In the last Session of Assembly We returned with a Negative
and Message the Bill entitled. "An Act for Amending the Staple of
Tobacco, for preventing Frauds in his Majestys Customs, and for
the Regulation of Officers Fees." Our Message containing a general
Proposition for Alterations we hoped might produce a Conference,
and thereby facilitate an Agreement between the two Houses, for
passing an Act of so great Utility to the Province —
We were then governed by Precedents, which appear on the
Journals, particularly in the Year 1745, when an Act for the Limita-
tion of Officers Fees which had taken Rise in the Lower House, was
returned from this with a Negative and Message — Upon the Return
of this Bill in the manner mentioned the Lower House proposed a
Conference by Message, and a Bill in Consequence of it was framed
In the Year 1766 when the Journal of Accounts was returned to
your House with a Negative; there was a Similar proceeding. But
this Method having failed of the Effect we wished, and imagining it
might be more agreeable to you that a Conference should be pro-
posed by this House, we this Session retained your Bill, and on our
part made the overture for a Conference according to the Course
