Gentlemen
Upon reading the Bill for regulateing of Officers ffees
herewith sent we are of Opinion that instead of these words
(25^th of December next) in the 2^d line of the first paragraph
these words (the end of this present Sessions of Assembly)
be incerted; amongst the Comissarys fees at the End of the
7^th line the word (Tobacco) to be likewise incerted Amongst
the ffees to the Cryer of the County Courts and Court of As-
size, we find for good behaviour 27^th Tobacco which before
was six^l of Tobacco only and the ffees of the Cryer of Assize

p. 26

not on Execution In the third line of the 11^th page the word
(Lordship) instead of (Majesty) we think to be more proper
the Navall Officer being imediately under his Lordship; and
we recomend the following Provisoe to be added to the Bill,
viz. Provided this Act nor any thing therein Contained shall
Extend or be Construed to Extend to deprive his Lordships
Secretary of his right or claim to the ffee or ffees usually here-
tofore taken for granting Special Warrants or any other
matter or thing thereto relateing with which amendments
