The following Message Vizt
By the Lower House of Assembly, Novr 25, 1763
May it please your Honours.
In Answer to your Message of the 23,o accompanying the Journal
it gives us much concern that your Honours shoud refuse a Bill for
the Speedy payment of such of the Publick Creditors as we have
thought ought not to be left to the Uncertainty of the passage of a
Journal, but we cannot allow that from thence arises any Necessity
of their Claims being inserted therein, and indeed it would be mis-
pending time now to do it, or to return the Journal to your Honours,
as you say the Allowance to the Clerk of the Council which we have
not disregarded, but have Unanimously this Session refused to make,
is a point your House will ever insist on, why you Shou'd be Appre-
hensive that because we have not made the Clerk of the Council the
usual allowance, some other just Claims have been disregarded, we
are at a Loss to imagine, But as no doubt you had some foundation
for your Apprehensions, we wonder you did not Search and point
out those just Claims you might find disregarded, we do assure
your Honours, all such shoud have been readily added.

Your Honours Cannot be ignorant, that the Lower House refused
to make the Clerks of the Council the usual Allowance at ffebruary
Session 1756 and made one to Mr Ross in Consideration of Publick
Services he might have performed by Vertue of the Laws of this
Province; and then by a Message informed your Honours that they
had Resolved that for the future no such allowance Should be made,
but that upon a particular account laid before the Lower House
by Mr Ross for Publick Services by him done for this Province, they
would allow what should appear Reasonable
