Subsistance and Cloathing of the said Men, was expended, till the
said Troops were taken into his Majesty's Service in the Year 1758
by General Forbes, so far as the same shall appear to be just and
reasonable.
And it is further Resolved, That if it shall appear that General
Forbes has not paid all the Money that accrued due for the Pay,
Victualling and Cloathing of the said Men, from the Time the Money
granted for that Purpose was expended, till the Time they were

and Cloathing of the said Men.
Resolved, That this House will, out of the first Supplies that shall
be granted for his Majesty's Service, appropriate a Sum sufficient
to pay the Money advanced in 1758 by General Forbes, for the Pay
and Cloathing of the Troops formerly in the Pay of this Province,
and by him taken into his Majesty's Service, from the Time those
Troops entered into the said Service, to the End of the Campaign
in 1758, so far as the same shall appear to this House to be just and
reasonable.
