by Col :o Hammond.
By the Upper Hosue of Assembly 19 :th April 1756.
Gentlemen
As the Bill for His Majestys Service must be acknowledged to
be of great Importance in the Common Cause against our Enemys
and to this Province in particular We are much concerned that the
method we have taken to Communicate our Sentiments to you
thereon should not be agreeable to you and more so when we are
Suspected of being Capable of Endeavouring to draw you into
Measures Contrary to the Established Rules of your House and
destructive of the Rights Liberties and Priviledges of it by con-
tinuing to Start new Objections and raising in our demands on you
as we find you give way to the removal of those already made
untill we had new formed your Bill a Suspicion so unworthy that
as we are Conscious of the Injustice of it so we think it not deserving
of any further Notice and therefore Gentlemen as we have neither
Leasure nor Inclination to Enter into Controveries with you which
can produce no good Effect towards the End of our being called
here and having made what Objections we have to your Bill and
such as we apprehend must clearly obviate the imperfections of it it
many parts to which you seem Determined to give us no Answer
because we have not been so fortunate as to make use of the word
all we conceive nothing remains for us to do now but to be quite
Regular and Parliamentary in our proceedings and to Return your
Bill with a Negative taking it for Granted that our objections made
to it and not removed or attempted in any Sort to be removed will
