Whereas I find upon Speciall Warrants, heretofore made for Re-
surveys of Several Quantitys of Land including Surplus Land
Granted by such Special Warrants [persons to whom such lands]
have been Granted are Negligent and Slow in paying their money for
such Surplus Land, you are hereby required impowered and Directed
to Cause all such persons immediately to pay you for my use what
they owe for such Special Warrants and more especially should any
of the Persons so Indebted to me, make the least Delay of paying the
same under pretence that it may be due to Mr Darnall and other the
Purchasers of the Quitt Rents under the Lady Dowager Baltimore,
upon the Suggestions of Mr James Carroll or any other person what-
soever, you shall sue them with the utmost Severity of the Law, and
take all the Advantages possibly in your power to Convince them of
their Error if they do not quietly Submitt after having Been Admon-
ished by you to pay the Same.
