190 Assembly Proceedings, November 1-December 20, 1765.

L. H. J.
Liber No. 52
Nov. 29

and great Conococheague Creeks being obstructed was because we
thought that private Property acquired or improved under the General
Credit and Faith of Our Laws ought not to be affected by a Subse-
quent Act, who or whe.^r any pson might be affected by the Act
were it to pass according to its Original Frame we did not enquire
for if none would be affected that part of the Bill we proposed to

p. 298

amend would be improper for Want of an Object and if any would
be affected it would be productive of an Effect not consistent with
either policy or Justice
Upon reconsidering the Matter and perusal of your Message no
Reason occurs to us to induce an Alteration of the Opinion we
formed upon the Reasons we have explained nor do we perceive on
this Occasion a Competition of Interests in which a Regard to the
Welfare of the Public ought to be preferred to that of a single
person or why it would not be more equitable to provide for the
General Convenience at the General Expence than by an Injury to
private property gained or rendred more valuable under the Faith &
Credit of existing Laws
Signed by Order UScott Cl Up. Ho
