Time after, he the said Samuel Roundell came to this Deponent, and
told him, That the aforesaid Thomas Sansbury had agreed to pay
him for his Goods aforesaid, and, to the best of this Deponent's
Remembrance, requested this Deponent to go with them, the said
Roundell and Sansbury, to see the same settled and adjusted; and
he this Deponent went accordingly, and saw the same settled, very
much to the Satisfaction of the said Roundell, as it appeared to this
Deponent, who then expressed to this Deponent a very grateful Sense
of the Favour which his Excellency had done him in taking care of
his Interest, and desired this Deponent to return his the said Roun-
dell's Thanks to the Governor for the same; and that he this Depo-
nent might enter the Noli Prosequi as soon as he this Deponent
pleased: Soon after which, this Deponent entered the same: and
further saith not.

And the following Message, viz.
By the Upper House of Assembly, April 24, 1756
Gentlemen,
By your Message of Yesterday it seems to us, that there can be
no further Intercourse by Message between the two Houses, since
you are now pleased to tell us in plain and express Terms, That to
justify our own, or blame your Conduct, can tend to nothing but to
promote Controversy, we shall not therefore take the Trouble to do
either, but herewith send you the Bill for granting a Supply of Forty
Thousand Pounds for his Majesty's Service, and striking Thirty-
four Thousand and Fifteen Pounds Six Shillings thereof in Bills of
Credit, and raising a Fund for sinking the same, with a Negative :
in which, although there are some Alterations from the former,
there are few or no Amendments, and the same Objections, for the
most Part, that were made to that Bill, still lie against this, with
another arising in this Bill, from that Clause giving such extraor-
dinary Power to a Committee to settle a Land-Tax at their Discre-
tion, and shall only add, that as we have at least an equal Right to
Judge of, as you to propose, any Bills, we leave our Conduct to be
justified or blamed, as it shall appear.
Signed per Order, J. Ross, Cl. Up. Ho.
