A Message from the Lower House by M^r Tilghman and others
By the Lower House of Assembly 9.^th 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 a
nature some parts may possibly be found liable to Objections, which

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 to long Subsisted
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 waive our Right respecting the Mode of proceeding upon
Money Bills, we therefore hope that your Honours will shew the
same good disposition and that in the Course of your Consideration
of our Bill, any objections to it should occur you will also overlook
the Strickness of Parliamentary forms & point them out to us, & we
assure your Honours they shall have their due Weight
Signed p Order Jn.^o A Thomas Cl. Lo.. Ho.
