The Lower House. 269

Your Committee observe, that the Payments made by the said
Hall amounted to six Shillings and five Pence more than he was
really and, bona Fide, indebted for Rents of the said two Parcels of
Land, to September, 1747; and that making such, and the said last
Distress of the Horse aforesaid, was against common Reason, as
well as common Right, and the Laws of the Land; and that such
Actings and Doings tend to the Ruin of his Majesty's loving Sub-
jects the good People of Maryland, and greatly alienate their Minds
and Affections from his Lordship's Rule and Government: But is
humbly submitted to the Consideration of your Honourable House.
Signed per Order, William Wilkins, Clerk.
