May It please your Exncy & Honrs
On Inspection into the Journalls of the house of Delegates
dureing the time the honourable Edwd Lloyd Esqr was presi-
dent & Commander in chief in this province and by the
testimony of Several members of this house wee find that the
said Col Edwd Lloyd on his allegations that he had not then
Received nor had any certainty of receiving any benefit by his
being President was allowed the Sallary & Itinerant charges
of a Councellor amounting in the whole to 52£ 13s 6d and
2958olb Tobo notwithstanding which allegations, wee find the
said Col Edwd Lloyd then had received part and Since received
the full one half of the 9d p hhd and sundry other perquisites
Sufficient to answer his charge and attendance, and forasmuch
as wee also find that none of those that Preceeded the said
Col Edwd Lloyd in the said Station ever was allowed such a
Sallary and charges and that by Her Matys Instructions he
was Constituted a Body distinct from the rest of the Council,
Therefore resolved nemine Contradicente that the said allow-
ances were Craved & received by him on his misinformatino
& that therefore the said Col Edwd Lloyd ought to account for
and pay the same to the publick wth which wee pray your
Exncy & Honrs concurrence.
