Collo Young from the Uppr House Delivers Mr Speaker
The Supplementary Bill to the Art to prevent making Trashy
Tobacco, Thus Endorst, viz.
By the upper House of Assembly Octobr the 31st 1722.
Gent. Upon reading the within Bill We are of Opinion
that the repealing of the Two paragraphs in the Act for
preventing the making of Trashy Tobacco and in that other
Act explanatory thereof, wherein certain fines are imposed
on the makers of trashy Tobacco, and in lieu thereof im-
posing a severe fine with other Discouragements upon such
persons as shall be assiduous in discovering all unqualified
Tobacco, will render the good Intention of the makers of the
former Acts ineffectuall, and wholly defeat the Legislature
in their provident Endeavours for the Improvement of the
Staple of Tobacco so necessary to the Comon Weal of this
Province for which Reasons this Bill will not pass.
Signd p Order Sam Skippon Cl Up House.
