U. H. J.

have altered the form of the Oath sent us and formed it in such
Manner as that it might respect the Laws of England hereafter to
be made as well as those now in force and humbly hope the Law made
this Session of Assembly for that purpose may be Agreeable.

There hath for many Years been Laws to Ascertain the Fees of
Attorneys and such till lately were found ineffectual for under pre-
tence of Selling their Tobacco fees to their Clyents they had Oppor-
tunity of taking very large sums of money We therefore have Passed
a Bill to Regulate their fees, And have therein as the only Expedient
we could fall upon to prevent Extortion Obliged the Clyents to take
an Oath to pay no other fees than that Act allows and have setled
many of them larger than they were in any Regulation heretofore
made by Act of Assembly tho there has never been any Complaints
made against the former till lately And as the People are very desire-
ous of such An Act and have received benefit by the late Law We
hope the present Law will appear Just and reasonable to Your
Lordship
We humbly referr the Consideration of this Our Address to Your
Lordship and desire Your Lordship will be pleased to Approve of the
Acts herein mentioned and all Others passed this Sessions of
Assembly
We are May it Please Your Lordship Your Lordships most Faith-
ful Tenants and Most Obed' humble Servants
Signed by the Members of both Houses.
