are many Accounts not brought in, and several of the Services for
which Money hath been granted by the afore mentioned Acts, not
yet compleated; which will, when finished, not only require the afore-
said Ballances remaining in the Agents Hands, but the greatest, if not
all the remaining Part of the £40,000 in the Hands of the Com-
missioners, excepting the Money appropriated for Scalps, the Appli-
cation whereof depends upon Contingencies.

for Examination.

ourable House.
