Liber No. 51

And for Ballance of his Account, 1757, his Exchange"
on Mr. William Perkins, to be remitted to the 286 1 3
Trustees by the first Ship, ...................
£631 14 6
|
|
But your Committee don't find that the Trustees have Credited
the Province with the said Sum of £319.18.4 and £286.1.3 by which
your Committee is induced to believe the said Order and Bills were
not paid, and that therefore the Ballance due from the said Officer
to the Year 1757, is £631.14.6 as appears by the above Account; and
your Committee take Leave further to Report to the Honourable
House, that they cannot find that the said Naval Officer has ren-
dered any Accounts for the 15 d. p Hogshead, for the Years 1758,
1759, 1760, or that the Trustees have Credited the Province with
any Monies or Bills remitted by the said Officer for the said Three
last Years; which your Committee think a great Breach of Duty in
that Officer, and a great Injury to the Province.
So for the Report.
Since which the following Calculation is made from Minutes
taken from the Book of Clearances of the Collector of Patuxent
District, and Mr. Darnall's Accounts rendered to the Agent.
