The Board met according to adjournment, Present
His Excellency Robert Eden, Esq^r

The Hon^ble Walter Dulany]
The Hon. George Steuart
& Esq^r

The Board after due examination of the Accounts of the
late Edward Lloyd, Esq^r from the 29^th September 1767, to
the Time he resign'd the Office of Agent, find the same to be
just and true, except an Outstanding Debt of £ 67..1.. 9 Ster-
ling due from John Rowe which is not admitted, and, ex-
clusive of which there appearing a Balance due to the Lord
Proprietor of £69...16...2 Sterling, the Clerk is ordered to write
to the Executors of M^r Lloyd to know if the same has been
Remitted.
The Board proceed to an Examination of the Accounts of
the Rev^d Bennet Allen during the Time he held the office of
Agent and Receiver General, and do approve thereof, pro-
vided the Remittances and payments therein charged have
been made, no vouchers having been produced except for the
Sum of £ 403...12...3 paid to the present Agent and a Bond for
the Sum of £147.. 15. lodged in the Revenue Office.
The Accounts of Daniel of S^t Thomas Jenifer Esq^r having
before been duly examined with the proper Vouchers, the
passage of them was postponed, only, for want of a List of
Outstanding Debts from his Predecessor, which Account has
been since obtained & the Balances transfer'd, from which the
several Accounts have been again Stated and found to agree,
they were therefore this Day approved of by the Board.
In consequence of a Petition to the Judges of the Land Office
laid before the Board this Day, it is their Direction that the
Sum of Seven Pounds Sterling which appears to have been

paid by the Petitioner to the late Agent on a Certificate, be
rec'd in part payment on the Certificate of Resurvey.
A Certificate of Resurvey, is laid before the Board, for a
certain T. Gosling returned by the Surveyor of Baltimore
County and on which a Proclamation warrant had been ob-
tained out of the Land Office, by reason it had not been
compounded on in due time; but it appearing to the Board by
a Certificate from the Examiner, that the delay was owing to
an Error of the Surveyor to whom it was return'd for Altera-
tion, It is therefore ordered that the Agent do receive the
Caution money due thereon, and that Patent may issue with
his Excellency's Approbation.
