May it please Your Honours
Notwithstanding you are pleased in Your Message of this Day by
Coll Hammond to recommend again to Our Serious Consideration
an encrease of the sum proposed in the Journal as a Gratuity to Coll :
Gale; We see no reason for Advancing the same, the Sum of £50
as entered in the Journal having been after great Deliberation
thought the most proper to shew Our Regard to the Chief Justice, as
well as Caution not to Lavish away the Properties of Our Con-
stituents, and is the Largest We can with any Justice permit them to
be burthened with upon the Occasion, and therefore again send up
the Journal in Order for its passing that a Speedy Conclusion may
be had to the Session
Signed p^r Order M Macnemara Cl L^o H.

Gentlemen
We are greatly Surprized at the Insinuation in Your Message of
this Day by Col King and four Others, that the Increase which this
house has Proposed to be made to the Allowance intended to the
Chief Justice of the Provincial Court can in any Sense be said to be
Lavishing away or Burthening the Properties of Your Constituents ;
