Sum of Fourteen hundred Pounds a
Year – Yet it is well known to Your
Excellency, that the same can in no
respect whatever, be charged or
affected by the present Act.

With Respect to the assertion
that his Grace ought not to be included
in an assessment for defraying the
Expence of unauthorized proceedings
against him, Your Memorialists
beg leave to call Your Excellency's
Attention to the true State of those
Transactions from whence it will
beyond Contradiction appear, that
the House of Keys never began
any attack upon, nor any proceedings
against his Grace – They have
uniformly acted upon the Defence
alone – They only resisted when their
Liberties, their properties, and the
Constitution itself were attacked (by
his Grace) and which by their Oaths
as well as their Interest, they were
bound to defend – When in short all that
was dear to them, to their Country, and
to
