On Motion, Ordered, That Col. Tilghman, Mr. Matthew Tilgh-
man, Mr. Carroll, Mr. Murdock, and Mr. Hanson, do prepare and
bring in a Bill, For Raising a Sum of Money necessary for defraying
the Expence of Raising Men for his Majesty's Service, and other
Purposes ;
Ordered, That Mr. Earle, Mr. Gassaway, and Mr. Hanson, be a
Committee to make an Estimate of the particular Sums necessary to
be raised for answering the Purposes of the Resolves of this House,
this Day made, relative to his Majesty's Service, and other Purposes.
The following Message, viz.
By the Lower House of Assembly, 4th October, 1760.
May it please your Honours,
We have considered the Amendments proposed by your Honours
to the Bill, for Easing the Inhabitants of this Province, from the
great and unequal Burthen of the additional Land-Tax, sent down
by the Honourable Stephen Bordley, Esq ;
|
|
|
|
p. 303
|
To the first we agree; to the second, and to the last Amendment
but one, by which you leave out the Clauses relating to the Payment
of Silver and Gold, we cannot agree, because the giving the Alterna-
tive to the People concerned in the Payment of the several Taxes and
Duties under this Bill, must be an Ease and Advantage to many, as
by that Means they will not be in the Power of the Collectors, or
others, who might be inclined to take Advantage of their Necessities,
and as we know of no ill Consequence that could follow, from giving
such a Liberty, we think they ought to have it.
