Your Committee think themselves obliged to observe to the Hon-
ourable House, that of the Bounty-Money abovementioned, the Sum
of £300 was delivered to Lieutenant Duncan M'Rae for the Recruit-
ing Service, and the Sum of f 50 to Ensign Burr Harrison, £100 to
Ensign Alexander Somerville, and £30 to Ensign Rezin Beall, for

Agents have not complied with their Duty, pursuant to the Directions
of the Act aforesaid.
From the preceding Account, please to observe, that only £149 4 11
has been applied to the Payment of Captain Dagworthy's Company
till the 8th of May last, and the further Sum of £ 299 11 towards
the Subsistence of said Company till the 8th July; since which Time
no other Accounts relative to the Support of that Company appear
on the Agents Books; and by the Certificates endorsed on the Rolls
of that Company, your Committee find, that they were mustered at
Fort Cumberland; and think it their Duty to acquaint the House,
that from the Appearance the Muster Rolls of the other Companies
make, there is great Room to suspect, that many of the Men that
