Assembly Proceedings, Mar. 8, 1697/8-Apr. 4, 1698. 69

Quarter of the publick Revenue. This Board does say that
the Accots of the Quarter part of Pocomoke is a mistake of the
Receiver mr Plater being then Concerned for that District, who
shall explain it.
As for the mistake you think to be in Mr Platers Accot for
potomock, Care will be taken to Examine him about it. A
Lettr from yor House supposed to be for my Lord Bishop of
London, has been here Read; and his Exncy says that he's
sworn to have his Reputacon & Honr supported and vindicated
by some of you.
But shall rather looke upon it as a Scandall to have it so for
he Can prove one of yor House to be a villian upon Record if
not worse and severall others their lives & Conversations to
be too well known both in this Countrey & England That they
are not agreeable to truth and Justice.
Signed p Ordr Hen: Denton Cl. Concil
