Their Answer. 17. Feb.
[ CXXI] IN all matters of joynt concernment, the Commissioners of both Kingdoms are to act joyntly; and when they shall meet as a joynt Committee upon such matters of joynt concernment, the Commissioners of each Kingdom are to have a Negative Voice: and in doubtful cases, not expressed in the 17. Proposition to be of joynt concernment, where the Commissioners cannot agree whether or no they be of joynt concernment, they are to represent them to the two Houses of Parliament of England, and the Estates of the Parliament of Scotland respectively, to be by them determined, if they be sitting; and in the Intervals of Parliament, if the cases be such as cannot without prejudice to both or either Kingdom admit of delay, we conceive the Com∣missioners of each Kingdom are to act severally, and to be accomptable for it to the two Houses of Parliament of England, and the Estates of the Parliament of Scotland respe∣ctively, at their next sitting.
