General Assembly the Judges of the Court of Appeals, and the Com-
missioners of the Provincial and County Courts of this Province,
for ascertaining the Allowances of the Clerks and other Officers
of both Houses of Assembly, and securing the Independency of the
said Deputies and Delegates, and other Purposes therein mentioned.
We did not think proper to lay by our Bill which you may see
by the Title was so much better calculated for the good Purposes
intended to make Way for yours', and therefore sent it up to your
Honours; but we think ourselves obliged now in Order to put a
Stop to your sending down to this House any more Bills relative to
the imposing or altering Taxes, to let you know that if any such
shall hereafter be sent to us they shall be rejected upon a View of the
Title, as it is the undoubted Right of this House that all Bills relative
to Taxes should take their Rise here.
Signed p. Order M Macnemara Cl. Lo. Ho.
The several Paper Bills the Originals of which have passed both
Houses this Session are sent to the Lower House by Col : Henry
Adjourned 'till to Morrow Morning 10. o' Clock

This House met again according to Adjournment
Present as in the Morning
His Excellency is pleased to send to this House the following
Message.
Gentlemen of the Upper House of Assembly.
Inclosed is a Copy of a Message that I sent to the Gentlemen of
the Lower House yesterday in the Afternoon upon their sending
two Members to tell me that the Lower House had no Business
before them, also an Address which the Gentlemen of the Lower
House were just now pleased to present to me by way of Answer
to the Message abovementioned, I submit them both to your Con-
sideration entertaining the most sanguine Hopes that you will not
hesitate or delay to take such Measures as you may judge expedient
or necessary to bring about the Passage of a Supply Bill at this
critical Juncture and that I shall not find myself under a Necessity
of putting an End to this Session before we have complied with
