Buying and Selling Liquors &c but gives
no Authority to the Governour (according to our Judgment)
to Grant a Commission to any person or persons to Ascertain
the Bounds of the Indians Lands; Neither do we Conceive it
can be done without a Short Bill being prepared for that Pur-
pose; which we leave to yo^r Consideracon
Signed p Order M. Jenifer Cl. L^o Ho.
