308 Assembly Proceedings, Sept. 21-Oct. 29, 1742.

Duties arising upon Exportation of every hogshead of Tobacco,
from which a Calculation may be readily made of the Amount of
that Duty of Twelve pence, nor can I see what use It can be to know
the Amount of that or any other Duty, since the Quantum cannot
possibly determine the Right to It.
I shall take Care faithfully to transmit Your Address to the Lord
Proprietary, and shall think myself extreamly happy if I can be in-
strumental in promoting any thing that may be agreeable to the
People of this Province
