& U. S.

sented to me Yesterday in the Afternoon, and by a Petition
which hath been sent me by John Darnall and Charles Carroll
Esquires, that M^r Henry Darnall the Naval Officer of Patux-
ent hath been guilty of a great Breach of Duty, and hath failed
to remit to the Trustees in England, sundry Sums of Money
which he ought to have remitted, amounting as I guess, to
about sixteen hundred Pounds sterling, I desire you will
forthwith take the necessary Steps in Order to compel M^r
Henry Darnall and his Sureties to indemnify the Country;
wherefore I send you the Committee's Report together with a
Bond which M^r Darnall and his Sureties executed at the Time
he was appointed Naval Officer, and the abovementioned Pe-
tition of John Darnall and Charles Carroll Esquires, from
whom if such a Step is proper you will receive the Penalty of
their Bond for the Use of the Province without putting them
to the Expense and Trouble of a Suit. I am, Sir, your very
humble Servant
