missioners for Charles-Town aforesaid, further pray, that foras-

those for the Time being, may receive such Rent as is appointed by
the said Act to be paid to the Justices aforesaid, and to repay the
same to the said Trustees, in the same Manner as the said Justices
by the said Act are required and directed, and that when the said
Sum shall be repayed into the Loan-Office, that then the Rents and
Profits arising from the same, shall be paid to the Commissioners
of the said Town for the Time being, and be by them applied to the
Benefit of the Public of the said Town only, and to be accounted for
by the said Commissioners as is directed by other Acts relating to
the said Town. All which are thought by this General Assembly to
