The Journal of the Committee of Accounts being Read is sent to
the Lower House with the following Message by Richard Lee Esqr
By the Upper House of Assembly 10th June 1748
Gentlemen
On Perusal of the Journal of Accounts We cannot find any Allow-
ance made to the Governor for 1440 £wt Tobacco for the Seal to
12 Proclamations in 1742 nor of the Late Governors Account of
Expences about the house Designed for the Governor, nor is any
Allowance made of 2040 £wt Tobacco and three Pounds Currency
Due also to the Late Governor for Seals to Several Proclamations
and two Death Warrants, and Money Paid for a Journey to Cresap
on Publick Business neither is any Allowance made of a Ballance
of £120..07..9 Due to the Clerk of this house for Transcribing the
Journals, nor are Several Accounts Due to the Printer allowed
All these aforementioned accounts were Laid before your house
in the Last Session, but upon your Message of the 11th of July 1747
This house Relying on Your Allowance of them this Session Waved
any further insisting on them at that Time, but now We cannot see
any Reason to Delay having the several Articles allowed.
Since the Last Session several fees and Expences have incurred
due in the Prosecution of four Spanish Prisoners, which we Ob-
serve are not allowed but we hope you will on Reconsideration insert
those fees and Expences in the Journal, and also rectify a Mistake
in the Deduction of a fourth instead of a fifth Out of the Chancel-
lors fees Stated in the Journal to be Due to Novemr 1747
When these Several Allowances are made the Journal will pass
Signed p Order John Ross Cl Up Ho
