The Upper House. 35

We have in Our former Message of this Day given Our Reasons why
such Increase must be thought prudent and Becoming the Dignity
of both Houses; and as for the pretence of Burthening your Con-
stituents, We cannot Comprehend how the issuing publick money
now remaining in the Paper Currency Office unappropriated and
to be repaid by the Treasurers can be a Burthen upon Your Con-
. stituents
We are so Satisfied of the Reasonableness of what this house
has Expected on this Occasion and against which you have not
Vouchafed one Argument, but what is founded in your mere will and
Pleasure, That We think it more for the Honour of Both houses to
close this Session without passing the Journals than Lavish perhaps
five hundred pounds in a Dispute, which cannot be more than fifty
pounds Consequence to the Country, and therefore if your house will
persist in your positive Negative to Our several Messages on this
head; We hope you will keep the Journal, as it is in your Own house
Signed p^r Order John Ross Cl Up H.
