that four thousand pounds Sterling is not such an Equivalent as
ought to be offered to his Lordship on those Accounts

to the Bill Entituled a Supplementary Act to the Act Entituled an

we conceive that a short Bill contain^g the parts which Your Hon-
ours agree to will fully answer the Intention of both houses and be
better than to have the Amendm^t made in the former Bill, and there-
fore We now send your Honours such a short Bill past by this house
together with the former Bill that you may have an Opportunity oi
seeing whether the present Bill be agreeable to the Amendments you
proposed in the former
