Conference reported.
And the Earl of Bridgewater reported, "That they
had attended the Conference; and received the Commons Reasons for disagreeing with their Lordships in
their Amendments made to the Bill."
Which Reasons were read, as follow; (videlicet,)
"The Commons cannot agree to your Lordships
Amendment in the 26th Line of the First Skin:
Because, by the Act of the 25th of Charles the
Second, and the Act of 1° Will'i et Mariæ, for
the Encouragement of the Greenland Trade,
it is provided, that neither Oil, Blubber, nor
Fins, shall pay any Custom; and this Act being for the further Encouragement of the
said Trade, the Commons do think the Company ought to have as much or more Encouragement now than ever, by reason of the
great Losses they have sustained, and the Difficulties they now labour under by reason of
the War; and without such Encouragement,
the Commons apprehend, this beneficial Trade
will be entirely lost.
The Commons cannot agree to your Lordships
Amendment in the 14th Line of the Second Skin,
for the Reasons aforesaid."
Then the House, upon Consideration of the Reasons aforesaid, agreed, not to insist on their Amendments made to the said Bill; and ORDERED, That the
Commons have Notice thereof.
