354 Assembly Proceedings, July 10-August 8, 1729.

U. H. J.

Messages of July 26^th & 30^th (in all which Amendments & Conces-
sions you seem to have concurred with us) should be laid asleep as
it were in your House, & another Bill sent up with your Message
by M^r Beale & M^r George proposing (for the sake of Dispatch) the
same Amendments to be made to former Acts of Assembly, which
have not in any manner been negotiated in Either of the Two houses
during this Session: Which Proceeding of yours, in our Opinion
is very unparliamentary; & therefore upon the Question put, We
have resolved that the Add^l & Supplementary Act, to the sev^l Acts

p. 51

for the Adminisⁿ of Justice in Testamentary Affairs, be not received
by this house, & have therefore herewith returned it to you, lest
the pressing on a Conclusion to this present Session, by such un-
presidented Practice, might hereafter be of mischievous Conse-
quences in Legislation and seeing that your house, for anything
that appears in the s^d Message have concurred with us in all the
Amendments, & Alterations made to the said bill, We therefore
insist that the Bill for the better Administration of Justice, with
the Amendments as they now stand, if you have entirely agreed
with us thereon may pass your house
Signed p Order John Ross Cl. Up. Ho.
