Collo Ward from the Upper House delivers Mr Speaker
the following Message viz:
By the Upper House of Assembly
Octor the 27th 1725
Gentlemen.
We agree with Your Message of the 25th Instant by Collo
Mackall and Collo Tho: Truman Greenfield, Relating to the
Report of the Conf errees, only think it needf ull that provision
be made in the Bill to Restrain any person or persons as
Chamber Councill or Councellors from taking or Exacting
any fee or fees in money or otherwise other than such fee
or fees as the wisdom of the Legislature shall think meet to
allow them for if such Liberty be given to such Chamber
Councellors we Concieve the good Intent of the Bill for
Regulating Attorneys' fees will be found Ineffectuall and
further we Concieve it necessary that Care be taken in the
Bill that Attorneys Councellors &ca May be prevented from
taking Money from their Clients under pretence of Selling
the Tobo they are by Law Entituled to, and we likewise deem
it Reasonable to allow Every Attorney Rideing the Circuit
