together with the several Vouchers for Payments therein
Charged, all which are examined. The Board, on Account of
no Settlement having been yet made with the Rev^d M^r Allen,
defer the further Consideration of said Accounts until Mon-
day the 26^th day of March.
His Excellency lays before the Board a Letter from M^r
Daniel Sulivane of Dorchester County informing, that a
certain Cratcher Lord of said County had obtained a Certifi-
cate and made a Survey on Lands supposed to be within a
Grant formerly made to the Nanticoke Indians and that a cer-
tain George Kirkman had a warrant of Resurvey on a Tract
of Land lying near the Nanticoke Indians' Town & has reason
to believe that the said Kirkman intends to include a large
Body of the said Indians' Land, if the Surveyor should be
permitted to follow Kirkman's Instructions.

Lib. No. 86

Ordered, that the Clerk do write to M^r Sulivane and ac-
quaint him, the Surveyor of Dorchester County will be Or-
dered not to return any Certificate that may affect Lands to
which the Nanticoke Indians have a Title under former
Grants.
The Board adjourn til Monday the 26^th March next.

The Rev^d M^r Allen attends the Board and represents, that
it has not been in his Power to get any Person properly
qualified to State his Accounts in a more regular manner than
those already furnished.
The Board agree to wait until M^r William Eddis, with the
assistance of the Clerk of this Board, shall State M^r Alien's
accounts in a mercantile manner in order for Examination,
provided M^r Allen will, without delay furnish M^r Eddis with
the necessary Books, Papers and Vouchers for that Purpose
and also make M^r Eddis a reasonable Compensation for his
Trouble in adjusting said Accounts.
The Board defer the further consideration of M^r Jenifer's
Accounts until those of the preceding agents shall have passed
the Board.
