406 Assembly Proceedings, May 1-June 12, 1739.

L. H. J.
Lib. No. 45

our paper Money passing in Payment of the 40 l p Poll and officers
fees and according to the Bill for Our Paper Currency as it now
stands the Naval Officers insist upon it that their fees are due in Gold
or Silver how then can I be in any manner Concerned in the Deter-
mination of this point which can be only legally determined by
Course of Law
As to any disputes betwixt the Upper House of Assembly and
your House relating to your Respective Rights & Priviledges I
shall not take upon myself to determine them nor am I well satisfied
that you would be willing that I should do so however this I think
I may promise you that whoever is intrusted with any of the pub-
lick money shall upon the Application of your House be Ordered to
lay their Accounts before you which I hope will deprive them of an
opportunity of committing with Impunity either Frauds Extortions
or Embezzlements altho the Upper House should not think it proper
to allow their members to wait upon you in Person as often as you
shall please to send for them
