Discusses Governor [Robert] Eden's proclamation to set fees for officers of the court. Considers the proclamation a restraint on the officers without obligatory force on the people who might refuse to pay the fees. Dicusses the dispute in the upper and lower houses of the [Maryland] Assembly. Believes the Courts should set fees. Asks Wormeley not to show letter to anyone because the great majority of those present disagree with him.
