352 Assembly Proceedings, October 9-November 3, 1722.

U. HJ.

A Message from the Lower House by Mr Humphreys and

three others which is as follows (Viz)

By the Lower House of Assembly Octr the 19th 1722
May it please your Honours.
The Reason of the Exception in the within Bill is because
we esteem it Unparliamentary and not fit to be drawn into
Practice that while any Contest is depending an Act should
be made to alter that Law on which the contending Parties
grounded their Suits, which would be indeed to make the Act
have a Retrospect, and besides to leave out that Exception
would be to grant the Petitioners more than they pray'd for
Signed p ordr M: Jenifer Cl. Lo. Ho.
