"Whereas there was a Bill formerly brought up from the House of Commons, intituled, "An Act for Distribution of Three Score Thousand Pounds amongst the truly loyal and indigent Commissioned Officers; and for assessing of Offices, and distributing the Monies thereby raised for their future Supply;" which Bill their Lordships returned with several Amendments and Alterations; and the said Bill was this Day again returned, by a Message from the House of Commons to the Lords, expressing, That the said House doth agree to some of the Amendments made by the Lords; to others, they did not agree: And also signified, that their House had made some other new Amendments, to which they desired their Lordships Concurrence. This their Lordships observing to be against the Course of Parliament, that such Transactions should be returned by Message, which ought to have been by Conference, whereby Reasons might have been given for their Dissent from their Lordships; the Lords, in Consideration thereof, have returned the said Bill, as it was this Day delivered at the Bar, to the End the due Course of Parliament in the transacting of Things of this Nature may be observed."
