a Bill for relief of such as have Suffered by the Tobacco Law
thus Endorst Viz :

By the upper House of Assembly Nov^r the I^st 1722.
Gent.
Had this Bill been to relieve some particular person or
persons that may have been Oppressed by a Misconcepcon
of the Laws for regulating the making of Tobacco we should
readily have concurred with you in concerting proper
Measures to redress them but it being generally to stay all
execucons that have been Awarded against any person or
persons who shall conceive him or themselves Aggrieved by
such Execucon untill heard & Determined by the County
Court, we are of Opinion that it will not only Countenance
loud Clamours where there is no Just Cause for Complaint
but likewise give a handle for Applicacons of the same
nature to future Assemblies and thereby discourage all psons
from putting those Laws in Execucon which if rightly
understood and duly Executed will in all Likelyhood be of
great Service to the Trade of this province and therefore
Can't consent to pass this Bill.
Signed p Order. Sam. Skippon Cl. Up^r Ho.

Thereupon the Bill is Comitted for Amendment.
