The following Message being prepared is sent to the lower house

by Philemon Lloyd Esq^r & Col Tilghman

By the Upper house of Assembly 7th August 1732
Gentlemen
This house having considered your Message by M^r Ward & M^r
Blackiston in Relation to Amendments proposed to the Paper Cur-
rency bill do Agree that the Provisoe to be Added thereto be
restrained to rents of all kinds & to Alineation fines due to his Lord-
ship, but that all fines and forfeitures for breach of the Peace or any
penal Laws be Discharged in bills of Credit

p. 239

But as to the other Amendments relating to the Governors Nom-
ination of Comm^rs & the time of puting this Act in Execution, this
House does not think it proper to recede therefrom for the reasons
following, First, because An Act of the same Nature & Import with
this passed both Houses last Session of Assembly, in which the Gov-
ernor or the president for the time being are allowed the Nomination
of the Comm^rs, and therefore We are of opinion that the Gov^r will
very Justly think himselfe Slighted by such a Discrimination made in
Twelve Months time; and may therefore refuse his Assent to the
Act, and more Especially seeing that His Excellency hath Con-
ceded in every thing of Importance that hath been proposed at this
Session .
Secondly that the Governor (as we are convinced from a Royal
Instruction from the late King George) will not think it consistent
with his Duty to his Majestic nor the Lord Prop^ry that an Act should
be passed here in the face of a positive Instruction without such
Restriction as may Give his Lordship an Oppertunity of Informing
himselfe of his Majesties Royal pleasure therein.
For which reasons this house proposeth that both Houses joyn in
Address to his Lordship Intreating his best Endeavours for obtaining
his Majesties Royal approbation of an Act which we conceive to be
of very great use and Mutual Advantage both to the Lord Pro-
prietary himselfe & the People of this Province in which we are very
well Assured the Gov^r will Contribute his good Offices for affecting
the same
