Collo Mackall and Mr Tyler from the Lower House acquaint

and says he delivered his Message.
The Speaker and the whole House attend Accordingly and
his Honour was pleased to Open the Session with the follow-
ing Speech Viz.

Gentlemen of the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly.


Since our Last Session the Brittish Parliament Has taken
our Staple into their Consideration and because Quantities of
Trashy Tobacco have been sent home (notwithstanding our
Law) the burning of wch put the Crown to a vast Expence
Contrary to the intent of that Act made at Home in our
Favour, That Act is now repealed. This ought to awaken
every one for their own Interest to Endeavour to mend the
Quality, and send home none but Clean Tobacco, and tho this
may in some measure lessen the number of Hogsheads, yet
the Goodness will make ample amends to the Planter and
nobody will be a Loser but the Ld Proprietor, notwithstanding
wch his Ldp out of a Fatherly Tenderness for the Country
having their Good at Heart before his own Private Interest,
has Commanded me to pass his Revenue Bill upon the same
Foot it was for three years Longer.
