Arrest for any Debt under some certain Sum to be agreed upon by
the Conferees
That whatever Bounty should be thought proper to be given,
should not be paid before the Time of Imbarkation
That all the Money drawn out of the Office for the Purposes of
such a Bill shall be replaced by One or more moderate Taxes or As-
sesments
On the foregoing Proposals of the Upper House, the Conferees
of the Lower House desire to withdraw to take the Advice of their
House
The Conferees adjourn until to Morrow Morning Nine of the
Clock
Wednesday Morning 21 May
The Conferees met according to Adjournment
The Conferees of the Lower House propose, that no Person shall
by this Act be exempted from Arrest, unless all the Debts he shall
owe at the time of enlisting, shall not exceed the Sum of the Bounty
to be given to Each, and that Provision shall be made, that Publick
notice be given of Each person inlisting to the End that their Cred-
itors may make their Claims appear by a Certain Day, and if such
Claims shall not in the whole exceed the Bounty, then they shall be
discharged therewith, but if the Claims are more, then the Debtor
shall not be entituled to the Bounty, and that after the Day appointed,
no Person having received said Bounty shall be subject to Arrest
for any Debt not claimed or exceeding the Bounty as aforesaid.
That the money shall not be paid to the Party, (in Case of no
Debts or Debts not amounting to the Bounty) until such time after
inlisting as there shall be a Certificate under the hand of the Cap-
tain, or Other Superior Officer produced to the Agent that such
Person is inlisted, and so well secured that there is no Danger of his
deserting
That the Money to be drawn out of the Office, instead of As-
sesments on the People, shall be repaid out of the Current Money
Duties, arising on several Commodities, a'nd heretofore applyed for
defraying the Publick Charge
The Conferees of the Upper House desire to withdraw and
acquaint their House therewith
The Conferees of both Houses agree that the Sum to be raised
should not exceed the sum of 2636 :16 :3 Current Money
