178 Assembly Proceedings, April 4-17, 1759.

L. H. J.
Liber No. 51
April 11

Account whatever, adopt any of the various Methods by which
Supplies have been heretofore raised in this Province, nor propose"
( for we must here take the Freedom to assure your Excellency we
shall not receive any that may be proposed by any other Branch)
"any Supply-Bill, unless it be exactly on the same Plan with those,
or rather that," as you are pleased to say "which the Gentlemen of
the Upper House have four Times refused to pass, for many
Reasons that have been signified to us ;" and which, permit us, Sir,
to say, have their full Answers in the Proceedings of the Lower
House of Assembly.
However, we have thought proper that a Copy of all the Resolves
of the House this Session, relating to his Majesty's Service, and the
Defence and Security of this Province, should herewith be laid
before your Excellency, in order that his Majesty's General may
see, that nothing has been, and may be induced to entertain an
Opinion, that nothing will be, wanting in us for promoting the
general Service, which we can do consistent with the Duty we owe
to those we Represent.
