The House adjourns for One Hour.
Post-Meridiem. The House met according to Adjournment.
The following Message,
By the Upper [Lower] (sic) House of Assembly 9th April 1762.
May it please your Honours,

To answer the Royal Expectations, communicated to us by his
Excellency the Governor at the Opening of this Session, we have
framed and passed the Bill which goes to your Honours with this
Message: We have formed it upon such a Plan, as to us seems
most suitable to the Circumstances of our Constituents, and in such
a Manner as we conceive the best adapted to the Nature of the
Plan; but as in a new System of such a Length, and of an intricate
Nature, some Parts may possibly be found liable to Objections,
wihch may have escaped us, and as we, out of a sincere Regard for
his Majesty's Service, and an earnest Desire to effect a Termination
of that Difference of Sentiment, which has unhappily too long sub-
sisted between the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, with
respect to the Point of raising Supplies for the Service of the Crown,
are willing to depart from a strict parliamentary Course, and for
the present to wave our Right respecting the Mode of Proceeding
upon Money Bills, we therefore hope that your Honours will shew
the same good Disposition; and that if in the Course of your Con-
sideration of our Bill, any Objections to it should occur, you will also
overlook the Strictness of Parliamentary Forms, and point them out
to us, and we assure your Honours they shall have their due Weight.
Signed p Order, J. A. Thomas, Cl. Lo. Ho.
