L. H. J.
Liber No. 47
November 17

make some short Remarks thereon, and leave them with you, for
your further Consideration, if you think fit, at another Session; and
in the first Place, we desire to know upon what Foundation you have
so positively asserted, that all Fines go to the King for this Reason,
that the Courts of Justice are supported at his Charge, for the Pro-
tection of his People; if you intend thereby to assert that the Courts
of Justice are supported by the Fines to the King, we may venture
to say, you are mistaken; and again, we should be willing to know,
whether you think applying the Fines to the Proprietary is depriv-
ing his Majesty's Subjects of Maryland of the Power of raising
Money, to such. Purposes as may be of General Service to them; as
for the other Parts of your Answer, we shall take no Notice thereof
at present, as the Session has continued already too long, and we are
in hopes is near a Conclusion.
