Who chose Philemon Lloyd Esq^r Chairman

The Conferees in Obedience to the direction of both houses of
Assembly having taken into Consideration the difficulty attending
the Distribution of money to be received by the Sheriffs in Lieu of
Tobacco, to the People who shall have Right to receive the same,
conceive that if the money Payments are to Continue, that it is abso-
lutely necessary to prevent breaking hogsheads & to oblige the Sher-
iffs to pay what money they shall receive in a just Proportion to
those to whose Use they receive it. But how to make such a Pro-
vision as will prevent Partiality in the Distribution, Wee Conceive
to be attended with very great (if not insuperable) Difficulties, and
therefore We submit it to the Consideration of both houses whether
it would not avoid all Inconveniences & be more just & equal to re-
peal that part of the Tobacco Law which relates to money Payments
and to enable the People to pay three fourths of such Tobacco debts
as are subject to a deduction by the s^d Act in specie in Lieu of the
whole
