From this State of the Account, there still appears
to be in the Hands of the Agents the Sum of. £1268 17 4 1/4
Which, added to £4694.3.0 now in the Hands of the Commis-
sioners of the Loan-Office, makes the Sum of £5963.0.4 1/4 still to be
applied as by the abovementioned Act is directed; but the Accounts of
the Agents not being closed to a certain Day, nor delivered in upon
Oath, your Committee could not Report what the real Ballance of
the £ 11250 is at this Time: And must observe, that the above Article
of £493.4.4 in the Hands of Capt. Dagworthy, is still to be applied
towards Payment of the Officers and Soldiers from the Twentieth
Day of August last, and for the Payment of Tradesmen and Labour-
ers at Work on the Fort. And that the Sum of £600 paid, as above,
to Horatio Sharpe, Esq; does not appear to us to be applied by his
Excellency in any Manner, tho' in an Order of the 4th of Septem-
ber, and a Receipt of the nth, it is mentioned for the Subsistence
of the Troops that have been raised for the Protection of the Fron-
tiers; which may, as your Committee humbly conceive, be applied by
him as well to Troops raised before the making the said Act, as to
those raised in Pursuance thereof, for Garrisoning the Fort and
Block-Houses by the said Act to be Erected.
