No. 734

Limitation of them as the best and only Expedient to remove all
Causes of Complaint and to satisfy all Parties, which Bill Your
Honours have not thought fit to pass.
We can't imagine your not passing the said Bill could have pro-
ceeded from any Inclination in Your Honours not to joyn your
Endeavours with Ours to render the People easy and to remove
every Obstacle to their Happiness

This being the Opinion We have of Your Honours, We appre-
hend that your refusing to concur with this House in the said Bill
was occasioned by some weighty Objections, which you thought you
had to some Parts of it: If we judge right of your Honours Motives,
We still entertain Hopes that either your Objections may be obviated
or such Expedients found out as may remove all Difficulties to
settle the Fees upon such Foundation as will be certain and satis-
factory, as well to the People who pay, as the Officers who shall be
entituled to receive them
To this End we propose a Conference with such Members of Your
House as you shall think fit to appoint for that Purpose
Signed p Order M Macnemara Cl Lo H.
