The Upper House. 119

By the Lower House of Assembly 16^th August 1737

May it please your Honours
This house is of Opinion that it will be of Service to the Countrey
to pay the publick charge of this Province whch will be due at the end
of this Session out of the Bills of Credit remaining in the Office
because it will not only prevent any Delay in Paym^t to the Prejudice
of such persons as are in immediate Want but also because it will tend
to a different Circulation of the said Bills of Credit And thereby
render them the more useful to all the Inhabitants of this Province
who are by the Laws thereof Obliged to provide a Sufficient fund
to sink the said Bills of Credit and therefore desire your Honours
Concurrence in having such payment made out of the Bills of Credit
now in the Office accordingly.
