imagine, settled the point I coeteod for, any more

should be sorry to fiod there can be a wrong without

missiosers of his kt 'jetty's 'rotatory to modiste the
Fetes of the Customs; and an /act, establishing al
Docket of Fees, not only for the Casino-house, bet
for the other public offices, was passed by the Isle

gislsfore of Barhadoes have also lately had the tune

bitants of this Colony, by the Lords Commissioners
of his Majesty's Treasury, is illegal, and oeght to be
resisted,
" Resolved, That the Committee of Correspond•
once be itto.tructeddlo direct the agent to remonstrate
with promptitude nod firmness against ti.ete orders :
that this House nill nreer recognise any authority
in the !mods Commissioners of his Majesty's Ties•
tory to raise any sum or sums of money, *heftier in
the nature of fees or otherwise, from the inhabitants
of this Colony.
" Resolved, That the Orders of the Loris Com.

tails fees are sought to be established for the regnant•
ration of the Officers of the Customs, ere in otters

and without the consent of their Representatives in
