1732 A Act was then passed Laying a duty of fifteen
pence Sterling for Every Hogshead of Tobacco which shall
be Exported for and during the space of thirty one years next
ensuing the twenty Nineth day of September in the year
aforesaid for the better supporting the Credit of Ninety thou-
sand pounds emitted and made Current in Bills of Credit
The Ordinary expences are for Support of the Governor, an
allowance to the Council & Upper & Lower houses of Assem-
bly during their Attendance, and the Payment of the Superior
Courts of Law, and Officers in several Inferior Stations: As
the Extraordinary Expences are only made on particular
Occasions, they rarely happen so as to amount to a consid-
erable Sum Except Lately for Raising Supplying and Trans-
porting several forces by his Majestys command for the West
India and Canada Expeditions, and a Treaty of Peace with
the Indians and for which Provision was made by the Assembly
The Establishments as well Civil as Military depend on the
powers Granted by the Royal Charter to the Lord Baltimore
under whom all the Officers (except the Collectors & Sur-
veyors of his Majesty's Customs) hold their places.
