Benedict Calvert, Esq; from the Upper House, delivers to Mr.
Speaker, the following Message, viz.^t
By the Upper House of Assembly, May 4, 1758.

Gentlemen,
We sent you a Bill the 19th of last Month, Reducing the Allowances
of the Members of the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, of
which you have not been pleased to take the least Notice to us; but
on the second Instant, you sent us a Bill, entituled, An Act for Re-
ducing the Allowances of the Councillors, Deputies and Delegates,
that shall serve in the General Assembly, the Judges of the Court
of Appeals, and the Commissioners of the Provincial and County
Courts of this Province, for ascertaining the Allowances of the Clerks
and other Officers of both Houses of Assembly, and securing the
Independency of the said Deputies and Delegates, and other Purposes
therein mentioned.
As we apprehend that the Bill sent from us ought first to be con-
sidered, and the Method you have pursued is inconsistent with all
Rules of Proceeding, we have Rejected your Bill upon a View of
the Title of it, and hope that you will not adhere to a Mode of Pro-
ceeding, which can't but defeat the End we proposed, of Easing the
good People of this Province.
Signed p Order, J. Ross, Cl. Up. Ho.
And the Bill, entituled, An Act for Reducing the Allowances of
the Councillors, Deputies and Delegates, &c. which had been sent
from this House to the Upper House.

On Motion, the Question was put, That Joshua Hall be allowed in
the Journal of Accounts for a Servant named John Gale, valued, as p
Certificate from the Justices of Baltimore County Court, to the Sum
of £66. Resolved in the Negative.
