The Lower House. 643

with the Amendments proposed by us, the Propriety whereof we are
too well convinced of to recede from; and if you think the Bill to be
Beneficial to the Province, and are really unwilling to lose it, we now
put it in your Power to Pass it for Ingrossing.

A Recovery, in a summary Way, before one Justice of the Peace,
of the Penalty of £5, may perhaps induce Persons to inform, but it
may also introduce much Partiality and Oppression; and we think
there ought to be great Caution in vesting a single Justice of the
Peace, out of Court, from whose Decision there would be no Appeal,
with the Power of Determining in a summary Way.
Signed p Order, J. Ross, Cl. Up. Ho.
