by Col.^o Tilghman and Cap.^t Jordan
By the Lower House of Assembly, July 5, 1755.
May it please your Honours,
In Answer to your Message, with the Bill for granting a further
Supply towards his Majesty's Service, we carefully revised the
said Bill, and although we find, from as exact and moderate a Cal-
culation as we can make, that the Duties, Imposts and Fines, in that
Bill mentioned, duly collected, will, before the Expiration of the
Paper Currency Act, bring in the Sum of Three Thousand Pounds,
over and above the Sums now due, and the Sum of £5000 by this
Bill proposed to be granted for his Majesty's Service; and although

we are satisfied, that the Right of granting Supplies, and forming
Money Bills, is solely in us, yet, to avoid any Doubt or Scruple, we
have added Duties on Melasses, and Sugars, to be imported: And
as we find, upon the most serious Consideration of the said Bill,
that the Money arising on Ordinary-Licences, by a Clause in the
said Bill, continuing the several Clauses mentioned and contained in
an Act, made at a Session of Assembly the I7th Day of July, 1754,
relating to the several Duties, Licence Money, Fines and Forfeitures,
therein mentioned, and also the several Parts of the Act of Assembly
in that Act mentioned, are clearly, strongly, and plainly appropriated
and applied; we hope your Honours will pass this Bill, that our
zealous Intentions and Endeavours for his Majesty's Service, may
not be frustrated.
Signed per Order, M. Macnemara, Cl. Lo. Ho.
