twelve Months after such Refusal, is a very great Hardship
upon the Creditor and has a Tendency to put a Damp upon all
Inland Trade, which cannot Subsist without Credit; and that
the poor Debtor, who is proposed to be relieved by this Bill,
will be under greater Disadvantages and Hardships for want
of Credit, than he could have Benefit should this Bill pass.
This House is also further of opinion that the including
Officer's fees to be paid as this Bill directs, makes it not only
impracticable but in a great measure impossible for the Sher-
riffs to collect them, and to Account for them with the Officers
as by Law they are now directed to do
And further that the Prices of some of the Commodities
mentioned, are at so high a Rate that it is impossible the Credi-
tor should make his own money of them with the greatest
Diligence he can Use. ffor which Reasons this House is not
willing this Bill should pass, as it now stands
Signed p ordr Saml Skippon Cl Up Ho.
And the Bill thus endorsed is sent to the Lower House
by Col Tilghman who returns and says he delivered it.
