Liber No. 52
Nov. 26

near one Thousand Pounds and some Thousands due on these
Funds, great part of which will undoubtedly be paid into the Office
very soon more than the Forty Thousand Pounds emitted and taken
out of the Office on their Credit and when it appears by Certain Calcu-
lation that the Company of Men could not have required Two Thou-
sand two Hundred Pounds the whole time they were intended to be
Supported your proposal "that the Sums arising from the Ordinary
Licences may be granted to make good any Deficiency there might
be after the Application of the Monies proposed by you to be taken
out and the Bills for Regulating of Ordinary keepers be continued
accordingly" being a Continuation of the Ordinary Licence Regula-
ation in Appearance only and not in Effect we fairly Conclude your
proposals were Calculated to prevent an Application of the Ordinary
Licence money to the Public use.

We have for some time entertained hopes that we Should not any
more be reduced to the Melancholy Alternative of Seeing our fellow
Subjects Inhabiting the Western Frontier fall a Sacrifice to pretended
Rights of Prerogative, but Shou'd the Indian Incursions be Continued
the Shocking Scene we fear, must once more present itself to our
View.
Have not the unsuccessfull attempts heretofore made by your
Honours to prevail on this House at some time to wave at other times
to give up the Peoples undoubted Right to the Application of monies
arising on Ordinary Licences been Sufficient to discourage your Hon-
oures from renewing those Attempts possibly we may be mistaken
and the Application of that money may not be your Objection to that
Bill, if not, you'll please to say so, if it is, you'll please to Shew that
the People have not the Right this House have time out of mind
Contended for, if neither of those are done we are determined not to
proceed to the Framing any other Bill for the Defence of the Western
Frontier. The Utility, nay the Necessity of keeping up a Regulation
of Ordinarys we are Confident you will never dispute, and we cannot
suppose the Term of Seven years for the Continuance of a Regulation
allowed on all Hands to be so usefull and necessary cou'd be any
Objection with your Honours, this being the Case we are totally at a
loss to Conceive what Reasons could induce you to refuse so useful
and Beneficial a Bill unless you be in hopes that a more favourable
Opportunity may ee'r long present itself of getting the Ordinary
Licences Applied to the Support of Government or in other Words
to his Lordships Private use
