A Message from the Lower house by Doctor Carroll and five
Others with the Bill entituled an Act for his Majestys Service
By the Lower house of Assembly 7 March 1754
May it please your Honours
We have considered the Amendments proposed by Your Honours
the Bill Entituled an Act for his Majestys Service and cannot agree
to them but as we are Sensible of how great Importance it is at this
Juncture to Cultivate a Strict freindship and Alliance with the Six
Nations of Indians by making them Suitable Presents, and are fully
persuaded that the ways and Means fallen upon to Replace the Money
taken out of the Loan Office for that Purpose are just & Reasonable
and least burthersome to our Constituents we have thought proper
to return that Bill in hopes your Honours will pass it as it now
Stands: and this we have Reason to expect when we consider that
last Sessions your honours would have consented to a Bill for Licens-
ing Hawkers & Pedlars in the Terms of the present Bill relating
thereto had the License Money and Fines and Forfeitures been appro-
priated to the Lord Proprietary, and how reasonable it may be now
to reject that part because the License Money Fines and Forfeitures
are appropriated towards the replacement of a Sum of Money raised
for his Majestys Service we Submit to your Honours Serious
Consideration.

As the great arrears on the Ordinary Licenses cannot be Satisfied
in Several years it is apparently necessary that other Expedients
should be fallen upon in aid of that Act for this purpose the part of
the Bill now proposed by your honours to be left out, was inserted
and as it is in itself useful and Beneficial to the Country, and has
appeared in that light to your Honours we cannot conceive what
reasonable objection can now be made to it, We have the present
Service much at heart and cannot doubt your Honours are equally
Sollicitous about it therefore Rest assured of your Concurrence to
a Bill so plainly calculated for the Service of his Majesty and the
Ease and Benefits of the People of this Province
Signed p Order M Macnemara Cl Lo H.
