The following Message :
By the Lower House of Assembly, October 29, 1753.
May it please your Honours,
This House is willing to concur with all the necessary Amendments
in the Bill herewith sent, but cannot agree that the Lord Proprietary
should have the License Money and Fines thereby arising: As
nothing can conduce more to the Advantage of any Country than
Learning, which lays a Foundation for Virtue and Good Manners
in Youth, and as the Schools already established within this Prov-
ince for that Purpose have not a sufficient Maintainance for suitable
Masters, so we hope you will agree to pass this Bill without insisting
on the Application of the License Money and Fines, as you have
proposed, and that they may go towards the Support of the respec-
tive County Schools, agreeable to this Bill.
Signed per Order, Michael Macnemara, Cl. Lo. Ho.
Sent to the Upper House with the Bill intituled, An Act for Licens-
ing Hawkers, Pedlars, and Petty Chapmen, by Mr. Smallwood, and
Mr. Handy.
