the last Public Levy, but cannot agree to allow any Thing heretofore
denied by our House; and if your Honours agree to what we herein
propose, desire that you'll let the Claims of the several Members be

" By the Upper House of Assembly, May 5, 1736.
Gentlemen,
Nothing can give this House greater Pleasure than any Endeavour
for, and Appearance of, Harmony and good Agreement between the
Two Houses; in this Light we received your Message of this Day,
by Mcssicuis Hooper and Ward, which convince us of your reai
Intention of serving the Country, without burthening it with large
Charges by unnecessary Disputes; as, on the other Hand, we have
the greatest Satisfaction in being assured, that the Claims of the
Councillors of State will not meet with any Opposition hereafter;
so, on the other Hand, we do assure you, Gentlemen, of no less Joy
on our Part, that we shall not Charge the Country with any Claims,
since the Time of laying the last Public Levy, to this Session.
Signed per Order, J. Ross, Cl. Up. Ho."

" By the Lower House of Assembly, May 5, 1736.
May it please your Honours,
This Message sent to your Honours from this House, by Col.
Hooper and Col. Ward, could not possibly be more agreeable to
you, than your Answer to it, is to this House, and as the putting so
happy an End to all Disputes concerning the Councillors Allow-
ance, as is proposed in your last Message, must contribute to keep
up that Harmony between the Two Houses, which is absolutely
necessary to dispatch the Public Business, so it cannot but be very
advantageous to the People, as it will certainly prevent the Charge
which would unavoidably attend unnecessary Disputes; and there-
fore, this House concurs with what your Honours propose, and we
now send the Journals, desiring your Concurrence thereto.
Signed per Order, M. Macnemara, Cl. Lo. Ho."
Upon Consideration of which, and the solemn Assurance given
by the then Lower House in their Messages, we hope you will not at
this Time renew a Debate on a Point so settled; but for the Ease
of the People, and the Public Creditors, who must otherwise be very
great Sufferers, agree to our Amendments, and pass the Journal
accordingly.
Signed per Order, J. Ross, Cl. Up. Ho.
And the Journal of Accounts.
On reading the Message of this Day, by Richard Lee, Esq; the
Question was put, Whether the Consideration of the Journal be
referred to next Assembly, or Not ? Resolved in the Negative.
