measure ought to be adopted, not exceeding the Commission
above specified.
The Board having Inspected the Agent's Accounts & the
Clerk carefully compared them with the several vouchers the
same are passed, except the Article of Charge by way of
Salary part of which had been before allowed in his Account
passed with the Executors of the late Lord Proprietary &
which the Agent had before noted.
