Excerpt from The Colonial Records of the State of Georgia, Vol. 16: Journal of the Upper House of Assembly, January 7, 1755, to December 16, 1762, Inclusive The Upper House of Assembly was the King's Coun cil sitting as a branch of the Legislature. It was com posed of fourteen persons, all appointed by the King to serve during his pleasure; twelve Councilors in ordinary and two extraordinary, the Surveyor General of Customs and the General Commissioner of Indian Affairs.

It, for a long time, seldom originated bills, but confined its work to amending and perfecting such as were sent up to it by the Commons House of Assembly. But during the last few years of British rule it originated some bills which were passed by the Com mons House, but appropriation and tax bills had to originate in the Commons House. And had to pass as the Commons House had passed them, for the Upper House was not permitted to amend them.
