A Message from the Lower House by M^r Dashiel and
Goldsborough as follows viz.

By the Lower House of Assembly November the 1^st 1725
May it please your Hon^rs

We thought it not improper for the Conferrees to be ap-
pointed to have Communicated the Sense of each House,
either to other, concerning the Subject of the Address pro-
posed; but since for reasons we cannot guess at, you decline
this method it is the Subject of our late Address to his
Majesty and the great Damage we Suffer by Importation of
Convicts, which we propose to be Considered of; and such
other matters as may occurr to the Conferrees which they
may think proper to referr to both Houses

Signed p Order M. Jenifer Cl. Lo: Ho.

By the Lower House of Assembly Nov^r the 1^st 1725

May it please Your Honours
Upon Considering the Bill for Relieving the Inhabitants
from some Aggrievances &c^a We find the Terms of it so Gen-
erall that it is doubtfull whether some Persons may not un-
justly suffer by it and therefore desire Your Hon^rs will
Consent to the Adding a Clause in the Engrost bill to Except
traders and such other persons as in Equity ought to be pro-
vided for out of it.
Signed p order M. Jenifer Cl. Lo. Ho.
