The following Message is sent to the Lower [House] by Col
Gale
By the Upper House of Assembly 8 June 1739
Gentlemen
As We perceive by your Message of the 7th Instant that by the
little Business now before Your House a Conclusion of Our Present-
sitting is near; We cannot consistently with the Care We ought
to have for the Honour and Safety of this One of his Majestys Prov-
inces, and the tender Regard We sincerely have for the Happiness
and Ease of the People, delay any longer mentioning to you, that
We do not find amongst the several ingrossed and Paper Bills now
lying upon Our Table, any Bills reviving the Act Entituled An Act
for raising three Pence p hhd on all Tobacco to be exported for pur-
chasing Arms and Ammunition for the Defence of this Province;
the Act Entituled An Act for the Tryal of all Matters of fact in the
Counties where they have arisen or shall arise, nor the Act Entituled
an Act concerning Ordinaries and for the better regulating of Inn-
holders and Ordinary Keepers within this Province
The first nearly concerns the Honour and Preservation of this
Part of his Majestys Dominions especially at this time of Uncertainty
whether there will be War or Peace in Europe; the other Two ( We
are sufficiently convinced) are greatly desired and almost Univer-
sally thought by the Inhabitants of this Province as proper and even
necessary for their Ease Benefit and Happiness: By these Considera-
tions We are obliged to acquaint you very plainly, that We shall
as a Council of State advise his Excellency not to pass any Bill into
|
