thought it expedient to convene you at this Time to advise with

raising a Supply to defray the Publick Charge of this present
Year, which we are persuaded will not be very great and also
to lay before you several Letters his late Excellency not long

Commrs of Trade and foreign Plantations and especially in
Relation to the Ordinary Licenses which Sir Thomas Lawrence
Barrt her Majesty's Secretary of this Province complains you
have unjustly taken from him besides other Fees of the Pro-
vincial Court. Gentlemen we desire you will once more either
assert your Reasons for diverting the Fees of those Licenses
from the Secretary or otherwise reannex them to his Office
that we may not give him any just Occasion of Complaint to
her Most Sacred Majesty, and the Right Honourable the Lords
of the Cor of Trade and foreign Plantations who have been so
often importuned by him. As to all other Matters which may
be thought advisable to be concerted this present Session we
shall readily join with the House in expediting them for the
Service of our Queen and Country Which being done Mr
Speaker and the Members returned to their House, and a
Copy of the Speech being sent to the House was here read
and Ordered That Mr Thomas Smithson and Mr Geo. Gale,
prepare an Answer thereto to be laid before the House to
Morrow for Approbation.
