The Lower House. 585

Wee also think that the Navall officers will scarce gett a
Copie of this long law under 200ll Tobo wee are also of opinion
that your House was mistaken as to that part of a paragraph
of the Lord Proprys letter Communicated to you relateing to
the payments of the rents and alienation fines, wherefore wee
again propose it to you that a Clause be putt into this Bill
obligeing the several tenants to make speedy payment of
their arrearages of rent and alienation fines due from the time
of the death of Charles Lord Baron of Baltemore deced untill
the Commencement of this Act and as the most Effectuall
means thereof It is proposed that it be done by way of
Execution.

Whereupon the following Endorsment was made on the said
Bill in answer thereto and ordered to be entred thus (Viz)

By the Lower house of Assembly
Augt 7th 1716
May it please yr Honrs

L. H.J.

Your Endorsement of this day on this Bill by Phil Lloyd
Esqr being read this house rather than give any greater Sallary
than two and a half p Cent to the Treasurer who runs no
manner of Risque and undergoes little or no trouble in nego-
tiateing that money Chuses to lett the same be under the
negotiation of the Navall officers who receive it to be by them
Remitted into the hands of Cap^t Hyde at the Countreys Risque
and are desirous in case any more than two and a half p Cent
be required the clause relateing to the payment to the Treas-
urer should be wholly left out.
The House is further of opinion that the allowance of 100ll
Tobo is sufficient to procure a Copy of the law and as to that
part of it relateing to our Mistake in the paragraph of part of
his Lordships and the Lord Guilfords letter this house cannot
agree to putt those rents on Execution being a thing never
heretofore used or desired by the Right Honble the Lord
Propry's ancestors and the rents being Inherent to the Land
are other wise well secured.
Signed p order Tho: Macnemara Cl: Lo: Ho:
