But they credit the Province next Year his Bill on
William Anderson, not charged in his Naval Offi-
cer's Accounts for 27..0..0
Also the Naval Officer of Patuxent District in his Accounts
1755, charges the Province as follows :
To John Knight's Exchange on Johnson and
Company 53.. 6..3
And Edward Barnes on Spencer for 34.. 12..5
£87.. 18..8
Credit the Province by 15d per Hogshead on 995 Hogs-
heads of Tobacco 62.. 3.. 9

Province should have been again credited, and not being

And for Ballance of his Account 1757, his Exchange
on Mr William Perkins to be remitted to the Trustees by
the first Ship 286. 1..3
£631..14..6
But your Committee don't find that the Trustees have
credited the Province with the said Sums of £319..18.4: and
286..1..3: by which your Committee is induced to believe that
