may appear whether there was a full remittance or not Your
Comittee further Report that many of the Original Accounts of the
Naval Officers are not to be found by Us in the Assembly office,
that are entered, and that none of the Naval Officers Accounts are
recorded or entered by the Clerk of the Lower House since the Year
1757 tho many of their Accounts appear to have been returned
since that time and as there does in some Instances Appear a Negli-
gence in the Said Clerk in not entering some Accounts which have
been rendered by the said Naval Officers, we cannot say whether
the Naval Officers whose Accounts do not appear have been remiss
in their Duty or whether such Accounts be lost or mislaid by the
Said Clerk
