L. H. J.

1707 recommended to the Honble House of Delegates to take
Care and give Directions Col^{o
Blackiston's Salary for one Year
due in September 1 706 then last past and also for the succeeding
Year 1707 should be allowed by the Committee who were ap-
pointed to apportion the Levy in October 1707 Upon which
his Excellency the Governor was assured by several of the
worthy Members of your House that they had taken Care and
given Directions therefor but upon Inspection of Journal of
the Committee it appears they made Colo
Blackiston Allow-
ance for the Year 1707 in full and wholly omitted for the Year
1706 which I humbly pray may be allowed him and also for
this Year 1708 and that Directions may be given to the pub-
lick Treasurer readily to pay the same

By the Committee of Accounts Eodem Die We have in-
spected the Journals of Accounts and Levies and find no Allow-
ance at all made for the above Service in the Year 1 705 but
in the year 1706 we find an Allowance of one hundred and
twenty Pounds which seems to be allowed for the Salary of
the Year 1705 there appearing no other Allowance for that
Year And also in the Year 1707 we find only an Allowance of
one Year's Salary exprest in the Journal to be allowed for this
present Year so that we find there is a Year's Salary due to
