Upon Reading the Message of Yesterday from the Lower
House by Col^o Mackal and five others, the following Answer
is prepared thereto (viz.)

By the Upper House of Assembly 8^br the 22^d 1723.

Gentlemen.
We have Read and Considered Your Message of the 2 I^st
Instant by Col^o Mackal and five others, and are of opinion
that if a Law or Just & Reasonable Custom wou'd induce you
to Consent to our allowances, we should have no occasion to
Dispute with your House about them; for we have hitherto
been sufficiently provided for by those means, as we have
observed to you in Our former Messages Although your
House seems to Resolve not to Regard them and Could you
have given us any Reason of Weight to Avoid Our Claims,
