Bahama Papers to the 7th December, contain the
further proceedings of the House of Assembly relative
to the matters so long in dispute with his Majesty's
Ministers. On the 28th of October, the House having
then gone into a Committee on the state of the Co-
lony, came to the following Resolutions :--
“ Resolved—That the House has redeemed the faith of the
country, with the public creditors and others, by the Appro-
priation Bill pitied this day, and also the pledge to his Majesty's
Government concerning the. periodical enumeration of the Slaves
within this Government, by the Slaves' Census Bill of the pre-
sent Session; and in order to prevent all interruption to the
necessary intercourse between this country and his Majesty's
Government, the House did also pass a Bill to continue the
Colonial Agency Att. But the House feels itself utterly in-
competent to proceed further in public business, so long as the
two several bailments of William Wylly, Esq. on the 25th and
47th of January last, by the Justices of the General Court,
when regu!arly committed in execution by a Speaker's warrant
for a breach of the privileges of the late Howse, or either of the
said bailments, remain among the proceedings of the said Court,
a recorded precedent of a novel and unconstitutional pretension
ea the part of the said Justices to discretionary power of control'
over a process issued by the authority of the General Assembly."
It was further resolved, that the said Resolution
should be communicated to the Governor by a mes-
sage, detailing the grievances therein alluded to. On
the 9th of October the House, in a Committee on the
state of the Colony, resolved,

lat. That the fees of the Officers of his Majesty's Customs
in these Islands having been established by the Act of the 45th
of the King, in that case providAl, the late instructions from the
Coe odesioners of his Majesty's Cu►toms under which much
larger fees are demanded and received at the several Custom-
houses In this Colony, are so demanded and received contrary to
law, and are the more oppressive, as it is on the smaller classes of
WWII that this increase of ch.age particularly attaches, neatly
the whole of the shipping of these Islands being of that claw
" 2dly. That it be recommended to the House, so soon mit
may be at liberty to resume the exercise of its legitimate func-
tions, to adopt such measures as may be deemed most expedient
to restore the country in this respect to the government of lap."
The above Resolutions were reported and agreed
to by the House.
