Whereas, by a Message sent to the Lords, the House of Commons have returned to this House a Bill, intituled, "An Act for taxing and assessing the Lands of the Adventurers within the Great Level of the Fens," together with their agreeing to the Amendments made by this House to the said Bill; the Lords finding that the said Amendments are not entered into the said Bill, according to the Intention of this House and Agreement of the House of Commons, in these Particulars, videlicet, in the 4th Skin, Line 5th, the Words ["to Time,"] inserted more than in the Amendments; in the 23th and 24th Line, the Word ["Richard"] is inserted Twice, instead of Once, before ["Marriott"]; in the 8th Skin, Line 10th, the Word ["non"] is inserted more than is in the Amendments. The Lords do desire, that the House of Commons would give their Lordships a Conference, To-morrow Morning, at Ten of the Clock, in the Painted Chamber, to the End that the said Amendments may be rectified according to the Intentions of both Houses.
